Evaluation of the UFXC32k photon‐counting detector for pump–probe experiments using synchrotron radiation

This paper presents the performance of a single‐photon‐counting hybrid pixel X‐ray detector with synchrotron radiation. The camera was evaluated with respect to time‐resolved experiments, namely pump–probe–probe experiments held at SOLEIL. The UFXC camera shows very good energy resolution of around 1.5 keV and allows the minimum threshold setting to be as low as 3 keV keeping the high‐count‐rate capabilities. Measurements of a synchrotron characteristic filling mode prove the proper separation of an isolated bunch of photons and the usability of the detector in time‐resolved experiments.     

Pyrazoloquinolines – alternative chromophores for organic LED fabrication

In this paper the synthesis of some new chromophores which could be used in polymer/organic LED fabrication are presented. All of them are pyrazoloquinoline (PAQ) derivatives. Their emission properties were tuned by side group substitution. They were characterized by absorption and photoemission spectroscopy. Some were used, dispersed in poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) matrix, as the emissive layer in LED structures.
