The single crystals CdIn2S4Au were grown from preliminarily synthesized polycrystals by the method of chemical transport reactions in a closed volume with iodine used as a carrier. The influence of doping CdIn2S4 single crystals by gold (3 mol %) on their X-ray dosimetric parameters is studied. It is found that the X-ray sensitivity coefficients of CdIn2S4Au crystals increase 6–8 times compared with undoped CdIn2S4 at effective radiation hardness Va= 25–50 keV and dose rate E=0.75–78.05 R/min. Moreover, the persistence of the crystal characteristics completely disappears and the supple voltage of a CdIn2S4Au roentgen detector decreases threefold. The dependence of the steady X-ray-induced current in CdIn2S4Au on the X-ray dose is described by linear law. The studied crystals have a rather high room-temperature X-ray sensitivity (K=2·10-9–1.5·10-8 (A·min)/(R·V)) and are attractive as materials for X-ray detectors.

Optically transparent single crystals of potassium acid phthalate (KAP, 0.5 g) 0.05 g and 0.1 g (1 and 2 mol %) trytophan were grown in aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. Single crystal X- ray diffraction analysis confirmed the changes in the lattice parameters of the doped crystals. The presence of functional groups in the crystal lattice has been determined qualitatively by FTIR analysis. Optical absorption studies revealed that the doped crystals possess very low absorption in the entire visible region. The dielectric constant has been studied as a function of frequency for the doped crystals. The thermal stability was evaluated by TG-DSC analysis.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the damage and strain produced in Ge (100) single crystals by implantation of various doses of 300 keV 28Si ions at room temperature. The analyzing tools were x-ray double-crystal diffractometry, and MeV 4He channeling spectrometry. The damage induced by implantation produces positive strain in Ge (100). The maximum perpendicular strain and maximum defect concentration rise nonlinearly with increasing dose. These quantities are linearly related with a dose-independent coefficient of ∼ 0.013 for Ge (100) single crystals implanted at room temperature. The results are compared with those available for Si (100) self-implantation. We have also monitored the strain and defects generated in pseudomorphic Ge0.1Si0.9/Si (100) films induced by room temperature 28Si ion implantation. It is found that the relationship between the strain and defect concentration induced by ion implantation is no longer a simple linear one.

A study of the polarized infrared and Raman spectra of acenaphthylene single crystals has been made. These results, together with Gordon and Yang's preliminary X-ray work, suggest that the molecules pack in some disordered arrangement in the solid at room temperature. Most of the A1 fundamentals were identified in the Raman solution spectrum from their low depolarization ratio, and a few tentative assignments of nontotally symmetric fundamentals were made.

LiNbO3 single crystals were implanted at room temperature with Eu+ ions at 70 keV with fluence ranging from 0.5 to 5 × 1016 ions · cm−2. The damage in the implanted layer has been investigated by Channeling Rutherford Backscattering (RBS-C), and the oxidation states of the cations have been determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Following implantation, a fully amorphized layer of 60 nm is generated, even for the lowest fluence employed. Subsequent annealing in air, in the range 800–1250 K, was applied to restore tentatively the crystallinity and promote the substitutional incorporation of Eu in the crystal. Only a partial recrystallization of the damaged layer was observed. For as-implanted samples, XPS spectra clearly reveal europium in Eu2+ and Eu3+ states, and the Nb5+ ions are driven to lower charge states.

The synthesis and the characterization of the complex salt [Au(tBu2PH)2][HCl2] (2) resulting from the reaction of hydrogen tetrachloridoaurate(III) hydrate with tBu2PH in dichloromethane at room temperature is reported. Single crystals of 2 have been analyzed by X-ray crystallography: monoclinic, P21=c, Z = 12, a = 12:0805(3), b = 12:3729(4), c = 46:7506(13) Å ; ß = 90:948(2)°; V = 6986:9(3) Å3; T = 173(2) K. The hydrogen bihalide anions [HCl2]- fill the interstices between the large complex cations [Au(tBu2PH)2]+ in the crystal.

When crystals of 9-tricyclo[4.4.1.0]undecalyl-4-(carbomethoxy)phenyl ketone (1) were allowed to stand in the dark for extended periods of time at room temperature, the compound underwent a thermal reaction — the enolene rearrangement — to afford enol 2. The crystals remained transparent and appeared unchanged in shape as the reaction proceeded. X-ray diffraction data were collected on single crystals containing 17%, 25%, 66%, and 100% of the enol. The crystal structure of a simple enol was obtained via this novel single-crystal-to-single-crystal enolene rearrangement.Key words: single crystal, thermal, rearrangement, enol, enolene.

CaWO4 doped with 0.8 % at. Nd (Nd:CaWO4) single crystals were grown from the melt in air by the Czochralski technique. The critical diameter dc = 1.0 cm and the critical rate of rotation ?c = 30 rpm were calculated from hydrodynamic equations for buoyancy-driven and forced convection. The rate of crystal growth was experimentally obtained to be 6.7 mm/h. For chemical polishing, a solution of 1 part saturated chromic acid (CrO3 in water) and 3 parts conc. H3PO4 (85 %) at 433 K with an exposure time of 2 h was found to be adequate. A mixture of 1 part concentrated HF and 2 parts chromic acid at room temperature after exposure for 30 min was found to be a suitable etching solution. The lattice parameters a = 0.52404 (6) nm, c = 1.1362 (6) nm and V0 = 0.312 (2) nm3 were determined by X-ray powder diffraction. The obtained results are discussed and compared with published data.
