Highly efficient white light generation from barium fluoride

Light yield and surface treatment of barium fluoride crystals *

We report on a study of the light yield and surface treatment of barium fluoride (BaF2) scintillation crystals. Using a bialkali photocathode the photoelectron (p.e.) yield of BaF, crystals was measured to be 130 p.e./MeV for the fast components and 700 p.e./MeV for the slow component. A somewhat hygroscopic nature for the BaF, is found. Teflon film was found to be the best wrapping material fo...

Highly efficient phosphor-converted white organic light-emitting diodes with moderate microcavity and light-recycling filters.

We demonstrate the combined effects of a microcavity structure and light-recycling filters (LRFs) on the forward electrical efficiency of phosphor-converted white organic light-emitting diodes (pc-WOLEDs). The introduction of a single pair of low- and high-index layers (SiO(2)/TiO(2)) improves the blue emission from blue OLED and the insertion of blue-passing and yellow-reflecting LRFs enhances...

On optical bleaching of barium fluoride crystals

Barium fluoride (Baf2) crystals were considered by the GEM Collaboration, to be used in constructing a precision electromagnetic calorimeter at the SSC [1] . The key issue of using this crystal at the SSC is its radiation resistance [2] . An Expert Panel was assigned by the SSC laboratory to review the radiation damage problem of BaFz. The Panel met in December 1991 and again in January 1992 fo...

Highly efficient methane generation from untreated microalgae biomass

BACKGROUND The fact that microalgae perform very efficiently photosynthetic conversion of sunlight into chemical energy has moved them into the focus of regenerative fuel research. Especially, biogas generation via anaerobic digestion is economically attractive due to the comparably simple apparative process technology and the theoretical possibility of converting the entire algal biomass to bi...
