Patents by Inventor James A. Kolopus

James A. Kolopus has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Divalent-ion-doped single crystal alkali halide scintillators
    Patent number: 10125312
    Abstract: A single crystal composition includes an alkali halide crystal doped with a divalent element in the amount of 0.5 to 5 weight percent, the doped crystal having an optical transmission of at least 45% at at least one wavelength. An alkali halide doped with at least one of europium and ytterbium is particularly useful as a scintillator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 6, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2018
    Assignee: UT-BATTELLE, LLC
    Inventors: Lynn A. Boatner, James A. Kolopus

  • Metal-organic scintillator crystals for X-ray, gamma ray, and neutron detection
    Patent number: 8089047
    Abstract: New metal-organic materials are useful as scintillators and have the chemical formula LX3(CH3OH)4 where L is Y, Sc, or a lanthanide element, and X is a halogen element. An example of the scintillator materials is CeCl3(CH3OH)4.
