Soft-x-ray damage to p-terphenyl coatings for detectors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The organic phosphor p-terphenyl is used as a wavelength-converter coating in some soft-x-ray detectors. We have measured the absolute photoluminescent efficiency of p-terphenyl as a function of incident photon energy from 36 to 191 eV. We have also measured changes in the efficiency caused by soft-x-ray fluence (total photons absorbed per unit area) at several photon energies in this range. We find that efficiency drops rapidly as a function of fluence, with the rate of decrease increasing with higher soft x-ray energies.

متن کاملConformation of p-terphenyl under hydrostatic pressure.
The conformation of p-terphenyl (C18H14) and deuterated p-terphenyl (C18D14) has been investigated, using high-pressure infrared spectroscopy at liquid-helium temperatures. First-principles calculations, together with the experimental results, were performed to determine the structure of p-terphenyl in the twisted conformation. At low temperatures and pressures, p-terphenyl belongs to the C2 po...

This thesis has two distinct components. One concerns the physics of the high energy resolution X-ray Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) detectors used to measure the cosmic Xray background (XRB) spectrum. The other involves the measurements and analysis of the XRB spectrum and instrumental background with these detectors on board the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA). The XRB ...
متن کاملUnfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5
Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...
متن کاملA new X-ray method for residual stress evaluation in coatings
Transition metal nitride coatings films such as TiN or ZrN have been extensively studied for industrial applications. Residual stresses of the coatings generally affect the mechanical behaviour and the corrosion resistance and hence the performance of the product. The development of new, fast and simple methods for the assessment of residual stresses is then of great importance for coating tech...
