Abstract Neutron applications and detection are of paramount importance in industry, medicine, scientific research, homeland security, production extreme UV optics so on. requires a converter element that, as result its interaction with neutrons, produces reaction products (mainly charged particles) whose can be correlated the neutron flux. Reduced availability increased cost most used element, 3 He, have triggered research efforts for alternative materials, proper deposition methods new...
The shortage of 3He, a crucial element widely used as neutron converter in detection applications, has sparked significant research efforts aimed at finding alternative materials, developing appropriate deposition methods, and exploring new detector architectures. This issue required the exploration novel approaches to address challenges faced detection. Among available conversion 10B emerged one most promising choices due its high neutron-capture cross-section relatively Q value. In our...
Abstract All-inorganic perovskites are widely investigated as a new generation of materials thanks to their superior optoelectronic properties and better stability than hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites. In particular, cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr 3 ) exhibits advantageous for numerous applicative fields (photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, lasing, field effect transistors, ionizing radiation detectors). The performance CsPbBr being critically dependent on the deposition...
Although the field of solar cells is most popular application perovskite materials, their use in radiation detection applications emerging. The success perovskites as detectors rests partly on same material properties that have led to successful optoelectronics applications, meaning other specific properties, like large stopping power, high mobility lifetime product, fast response, and bulk resistance, play a role. In this respect, inorganic are attracting lot attention scintillator...
Boron nanoparticles (BNPs) are attractive nanomaterials for their employment in many applications, such as neutron detection, boron capture therapy, proton therapy and nuclear fusion. Depending on the specific application, 10B or 11B isotopes can be used. Nevertheless, there significant challenges developing suitable BNPs using both conventional chemical synthesis routes dry fabrication techniques. In this study we report directly synthetised water by pulsed Laser Ablation Liquid (PLAL)....
Among all the inorganic perovskites, cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) has gained significant interest due to its stability and remarkable optoelectronic/photoluminescence properties. Because of influence deposition techniques, experimental conditions that play a key role in each need be addressed. In this context, we present CsPbBr3 films grown by pulsed laser (PLD) discuss impact oxygen stemming from their growth under reduced vacuum, i.e., as background atmosphere, rather than post-growth...
Abstract Metal halide perovskite materials have received significant attention in recent years due to their promising properties and potential applications, particularly use as scintillator detectors, which is rapidly emerging advantages such low costs, fast response, high quantum yield, strong absorption, scalability, flexibility, emission wavelength tunability. Given the effectiveness of perovskites α particle detectors 10 B a neutron converter, this paper converting layer was coupled with...
