Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a scintillator responding to high counting rate sustaining high-speed and high detection efficiency of BaF2 and to provide a radiation detection device with high time resolution by using the scintillator. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A specified amount of rare earth element (Eu) is doped into BaF2 to reduce long decay lifetime component (600 to 620 nm), leaving fast decaying component (0.6 to 0.8 ns) of BaF2 luminescence unchanged. The present invention is a high counting rate scintillator for detecting radiation comprising BaF2 doped with rare earth elements (Eu), wherein the doping amount is in the range of 0.02 to 1.0 mol %.

Abstract: This invention is a positron emission tomography (PET) device comprising as a scintillator a perovskite organic/inorganic hybrid compound selected from the group represented by the general formulae: (R1—NR113)2MX4 or (R2—NR12)2MX4, (NR133—R3—NR133)MX4, or (NR142?R4?NR142)MX4, or AMX3. When used as a scintillator, the perovskite organic/inorganic hybrid compound emits visible light with a very fast (subnanosecond order) response, allowing for improved resolution and time-of-flight PET methods.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method that allows the heat flux distribution on an object surface to be measured even when the heat flux is an unsteady or short-duration phenomenon, and that does not depend on the material of the object; and to provide a system for measuring the heat flux distribution on an object surface with the aid of this method. In the method for measuring the heat flux on an object surface in accordance with the present invention, the emission intensity of a temperature-sensitive paint that varies with the temperature of the object surface is chronologically captured and sensed as video information at a high frame rate, an image of the temperature distribution on the object surface is obtained based on characteristics between the emission intensity and temperature calibration, and the heat flux in each domain is calculated by the Cook and Feldermann method.

Abstract: The present invention provides a temperature sensitive paint for low-temperature use which shows durability at low temperatures, has a high light emission intensity, and makes it possible to perform precise temperature measurements of surface temperature fields by applying the paint to the surface of an object and measuring the light emission even in cases where the measurement distance is long in, for example, a large cryogenic wind tunnel or the like. The temperature sensitive paint for low-temperature use contains a ruthenium complex having a high light emission intensity as a temperature sensitive luminophore, a urethane type polymer as a binder, and an alcohol organic solvent as a solvent. Use of an alcohol organic solvent makes it possible to dissolve a temperature sensitive luminophore at a high solubility and to increase the light emission intensity by raising the temperature sensitive luminophore concentration in the coating film, so that more precise temperature measurements can be performed.

Abstract: An oxygen-quenching luminophore constituting part of a pressure-sensitive luminophore is directly bonded by a covalent bond to an organic polymer compound having trimethylsilyl groups, so the luminophore molecules are retained in the polymer and free aggregation is inhibited when the organic solvent is evaporated. It is therefore possible to prevent light response from being reduced by the aggregation of the luminophore molecules during evaporation of the organic solvent, which is a drawback of forming films from conventional mixed-type pressure-sensitive paints. A thin-film sensor with uniform characteristics can be formed by spraying or application from a pressure-sensitive paint obtained by mixing a functional polymer with a solvent. In addition, a coating solution that has high reproducibility and is suitable for spraying or application can be obtained merely by dissolving the functional polymer as a single component in a suitable solvent.

Abstract: As the response speed of the scintillator used in the prior art positron emission tomography device was extremely limited, there was a limit to the resolution of the positron emission tomography device. To resolve this problem, it was considered that the scintillator should have a response speed of approx. 10−10 seconds (0.1 ns). If such a scintillator can be manufactured, a time-of-flight PET can be realized.

Abstract: Amines having an unsaturated bond can be introduced into the organic layer of organic-inorganic laminar perovskite compounds comprising a metal halide and an organic amine, and the organic layer can be polymerized by applying external energy such as by irradiating with UV light or radiation. In this way, the quantum well structure is stabilized. The organic-inorganic laminar perovskite polymer compound is produced by cross-linking unsaturated bonds of an organic-inorganic laminar perovskite compound represented by the general formula (RNH3)2MX4 (in the formula, R is a hydrocarbon group having an unsaturated bond, X is a halogen or mixture of same, M is Group IVa metal, Eu, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn or Pd). R is represented by CH3(CH2)nC≡C—C≡CCH2 (n=2-14). It is preferred that M is Pb, and X is a bromine atom.
