Development of ZnO-based nanorod arrays as scintillator layer for ultrafast and high-spatial-resolution X-ray imaging
Abstract:
Under excitation of high-energy and low-flux density of X-ray beam, a 1-μm system spatial resolution was initially achieved by using an 18-μm thickness ZnO nanorod array as the scintillator layer in X-ray imaging beamline at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The decay time measurements indicated the ultraviolet and visible emissions of the arrays were subnanosecond and nanosecond, respectively. Through hydrogen annealing treatment, the ultraviolet luminescence was intensively enhanced and the visible luminescence was remarkably suppressed simultaneously. In conclusion, it can be determined that the ZnO-based nanorod arrays are the decent candidates for applications in ultrafast and high-spatial-resolution X-ray imaging systems.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Stratum Basale
Stratum basale, also known as the stratum germinativum, is the deepest layer of the epidermis. It is composed of a single layer of actively dividing cells called basal cells or basal keratinocytes. These cells constantly undergo cell division to replenish the upper layers of the epidermis. Additionally, melanocytes, which...
