Scintillator materials convert high-energy radiation into photons in the ultraviolet to visible light region for detection. In this review, advances X-ray emission dynamics of inorganic scintillators are presented, including halides (alkali-metal halides, alkaline-earth rare-earth oxy-halides, oxyorthosilicates, halide perovskites), oxides (binary oxides, complex post-transition metal oxides), ...

Transition metal oxides, such as the mixed-valent rare-earth manganites Ln(1-x)AxMnO3 (Ln, rare-earth ion, and A, alkaline-earth ion), show a variety of electronic orders with spatially correlated charge, spin and orbital arrangements, which in turn give rise to many fascinating phenomena and properties. These materials are also electronically inhomogeneous, i.e. they contain disjoint spatial r...

a proton nmr method for the drtermination of salvation numbers of alkaline earth cations with hexamethyl phosphoramide (hmpa) in nitromethane (nm) as diluents is described. the method is based on monitoring the resonance frequency of hmpa protons as a function of hmpa / metal ion molar ratio at constant metalion concentration. the average salvation number of cations,  , at any hmpa / metal ion ...

Investigating the release characteristics of alkali and alkaline earth metallic species (AAEMs) is of potential interest because of AAEM's possible useful service as catalysts in biomass thermal conversion. In this study, three kinds of typical Chinese biomass were selected to pyrolyse and their chars were subsequently steam gasified in a designed quartz fixed-bed reactor to investigate the rel...
