To explore micro-or nanoscintillator with a controllable architecture, a novel facile hydrothermal method easy for commercial run was used to synthesize pure and Ce doped β-NaLuF4 microcrystals at 453K. The morphology of uniform hexagonal prism with 3.3μm in diameter and 1.4 μm in thickness, respectively, is presented by the results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns show the products are both pure hexagonal phase. Different from the undoped product without any irradiation, the Ce doped product has given strong broad band emission attributed to 5d4f transition of Ce3+, which can be potentially used as scintillator for biomedical imaging and detectors for high energy such as X-ray and γray. This synthetical strategy extends the understanding about nanomaterial chemistry and can be also useful for other systems such as fluorides, oxides and sulfides.

AbstractMatching the broad-band emission of active galaxies with the predictions of theoretical models can be used to derive constraints on the properties of the emitting region and to probe the physical processes involved. AP Librae is the third low frequency peaked BL Lac (LBL) detected at very high energy (VHE, E>100GeV) by an Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope; most VHE BL Lacs (34 out of 39) belong to the high-frequency and intermediate-frequency BL Lac classes (HBL and IBL). LBL objects tend to have a higher luminosity with lower peak frequencies than HBLs or IBLs. The characterization of their time-averaged spectral energy distribution is challenging for emission models such as synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) models.

In this paper, a Re(I) complex [Re(CO)3(E2)Cl], where E2 = 2-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline(E2), was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR successfully. Experimental data confirm that Re(I) complex [Re(CO)3(E2)Cl] is high-energy-emitting one. The broad band emission upon excitation at λ = 400 nm with the emission maximum locates at λ = 581 nm in solid state and 614nm in CH2Cl2 solution were observed.

ABSTRACT PSR J2032+4127 is only the second known gamma-ray binary where it is confirmed that a young radio pulsar is in orbit around a Be-star. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the mass outflow from the companion leads to broad-band emission from radio up to TeV energies. In this paper we present results of optical monitoring of the 2017 periastron passage with the Nordic Optical Telescope. These observations are complemented by X-ray (Swift/XRT, NuSTAR) and GeV (Fermi/LAT) monitoring. Joint analysis of the evolution of the parameters of the H α line and the broad-band (X-ray to TeV) spectral shape allows us to propose a model linking the observed emission to the interaction of the pulsar and Be-star winds under the assumption of the inclined disc geometry. Our model allows the observed flux and spectral evolution of the system to be explained in a self-consistent way.

ABSTRACT Late activity of the central engine is often invoked in order to explain the flares observed in the early X-ray afterglow of gamma-ray bursts, either in the form of an active neutron star remnant or (fall-back) accretion on to a black hole. However, these scenarios are not always plausible, in particular when flares are delayed to very late times after the burst. Recently, a new scenario was proposed that suggests X-ray flares can be the result of the passing of a long-lived reverse shock through a stratified ejecta, with the advantage that it does not require late-time engine activity. In this work, we numerically demonstrate this scenario to be physically plausible, by performing one-dimensional simulations of ejecta dynamics and emission using our novel moving-mesh relativistic hydrodynamics code. Improved efficiency and precision over previous work enables the exploration of a broader range of set-ups. We can introduce a more physically realistic description of the circumburst medium mass density. We can also locally trace the cooling of electrons when computing the broad-band emission from these set-ups. We show that the synchrotron cooling time-scale can dominate the flare decay time if the stratification in the ejecta is constrained to a localized angular region inside the jet, with size corresponding to the relativistic causal connection angle, and that it corresponds to values reported in observations. We demonstrate that this scenario can produce a large range of observed flare times, suggesting a connection between flares and initial ejection dynamics rather than with late-time remnant activity.

AbstractWe demonstrate that unresolved X-ray emission from the bulge of M31 is composed of at least three different components: (i) Broad-band emission from a large number of faint sources – mainly accreting white dwarfs and active binaries, associated with the old stellar population, similar to the Galactic Ridge X-ray emission of the Milky Way. (ii) Soft emission from ionized gas with temperature of about ~ 300 eV and mass of ~ 4 × 106 M⊙. The gas distribution is significantly elongated along the minor axis of the galaxy suggesting that it may be outflowing in the direction perpendicular to the galactic disk. The shadows cast on the gas by spiral arms and the 10-kpc star-forming ring confirm large off-plane extent of the gas. (iii) Hard unresolved emission from spiral arms, most likely associated with protostars and young stellar objects located in the star-forming regions.

Ultra-long, single crystal, Eu-doped α-Si3N4 nanowires were prepared by a simple approach involving nitriding Eu-doped cryomilled nanocrystalline Si powder in NH3 flow at 1350 °C for 4 h. Phases, chemical composition and microcosmic feature of cryomilled powders and as-prepared nanowires were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The results suggested that Eu was successfully introduced into Si lattice after the cryomilling process and then entered into the lattice of α-Si3N4 during the nitridation process. The as-synthesized Eu-doped α-Si3N4 nanowires had highly uniform dimension with 20~30 nm in diameter and ~100 μm in length. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of as-synthesized nanowires showed a broad band emission center at 570 nm which was attributed to the transition from 4f65d to 4f7 in Eu2+. The transition from Eu3+ to Eu2+ during nitridation process was tested by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

In this paper, a new CuI complex containing the bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether and 7,10-Dimethyl Pyrazino [2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline have been syntheized and characterized by 1H NMR successfully. Experimental data confirm that Complex [Cu(dppl)(DPEphos)](PF6) is high-energy-emitting one. The broad band emission upon excitation at λ = 420 nm with the emission maximum locates at λ = 577 nm was observed. The introduction of DPEphos system leads to red shift of emissive about 11 nm than complex [Cu(dppl)2](PF6). This makes them potential candidates as cheap emitting materials.
