Fabrication of an alpha particle counter: spin coated films of synthesized nanocrystalline cadmium tungstate powder
Background: CdWO4 is a scintillator with some unique properties. For example, high density, thermal and chemical stability and so on. Different applications of this scintillator such as X-ray scintillator has been investigated thoroughly so far. However, there is limited number of studies reporting the characteristics of CdWO4 as an alpha counter. Materials and Methods: The CdWO4 powder was syn...
متن کاملAlpha particle emission from reference glass surfaces implanted with 210Po.
Implanted long-lived radon decay products in glass surfaces have been used as a measure of past radon exposure in homes. Special track-etch devices (so-called 'retro-detectors') attached to the glass surface, have the ability to specifically measure the implanted activity of 210Po in situ. Calibrating these devices for 210Po is fairly straightforward, but the retro-detectors are also sensitive ...
متن کاملField emission from organic materials
Field emission displays (FEDs) show great promise as high performance flat panel displays. The light emission process is efficient, long lifetimes are possible with high brightness, and bright passive matrix displays can be built. Because passive matrix displays don’t need a transistor backplane, it was once thought that these displays would be cheaper to fabricate than their competitors. It is...
متن کاملDynamical particle-phonon couplings in proton emission from spherical nuclei
We present results of coupled-channels calculations which are performed to understand the role of vibrational excitations of the daughter nucleus in proton emission decay of spherical nuclei. It is shown that the experimental decay rates from the 2d3/2, 3s1/2 and 1h11/2 states in proton emitting nuclei Re are reproduced simultaneously when the quadrupole phonon excitation of the core nuclei is ...
متن کاملAlpha-particle condensation in nuclei
A round up of the present status of the conjecture that nα nuclei form an αparticle condensate in excited states close to the nα threshold is given. Experiments which could demonstrate the condensate character are proposed. Possible lines of further theoretical developments are discussed. In this article we want to report on the present status of our recent conjecture [1] that at least light nα...
