Spectroscopy with next generation scintillator arrays
Historically, gamma-ray spectroscopy has transitioned from using scintillator detectors with high efficiency but relatively low energy resolution to germanium detectors with high intrinsic energy resolution but much lower intrinsic efficiency. Next-generation scintillator materials such as lanthanum bromide, cerium bromide have become available over the last decade offering significantly improv...
متن کاملBa11La4Br34: a new barium lanthanum bromide
The structure of the title compound, barium lanthanum bromide (11/4/34), can be derived from the fluorite structure. The asymmetric unit contains two Ba sites (one with site symmetry 4/m..), one La site (site symmetry 4..), one mixed-occupied Ba and La site (ratio 1:1, site symmetry m..) and six Br sites (one with site symmetry \=4.., one with 2.., one with m.., the latter being disordered over...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of La3OBr[AsO3]2
Colorless needles of the arsenite bromide La3OBr[AsO3]2 were synthesized from ammonium dihydrogen arsenate, ammonium bromide and lanthanum oxide in an NaBr/KBr flux at 900 ◦C. La3OBr[AsO3]2 crystallizes with the centrosymmetric tetragonal La3OCl[AsO3]2 type, space group P42/mnm. The structure was refined from single-crystal diffractometer data: a = 13.0431(15), c = 5.6127(7) Å, wR2 = 0.0454, 94...
متن کاملFirst-principles Study of Ce doped Lanthanum Silicate Nitride Phosphors: Neutral Excitation, Stokes Shift and Luminescent Center Identification
We study from first principles two lanthanum silicate nitride compounds, LaSi3N5 and La3Si6N11, pristine as well as doped with Ce ion, in view of explaining their different emission color, and characterising the luminescent center. The electronic structures of the two undoped hosts are similar, and do not give a hint to quantitatively describe such difference. The 4f → 5d neutral excitation of ...
متن کاملCe and La single- and double-substitutional defects in yttrium aluminum garnet: first-principles study.
The atomistic structure, energetics, and electronic structure of single-substitutional Ce and La defects and double-substitutional Ce-La defects in Ce,La-codoped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) Y(3)Al(5)O(12) have been studied by means of first-principles periodic boundary conditions density functional theory calculations. Single substitution of Y by Ce or by La produces atomistic expansions arou...
