Silver Activated Zinc Sulphide

[peter_jameson]

Hello All

I have Zinc Sulphide and 0.1M Silver Nitrate solution. Can anyone tell me the procedure to combine them to make Silver activated Zinc Sulphide for use as a scintillation phosphor?

I hope you are not trying to get someone else to do your homework for you ;-)

God,don't you know anything?

Thanks for the link jomifl,

I am trying to introduce silver atoms into the zinc sulphide crystal lattice in order to increase scintillation when it is bombarded with alpha particles. Having seen the clip, I might abandon my efforts and take apart an electroluminescent panel for its phosphor.

Regards

Glad you found it useful :-)

That's what I told the wife when she caught me watching internet porn with my pants down the other day. I think she bought it.

Ludwig, If she hadn't, you would've.

Well, Thank You, thetaliesin, ludwig and jomifl

Your comments and answers have made this boring old retired academic really laugh, and that doesn't half take some doing! :-)
