    Notes: Carbon-coated gadolinum and holmium carbide nanocrystallites have been generated using a modification of the Huffman-Krätschmer carbon arc process. Bulk amounts of these particles were isolated from the other by-products using a magnetic field gradient. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of 10–50 nm diameter crystallites coated with numerous graphitic layers. The nanocrystallite phases were identified as Gd2C3 and Ho2C3, respectively, by x-ray and electron diffraction. Magnetization measurements were performed using a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer between ±5 T at temperatures ranging from 4 to 200 K. The magnetization curves were shown to scale as a function of H/T. The RE3+ sites in RE2C3 have C3 site symmetry. For Gd2C3 the universal curve was fit with a Brillouin function consistent with the Gd3+ free-ion ground-state values of J=7/2 and g=2. The 5I8 Ho3+ free-ion ground state is split, presumably due to a C3 symmetry crystal field. Consequently, for Ho2C3 the Ho3+ free-ion parameters could not be used to fit the experimental data. Empirical fits to the Brillouin function yield a reduced moment of 7.5μB, compared to the free-ion value of 10.6μB. A similarly reduced moment was observed in holmium-containing endohedral fullerenes.

    Notes: In this article we show that the behavior of new devices fabricated from horizontal Bridgman CdZnTe reported recently can be explained by the same conventional electrostatics arguments used to analyze detectors made from high pressure Bridgman material, and no qualitative differences in the material or contacts are necessary to explain the behavior of these new devices. Our work is an extension of the results obtained with a similar device geometry fabricated on high pressure Bridgman material. In addition we discuss the possibility of extending the design concepts learned here to fabricate large volume spectrometers based on a pixel array design. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract We report on the design, construction, and testing of a gamma-ray imaging system with spectroscopic capabilities. The imaging system consists of an orthogonal strip detector made from either HgI2 or CdZnTe crystals. The detectors utilize an 8×8 orthogonal strip configuration with 64 effective pixels. Both HgI2 or CdZnTe detectors are 1 cm2 devices with a strip pitch of approximately 1.2 mm (producing pixels of 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm). The readout electronics consist of parallel channels of preamplifier, shaping amplifier, discriminators, and peak sensing ADC. The preamplifiers are configured in hybrid technology, and the rest of the electronics are implemented in NIM and CAMAC with control via a Power Macintosh computer. The software used to readout the instrument is capable of performing intensity measurements as well as spectroscopy on all 64 pixels of the device. We report on the performance of the system imaging gamma-rays in the 20–500 keV energy range and using a pin-hole collimator to form the image.
