Oxysulfides, as one type of important mixed-anion inorganic functional systems, possess the
coexistence of two different anions (O 2− and S 2−) in their crystal structures and could be …

This paper reports on the structural, optical and photometric characterization of an
Eu3+/Dy3+ doped yttrium oxysulfide phosphor (Y2O2S: Eu3+/Dy3+) for near white emission …

Cold neutron has a strong ability to penetrate metal materials and identify light elements,
making it an ideal nondestructive testing technique for detecting cracks, bubbles, or other …

X-ray and optical technologies are the two central pillars for human imaging and therapy.
The strengths of x-rays are deep tissue penetration, effective cytotoxicity, and the ability to …

Abstract LaScO3: xBi3+, yTb3+, zEu3+ (x= 0− 0.04, y= 0− 0.05, z= 0− 0.05) phosphors were
prepared via high‐temperature solid‐state reaction. Phase identification and crystal …

Low phonon tantalate-based phosphors with a layer structure are considered to have
excellent upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity, which could be reduced due to the …

Thin single crystalline film (SCF) scintillators are essential when performing high resolution
X-ray imaging with micron to sub-micron resolution. Especially when high energy X-rays are …

In this work, the microwave-assisted solid-state (MASS) synthesis is reported as a rapid, cost-
effective and environmental-friendly way to prepare Gd 2 O 2 S: Tb 3+ X-ray scintillation …

Luminescence thermometry using sharp line emission of lanthanide ions has become an
active area of research as it offers the advantages of remote temperature sensing with high …
