Scintillation (physics) - Wikipedia Scintillation is an example of luminescence, whereby light of a characteristic spectrum is emitted following the absorption of radiation
Ionospheric Scintillation - NOAA NWS Space Weather Prediction Center Ionospheric scintillation is the rapid modification of radio waves caused by small scale structures in the ionosphere Severe scintillation conditions can prevent a GPS receiver from locking on to the signal and can make it impossible to calculate a position
Scintillation (physics) explained In condensed matter physics, scintillation is the physical process where a material, called a scintillator, emits ultraviolet or visible light under excitation from high energy photon s (X-ray s or gamma ray s) or energetic particles (such as electron s, alpha particle s, neutron s, or ion s)
Scintillation - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Scintillation is defined as the process whereby certain crystalline inorganic or organic materials absorb energy from ionizing radiation, resulting in the emission of visible light flashes from the solid material
Stanford: Advanced Optical Ceramics Laboratory The physical phenomenon of scintillation is a complex process which can be divided into three main sub processes (fig 2): Conversion, energy transfer and luminescence
What is Scintillation - nuclear-power. com Scintillation is a flash of light produced in a transparent material by passing a particle (an electron, an alpha particle, an ion, or a high-energy photon) Scintillation occurs in the scintillator, a key part of a scintillation detector
A framework for scintillation in nanophotonics | Science When a high-energy particle collides with a material, the energy is transferred to atoms in the material, and light can be emitted This scintillation process is used in many detector applications ranging from medical imaging to high-energy particle physics
