This paper reports experimental study on the development of cadmium tungstate scintillator material in the form of nanocrystal films through controlled sol–gel processing and pre-designed doping. We chose cadmium tungstate as a base material for doping and nanostructure development due to its excellent inherent photoluminescence (PL) property, and chemical and thermal stability including non-hy...

Lead tungstate (PbWO4) and cadmium tungstate (CdWO4) are dense, fast scintillator crystals which have achieved technological importance for high energy radiation detectors and medical imaging, respectively. Calcium tungstate (CaWO4, the mineral scheelite) is an important phosphor for lighting and displays. We recently compared the electronic structures of the four scheelite-structure materials ...

Ultrafast pulsed laser ablation has been investigated as a technique to machine CdWO4 single crystal scintillator and segment it into small blocks with the aim of fabricating a 2D high energy X-ray imaging array. Cadmium tungstate (CdWO4) is a brittle transparent scintillator used for the detection of high energy X-rays and γ-rays. A 6 W Yb:KGW Pharos-SP pulsed laser of wavelength 1028 nmwas us...

An experiment to search for double beta processes in Cd by using cadmium tungstate crystal scintillator enriched in Cd (106CdWO4) in coincidence with the four crystals HPGe detector GeMulti is in progress at the STELLA facility of the Gran Sasso underground laboratory of INFN (Italy). The 106CdWO4 scintillator is viewed by a low-background photomultiplier tube through a lead tungstate crystal l...

Morphological transformation of Syrian hamster embryo cells was induced by direct exposure to some inorganic salts of nickel, cadmium, chromium, beryllium, and arsenic but not salts of iron, titanium, tungstate, zinc, aluminum, and nickel sulfide amorphous. Furthermore, no transfor mation was observed in untreated controls. Lethality, mdi cated by a reduction in cloning efficiency, occurred wit...

In the present work third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of complex-oxides crystals, including absorption (NLA) and refraction (NLR) are performed by Z-scan technique. The non-centrosymmetric lithium niobate (LiNbO3) tantalite (LiTaO3) centrosymmetric cadmium tungstate (CdWO4), calcium (CaWO4) molybdate (CaMoO4) single crystals were used for experimental investigation. main parameters...
