CdTe量子点荧光猝灭法测定赤泥中痕量镍

Cd Te量子点具有荧光强度高和稳定性好的优点,应用Cd Te量子点荧光猝灭法分析基体复杂的样品,需要有效分离对测定干扰的金属元素和高效富集待测元素。本文以巯基乙酸(TGA)作稳定剂,采用水相合成法制备了巯基乙酸修饰的Cd Te量子点,基于镍离子在p H=10.0硼砂缓冲溶液中对Cd Te量子点的荧光具有较强猝灭作用,建立了一种测定赤泥中痕量镍的荧光光度方法。荧光猝灭反应的最佳实验条件为:Cd Te量子点的浓度3.0×10-4mol/L,反应温度为室温,反应时间10 min,在此条件下镍离子浓度在2.0×10-7~7.8×10-5mol/L范围内与Cd Te量子点的相对荧光强度呈良好的线性关系;方法检出限为1.5×10-7mol/L。本方法针对Fe3+、Co2+、Cu2+等主要基体金属元素允许量低的问题,采用25%的2-羟基-4-仲辛氧基二苯甲酮肟(N530)磺化煤油萃取回收滤液中的Ni2+,镍回收率达到99%以上;赤泥中痕量镍的测定结果与催化光度法相符,加标回收率为98.3%-104.2%。     

A Si/CdTe Compton Camera for gamma-ray lens experiment

Cadmium telluride (CdTe) and cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) have been regarded as promising semiconductor materials for hard X-ray and γ-ray detection. However, a considerable amount of charge loss in these detectors results in a reduced energy resolution. We have achieved a significant improvement in the spectral properties by forming the Schottky junction on the Te side of the CdTe wafer. With the further reduction of leakage current by an adoption of guard ring structure, we have demonstrated a CdTe pixel detector with high energy resolution and full charge collection capabilty. The detector has a pixel size of a few mm and a thickness of 0.5 $-$ 1 mm. We apply this high resolution detector to a new silicon and CdTe Compton Camera which features high angular resolution. We also describe a concept of the stack detector which consists of many thin CdTe layers and provides sufficient efficiency for hard X-rays and gamma-rays up to several hundred keV maintaining good energy resolution. A narrow-FOV Compton telescope can be realized by installing a Si/CdTe Compton Camera inside the deep well of an active shield. This configuration is very suitable as focal plane detector for future focusing gamma-ray missions.     

Balloon-Borne Hard X-Ray Spectrometer Using CdTe Detectors

Spectroscopic observation of solar flares in the hard X-ray energy range, particularly the 20 ∼ 100 keV region, is an invaluable tool for investigating the flare mechanism. This paper describes the design and performance of a balloon-borne hard X-ray spectrometer using CdTe detectors developed for solar flare observation. The instrument is a small balloon payload (gondola weight 70 kg) with sixteen 10×10×0.5 mm CdTe detectors, designed for a 1-day flight at 41 km altitude. It observes in an energy range of 20−120 keV and has an energy resolution of 3 keV at 60 keV. The second flight on 24 May 2002 succeeded in observing a class M1.1 flare.     

Polarisation measurements with a CdTe pixel array detector for Laue hard X-ray focusing telescopes

Polarimetry is an area of high energy astrophysics which is still relatively unexplored, even though it is recognized that this type of measurement could drastically increase our knowledge of the physics and geometry of high energy sources. For this reason, in the context of the design of a Gamma-Ray Imager based on new hard-X and soft gamma ray focusing optics for the next ESA Cosmic Vision call for proposals (Cosmic Vision 2015-2025), it is important that this capability should be implemented in the principal on-board instrumentation. For the particular case of wide band-pass Laue optics we propose a focal plane based on a thick pixelated CdTe detector operating with high efficiency between 60–600keV. The high segmentation of this type of detector (1–2mm pixel size) and the good energy resolution (a few keV FWHM at 500keV) will allow high sensitivity polarisation measurements (a few % for a 10mCrab source in 10⁶s) to be performed. We have evaluated the modulation Q factors and minimum detectable polarisation through the use of Monte Carlo simulations (based on the GEANT 4 toolkit) for on and off-axis sources with power law emission spectra using the point spread function of a Laue lens in a feasible configuration.
