The study on optically stimulated luminescence dosimeter based on the SrS：Eu,Sm and CaS：Eu,Sm

With the increasing use of nuclear energy, there is a need for a wider range of efficient dosimeters for radiation detection and assessment. There has been a tremendous growth in the development of radiation detectors and devices in the past few decades. In recent years, the development of new materials for radiation dosimetry has progressed significantly. Alkaline earth sulfides （AES） have been known for a long time as excellent and versatile phosphor materials. In the present investigation, a number of phosphor samples such as mono-, binary and ternary sulfides of alkaline earths （II^a-VI^b） have been prepared and their TL properties have been studied with respect to exposure （x-ray） response and fading. In this paper, some results on SrS：Eu, Sm and CaS：Eu, Sm phosphors are presented. A type of novel OSL dosimeter is described. The dosimeter takes advantage of the characteristics of charge trapping materials SrS：Eu, Sm and CaS：Eu, Sm that exhibit optically stimulated luminescence （OSL）. The measuring range of the dosimeter is from 0.01 to 1000 Gy. The OSL dosimeters provide capability for remote monitoring radiation locations which are difficult to access and hazardous. This equipment is relatively simple, small in size and has low power consumption. The device is suitable for space radiation dose exploration. In addition, it also can be used in IC and other radiation occasions and has good prospects.

稀土掺杂碱土金属硫化物晶体中的载流子俘获中心

研究了典型红外激励发光材料XS:Ra,Sm(X=Sr,Ca;Ra=Ce,Eu)的激励发光过程中电子与空穴的俘获中心及其转移过程,通过激发前后的红外吸收光谱的差异及吸收差与光激励谱的细微结构说明,电子俘获中心并不是Sm³⁺离子,但与Sm³⁺离子处于相邻的空间位置关系,Sm³⁺离子在载流子俘获与复合的过程中也没有发生价态或数量的变化,进一步的EPR谱研究表明Eu²⁺离子的价态在激发前后也没有发生变化。与共价性强的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族半导体晶体不同的是,在这类离子性较强的晶体中,载流子被杂质所引起的晶格缺陷而非杂质本身俘获。在多种发光中心的情况下,不同的激发波长可以使空穴束缚在不同的发光中心附近,随后产生不同的光激励发光。

Time-related luminescence spectroscopic investigation of electron trapping and recombination in infrared stimulated luminescence

Infrared stimulated luminescence (ISL) occurred in CaS:Eu,Sm due to formation of luminescent centres Eu²⁺ and electron trapping centres Sm³⁺. The electron trapping centres Sm³⁺ became occupied (forming Sm²⁺ by trapping excited electrons) in photoluminescence (PL) excitation (PLX) process causing simultaneous ionization of luminescent centres Eu²⁺ (leaving Eu³⁺ by losing an electron or capturing a hole). In this paper, the electron trapping in PLX and the recombination in ISL were examined by the time-related PL and ISL spectra of CaS:Eu,Sm. The spectroscopic evidence confirmed that the ISL in CaS:Eu,Sm was produced due to recombination of de-trapped electrons and previously ionized luminescent centres (Eu³⁺). It was believed that the electron trapping occurred concurrently as occurrence of the PL of Eu²⁺ in PLX process. However, the recombination of de-trapped electrons and previously ionized luminescent centres took about 10 s or even more to occur after infrared irradiation. PACS 78.55.-m; 78.45.+h

Application of maximum entropy method for the study of electron density distribution in SrS, BaS and PuS using powder X-ray data

A study of the electronic structure of the three sulphides, SrS, BaS and PuS has been carried out in this work, using the powder X-ray intensity data from JCPDS powder diffraction data base. The statistical approach, MEM (maximum entropy method) is used for the analysis of the data for the electron density distribution in these materials and an attempt has been made to understand the bonding between the metal atom and the sulphur atom. The mid-bond electron density is found to be maximum for PuS among these three sulphides, being 0.584 e/Å3 at 2.397 Å. SrS is found to have the lowest electron density at the mid-bond (0.003 e/ų) at 2.118 Å from the origin leaving it more ionic than the other two sulphides studied in this work. The two-dimensional electron density maps on (100) and (110) planes and the one-dimensional profiles along the bonding direction [111] are used for these analyses. The overall and individual Debye-Waller factors of atoms in these systems have also been studied and analyzed. The refinements of the observed X-ray data were carried out using standard softwares and also a routine written by the author     

Electron momentum density, band structure, and structural properties of SrS

The electron momentum density, the electronic band structure, and the structural properties of SrS are presented in this paper. The isotropic Compton profile, anisotropies in the directional Compton profiles, the electronic band structure and density of states are calculated using the ab initio periodic linear combination of atomic orbitals method with the CRYSTAL06 code. Structural parameters of SrS—lattice constants and bulk moduli in the B1 and B2 phases—are computed together with the transition pressure. The computed parameters are well in agreement with earlier investigations. To compare the calculated isotropic Compton profile, measurement on polycrystalline SrS is performed using 5Ci-²⁴¹Am Compton spectrometer. Additionally, charge transfer is studied by means of the Compton profiles computed from the ionic model. The nature of bonding in the isovalent SrS and SrO compounds is compared on the basis of equal-valenceelectron-density profiles and the bonding in SrS is found to be more covalent than in SrO.

Luminescent impurity doping trends in alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent phosphors

The doping properties of three alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) phosphor host/luminescent impurity systems, ZnS:Mn, SrS:Ce, and SrS:Cu, are elucidated, and the ACTFEL device implications of these properties are assessed. Mn is isovalent, Ce is a donor, and Cu is an acceptor. Moreover, Ce is readily ionized in SrS, so that it behaves as a double donor. The distinctly different doping nature of these three luminescent impurities leads to dramatically disparate defect and device physics trends. The donor/acceptor nature of Ce/Cu in SrS results in charge neutrality being achieved in SrS:Ce and SrS:Cu via self-compensation-induced vacancy creation; subsequent defect complexing between oppositely charged luminescent impurities and self-compensation-induced vacancies results in more complex ACTFEL device behaviors such as dynamic space charge, trailing-edge emission, charge collapse, color tuning, and electroluminescence (EL) thermal quenching. In contrast, the isovalent nature of ZnS:Mn leads to more ideal ACTFEL device operation. This suggests that the optimal ACTFEL phosphor luminescent impurity is isovalent.

Non-resonant X-ray/laser interaction spectroscopy as a method for assessing charge competition, trapping and luminescence efficiency in wide band-gap materials

Using a conventional fast-shuttered laboratory X-ray source in combination with pulsed laser diode modules, the possibilities for undertaking X-ray/laser interaction spectroscopy in wide band-gap luminescent materials are explored. It is shown that in such materials, a variety of X-ray/laser timing sequences can extract complimentary information regarding the charge-carrier trapping, de-trapping and recombination processes. The effects on the luminescence are illustrated for six example materials (YPO₄:Ce,Sm, Lu₃Al₅O₁₂:Pr, Al₂O₃:C, natural sodium feldspar NaAlSi₃O₈, cubic BN and type IIa natural diamond). By ramping the temperature from 10 to 320 K during repeated X-ray pump/laser-probe activation cycles, a rapid assessment can be made of the important thermally dependent changes to the charge carrier trapping competition processes.

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,构建了Sm、Sb及Sm和Sb共掺杂SnO₂超晶胞模型,研究了经过几何优化后的各掺杂体系的焓变值、能带结构、态密度、电荷布居、介电常数、吸收系数、反射率等光电性质.结果表明：Sm和Sb的掺杂可以有效地提升SnO₂的导电性能,且Sb和Sm共掺杂体系的电学性能最佳. Sm和Sb掺杂还可以增加SnO₂在红外波段的电子极化能力和电子跃迁概率,提升了红外反射率,且共掺杂体系的电子束缚能力最强、反射率最高.这为SnO₂基光电材料的研制提供了一定的理论依据.
