Synthesized recombination-type zinc sulfide phosphors used in solid-state radioluminescent light sources (SSRLS) are the object of the research. In the course of the study, experimental data were obtained for the first time on the effect of the amount of the incorporated activator on the brightness-spectral characteristics of radioluminescence upon excitation by β-radiation of tritium. Data were obtained on the changes in the radioluminescence parameters under various synthesis conditions, phase composition and electron-beam modification of the crystal structure of the initial phosphors. The results of the work make it possible to find the best light compositions for the use in solid-state radioluminescent light sources

Abstract ZnS:Cu radioluminescent phosphors find their applications in medicine nondestructive testing, safety control and can be used as a part of the solid-state radioluminescent light sources (SRLS). This devices are very promising technology due to their independence longevity and safety compared to the gas-filled RLS. Because of the fact that tritium (the most popular radioisotope for RLS) has a very short range in substances, the improving the operating performances of radiophosphors is a crucial task for SRLS. In our study we used the electron-beam treatment to increase the brightness of radioluminescence of ZnS:Cu phosphors. It was found that bombardment of the phosphors initial charge with electrons of 900 kEv energy improves the brightness of radioluminescence by 15 – 20%. Double modifying of the initial charge and ready phosphor cause the 80% increase of brightness. The effect of electron-beam treatment on the phase content and the surface properties was studied at varying the content of activator (Cu) in the range of 0 – 0.6 % mass. As a result the model describing structure of the acid-base sites on the ZnS:Cu phosphor surface was suggested.

Radioluminescence technologies are at the front line of the optic and electronic studies. Effective, self-contained and safe radioluminescent light sources can find their application in space industry, in medicine and in military technologies. The question of the performance improvement of the solid-state radioluminescent light sources (SRLS) without raising the included activity of working radionuclide can be solved by upgrading the phosphor crystalline structure. The electron-beam treatment for zinc-sulphide phosphors initial batch has been studied in a wide range of concentrations of the activating agent (Cu) for improving the radioluminescent performances of the phosphors, for creating the structural defects that form centers of luminescence. The changes of the phase composition were investigated under different synthesis conditions. It is revealed that electron-beam treatment of the initial batch leads to the growth of the wurtzite phase content in zinc-sulphide phosphors synthesized below the phase transition temperature. The changes of the phase content promote the spectral redistribution under the tritium beta-excitation. It is obviously the reflection of the fact of «green» luminescence centers rearrangement between the volume of the crystal and its surface. The correlations between structural configuration and performances of ionizing luminescence were found. Electron beam treatment gave the 20% increase of brightness of the radioluminescence. The achieved enhancement of luminescence performances allows the development of advanced tight-packed SRLS with minimal radioactivity and high energy-light conversion.

The crystal structure of cis-chlorobis(triethylphosphine)-1,10-phenanthrolineplatinum(II) fluoroborate has been determined and refined to an R-value of 0.051. The space group is P21/c and the cell dimensions are a = 0.9215(2), b = 1.1991(3), c = 2.6832(6) nm, β = 99.38(3)°, with 4 molecules per unit cell. The interatomic distances to Pt are: Pt—N(1), 213.7(19); Pt—N(2), 284.3(20); Pt—P(1), 223.9(7); Pt—P(2), 224.1(6); Pt—Cl, 236.1(6) pm.The coordination number and geometry is discussed in terms of 5-coordinate tetragonal pyramidal and 4-coordinate square planar models, the latter being regarded as the more acceptable.Monodentate o-phenanthroline is thus observed for the first time in the solid state. The structure of the complex in solution is discussed with the aid of conductance and nuclear magnetic resonance results which suggest the possibility of a novel fluxional system.

The article observes different methods of coating the phosphor screens on the tritiated titanium matrices for creating the solid-state radioluminescent light sources (SRLS). Technology of SRLS is alternative to the existing technology of the gas-filled radioluminescent light sources. The main idea of SRLS is in bonding the working isotope (tritium) in the solid matrix and combining it with the phosphor. The key problem of SRLS is to provide the closest contact between the tritiated carrier matrix and phosphor screen. The basic requirements for the phosphor screens for SRLS would be the strength of fixation on the plate, uniformity and radiological and thermal stability. There have been made a comparison of various techniques of coating and fixing the phosphor screens by their effect on spectral and brightness characteristics of SRLS. The improved sol-gel technique of suspended sedimentation of phosphor screen from the potassium water glass binder solution was developed. The composition of the solution was established experimentally and we get the strong and uniform experimental prototypes of the glass coated phosphor screens of various thickness. The developed technology allows to deposit the strong and uniform phosphor coatings without using any additional dispersing agents. Screen thickness regulates by the amount of phosphor in the suspension. Also the optimal thickness of the phosphor screen, giving the maximum luminescence intensity was determined. The two laboratory prototypes of solid-state radioluminescent light sources were manufactured by coating the phosphor directly on the tritium β-source.

K3BiO3 and Rb3BiO3 have been synthesized for the first time by solid state reactions of the respective binary compounds. K3BiO3 was obtained from Bi2O3 and K2O at 550 °C, Rb3BiO3 from Bi2O3 and Rb2O at 650 °C. The compounds were structurally examined by single-crystal X -ray investigations (K3BiO3: I 4̅ 3 m, a = 1070.15(2) pm, Z = 8; Rb3BiO3: P 21 3, a = 875.48(2) pm, Z = 4). The structures reveal “isolated” BiO33- groups. While K3BiO3 is isostructural to Na3BiO3, Rb3BiO3 has the same crystal structure as Cs3BiO3.

The phenomenon of diastereotopic group recognition has been structurally documented for the first time. A diphenylphosphine-modified β-cyclodextrin having two diastereotopic phenyl groups in close vicinity to the inner cavity of this host was prepared. The crystal structure analysis reveals selective intramolecular complexation of one of the two diastereotopic phenyl groups.Key words: supramolecular chemistry, stereotopic group recognition, cyclodextrins, intramolecular complexation.
