Inorganic perovskite wafers with good stability and adjustable sizes are promising in X-ray detection but the high synthetic temperature is a hindrance. Herein, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used to prepare the CsPbBr 3 micro-bricks powder at room temperature. The CsPbBr 3 powder has a cubic shape with few crystal defects, small charge trap density, and high crystallinity. A trace amount of DMSO attaches to the surface of the CsPbBr 3 micro-bricks via Pb-O bonding, forming the CsPbBr 3 -DMSO adduct. During hot isostatic processing, the released DMSO vapor merges the CsPbBr 3 micro-bricks, producing a compact and dense CsPbBr 3 wafer with minimized grain boundaries and excellent charge transport properties. The CsPbBr 3 wafer shows a large mobility-lifetime (μτ) product of 5.16 × 10 − 4 cm 2 ·V − 1 , high sensitivity of 14,430 μC·Gy air −1 ·cm −2 , low detection limit of 564 nGy air ·s −1 , as well as robust stability in X-ray detection. The results reveal a novel strategy with immense practical potential pertaining to high-contrast X-ray detection.

“…Testing and validation are critical steps in the manufacturing of nuclear components (Boring et al, 2015). Nondestructive testing techniques such as ultrasonic testing and x-ray inspection can be used to detect defects and ensure the quality of nuclear components (Casalta et al, 2003). Simulation and modeling can also be used to test the performance of nuclear components under different conditions, reducing the need for costly physical testing (Li et al, 2018).…”

As known, there always exist severely degradation problems in digital radiography. How we can extract necessary textures from degraded radiographic images is the post-processing key. Local binary pattern (LBP) is a well-known method, which is widely used in fast image texture extraction. However, for noisy images, LBP can’t work well due to its sensitivity to details. On the other hand, as one of the important shock filters developed in recent years, complex shock filter possesses excellent capabilities in textural image processing. Here, by combining complex shock filter with LBP, a novel fast and efficient method, C-LBP is presented for texture extraction of degraded radiographic images. Experimental results show that comparing with traditional LBP, C-LBP not only distinguishes between noise and details in radiographic images, but also extracts image textures efficiently and rapidly, which plays an important role in developing nondestructive detection technique by low-dose ray radiography.
