Amplified spontaneous emission from single CdS nanoribbon with low symmetric cross sections.
Summary of "Amplified spontaneous emission from single CdS nanoribbon with low symmetric cross sections."
CdS nanoribbons with various cross sections offer the opportunity to deeply understand the interaction between optical cavity and spontaneous emission. Herein, long tapered nanoribbons with the cross sections gradually changing were synthesized by a simple physical vapour deposition method. Morphology dependent micro-region photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy is employed to show Purcell effect along different low symmetry cross sections. Spikes on the PL spectra reveal that local density of optical modes increases when the mode match happens between optical cavity and spontaneous emission. Bound exciton complex related amplified spontaneous emission is observed in a single CdS nanoribbon with well-defined elliptical cross sections and optimized width/thickness ratio ∼1.45. Polarized Raman and TEM confirmed that the nanoribbon with the elliptical cross section adopts the [0002] growth direction with good quality. The results suggest that the cross section resonant cavity would be of importance for both fundamental and practical application of cavity quantum electrodynamics in CdS nanoribbon.

Positron-emission Tomography
An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower.
Tomography, Emission-computed, Single-photon
A method of computed tomography that uses radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy. The camera is rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the patient to capture images at multiple positions along the arc. The computer is then used to reconstruct the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the 3-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the organ. The advantages of SPECT are that it can be used to observe biochemical and physiological processes as well as size and volume of the organ. The disadvantage is that, unlike positron-emission tomography where the positron-electron annihilation results in the emission of 2 photons at 180 degrees from each other, SPECT requires physical collimation to line up the photons, which results in the loss of many available photons and hence degrades the image.

Radioactivity
The spontaneous transformation of a nuclide into one or more different nuclides, accompanied by either the emission of particles from the nucleus, nuclear capture or ejection of orbital electrons, or fission. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed)
