This invention provides novel cadmium tungstate scintillator materials that show improved radiation hardness. In particular, it was discovered that doping of cadmium tungstate (CdWO) with trivalent metal ions or monovalent metal ions is particularly effective in improving radiation hardness of the scintillator material.

A camera-based x-ray digital image detectors can contain an assembly of a scintillator screen, a wide-angle optical lens or fisheye lens, and a digital image sensor. Images formed by x-ray radiation on the scintillator screen can be projected onto a much smaller area image sensor through a fisheye or super-wide-angle optical lens, hence forming a highly distorted image thereon. Transparent lead-contained glasses or plastics can be utilized to shield image sensor from x-ray damage. Imaging distortion and light falloff caused by the lens optics can be corrected by software algorithms. Sub-millimeter resolution may be achieved with reduced design complexity and substantially lower manufacturing costs.

Novel green phosphors are disclosed having the comprise silicate-based compounds having the formula (Sr,A)(Si,A)(O,A):Eu, where Ais at least one divalent cation (a 2+ ion) including Mg, Ca, Ba, or Zn, or a combination of 1+ and 3+ cations; Ais a 3+, 4+, or 5+ cation, including at least one of B, Al, Ga, C, Ge, N, and P; Ais a 1−, 2−, or 3− anion, including F, Cl, Br, and S; and x is any value between 1. 5 and 2. 5, both inclusive. The formula is written to indicate that the Acation replaces Sr; the Acation replaces Si, and the Aanion replaces O. These green phosphors are configured to emit visible light having a peak emission wavelength greater than about 480 nm. They have applications in green illumination systems, red-green-blue backlighting systems, white LEDs, and plasma display panels (PDPs).

Novel metal oxide compositions are disclosed. These ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic compositions have resitivities that vary between those of semiconducting and insulating materials, and they further exhibit Curie temperatures greater than room temperature (i. e. , greater than 300 K). They are perovskite structures with the general chemical formulas (AM)BO, (AM)(B′B″)Oor A(BM)O, where A can be a 1, 2 and 3 charged ion; B can be a 5, 4, 3 charged ion; B′ and B″ can be 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 charged ion. M is a magnetic ion dopant. X-ray diffraction patterns are presented for exemplary compositions.
