We elucidate that the luminescence from Eu3+-doped phosphor excited by the electron collision can be modified on location near the metallic nanoparticles. The Eu3+-doped phosphor was fabricated on the nanoscaled Ag particles ranging of 5 nm to 30 nm diameter. As a result of the cathodoluminescence measurements, the phosphor films on the Ag particles showed up to twofold more than that of an iso...

A new instrumental concept, distance-of-flight mass spectrometry (DOFMS), is demonstrated experimentally. In DOFMS the mass-to-charge ratio of ions is determined by the distance each ion travels during a fixed time period; the mass spectrum is then recorded with a position-sensitive detector. The DOF approach provides a new way to separate and quantify components of complex samples. Initial res...

Generally in a white light-emitting diode (LED), a phosphor slurry is placed around the semiconductor chip or the phosphor is conformally coated over the chip to covert the narrowband, short-wavelength radiation to a broadband white light. Over the past few years, the remote-phosphor method has provided significant improvement in overall system efficiency by reducing the photons absorbed by the...

Red (SrCa)AlSiN3: Eu nitride phosphor with different particle sizes were characterized based on physical and luminescent properties, then packaged into Chip-On-Board (COB) Warm White Light Emitting Diode (LED) modules to investigate the influence of particle size on packaging parameters and optical output of the COB LED devices. The phosphor particle sizes investigated were 10μm, 12μm and 14μm,...

Introduction Recurrent or secondary caries develops at the margin of restorations and causes restorative failure. We conducted this study to compare the performance of Phosphor Storage Plate (PSP) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan in detecting buccal recurrent caries under amalgam and composite resin restorations. Materials and Methods Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal...

The Gd2O2S:Tb based phosphor coupled with photodetectors has been widely used in digital x-ray imaging applications. The key issues associated with phosphor film are x-ray absorption and conversion efficiency, spatial resolution, deposition uniformity, and integration with the imaging array. In this article we report on experimental studies of the phosphor film synthesis, deposition, and charac...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum sequence for combined modality therapy with radiolabeled antibodies and fractionated external beam radiation. METHODS The uptake and distribution of a nontherapeutic activity of 125I-labeled tumor-associated A33 monoclonal antibody was determined in SW1222 human colon carcinoma xenografts in nude mice for 4 study groups: group ...

The most common phosphor in white LEDs is YAG:Ce; however, low radiant energy produced by this phosphor in the long wavelength (red) portion of the spectrum results in low color rendering (CRI) values, making the white LEDs less acceptable for general illumination. Mixing a suitable red phosphor with YAG:Ce improves CRI. Past studies have shown that when more than one phosphor is used in a conv...

Flexible X-ray storage phosphor sheets are regarded as promising alternatives to conventional electronic flat-panel detectors, enabling imaging and dosimetry in less accessible situations. However, it is a challenge develop phosphor-based detectors with high memory stability convenient readout processes. Here, an approach realize this using radiation-induced photoluminescence tuning (Ba1-xSrx)2...
