The PL xerogel and powder samples were prepared by solgel process. The emission spectra of all samples showed two broad bands peaking at 590 nm and 620 nm under UV-Vis excitation. But the relative intensity of red PL (620 nm) was much greater than that of green PL (590 nm) of the same sample, that s to say, the red color was the main luminescence. With heat-treatment temperature increase, the two kinds of colors PL intensity decreased, and both the red and green PL intensity of the xerogel samples was much greater than those of powder samples respectively. The XRD patterns revealed that Eu^3+ ions were successfully incorporated in ZnO crystals in xerogel samples. When heat-treatment temperature reached 350 ℃, the Eu^3+ began to separate out of the ZnO crystals and Eu2O3 crystals came into being. When the powder sample was subjected to UV-Vis excitation, the energy transfered from the host ZnO emission to Eu^3+ became weaker than the xerogel sample.展开更多

Therefore, measurements of 222 Rn and 220 Rn concentrations should be carried out there. This paper introduces a large size collector of radon progeny and its applications. The collector is a sheet of polyvinyl chloride fiber with electrostatics of (-500 V)-(-700 V). Its size (60 mm in diameter) is larger than those of others (26 mm in diameter) that work with the same principle. The collector is more effective to adsorb radon progeny than most of others. The equipment of ZnS(Ag) Scintillation Counting System is available for large size collectors to detect radon progeny. Therefore, its sensitivity of measurement is higher than that of others. According to the different half lives of radon progeny, and based on both theory and experiments, a formula for discrimination and calculation of 222 Rn and 220 Rn concentrations is deduced. The 222 Rn and 220 Rn concentrations were surveyed with electrostatic collectors of radon progeny on the campus of commercial school and some other areas in Hainan, southern China. Neither 222 Rn nor 220 Rn concentration was found significantly high. However, several faults underground were delineated. The collector is also used to study radon transportation. Results indicate that radon changes regularly with date when it has transported for a certain distance. Velocities of radon migration in the four media are quite different. Radon migrates more quickly in vertical tube than in the horizontal tube.展开更多
