Experiments on co-doped CsI:Tl,Sm suggest that samarium electron traps scavenge electrons from thallium traps and that electrons subsequently released by samarium recombine non-radiatively with trapped holes, thus suppressing afterglow. These experiments support the inference that electrons tunnel freely between samarium ions and are trapped preferentially as substitutional Sm near VKA(Tl) cent...

Active Learning in Materials Science and Engineering

Active learning is not only a key element of CDIO syllabi, but is expected to increase student motivation, commitment and retention. The incorporation of active learning elements into a materials engineering programme is considered by means of three example modules. The implications of introducing these modules into a materials programme is discussed in terms of five Ts – their titles, testing,...

The Introductory Materials Science and Engineering Course

The introductory materials science and engineering course offered at the college/university level is, for many instructors, very difficult to design and to teach. This presentation discusses challenges for the course, as well as several problematic issues to include: course content, course organization, and course mechanics. The results of two surveys of engineering faculty are presented and di...
