Ce Content

ABSTRACTRecent spectroscopic and radiation damage experiments on a series of CexLa1-xF3 crystals suggest that the scintillation light output is limited by an unusual quenching mechanism, which also plays a major role in minimizing radiation-induced damage. The intensity of the radiation-induced absorptions is a strong function ofthe Ce content x, reaching a maximum for x = 0.03 and a minimum for x = 1. This peculiar dependence appears to be due to the influence of deep-lying Ce levels onboth scintillation mechanism and radiation damage. We suggest that various charge transfer processes can explain many aspects of the performance of CexLa1-xF3 scintillators.

Molecular Picture

<span>Inorganic semiconductor devices such as transistors have been instrumental in shaping the development of our society of information and communication. Recently, the electronics and photonics technologies have opened their materials base to organics, in particular p-conjugated oligomers and polymers. The goal with organics-based devices is not necessarily to attain or exceed the level of performance of inorganic semiconductor technologies...</span>
