X-ray generation induced by visible lasers in ZnS aqueous suspensions

  • Published:
Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

We present experimental results on the interaction of pulsed laser radiation with ZnS-quantum-dot aqueous suspensions. We detect luminescence in the blue spectral range as well as narrow beams of X-ray radiation. We describe the experimental conditions of X-ray generation and discuss the triboluminescence as a possible mechanism of the emission.
