Sr2Cu2TeO6Br2: honeycomb layers of copper(II) ions.

Single crystals of distrontium(II) dicopper(II) tellurium(VI) hexaoxide dibromide, Sr2Cu2TeO6Br2, were synthesized via solid state/gas phase reactions in sealed evacuated silica tubes. The building units are irregular SrO4Br3 polyhedra (a new type of coordination polyhedron around Sr(II)), CuO5 square pyramids and TeO6 octahedra. The CuO5 square pyramids and the TeO6 octahedra together form layers in the bc plane bridged by Sr atoms. The Cu atoms are arranged to form puckered honeycomb layers. The Te atom lies on an inversion centre.

MoCu3TeO7Cl2.0.5H2O.

Single crystals of molybdenum(VI) tricopper(II) tellurium(IV) heptaoxide dichloride hemihydrate, MoCu3TeO7Cl2.0.5H2O, were synthesized via a transport reaction in sealed evacuated silica tubes. All atoms occupy general positions within the triclinic (P1) unit cell. The building units are irregular CuO4Cl and CuO3Cl2 square pyramids, distorted TeO3+1E trigonal bipyramids (E is the lone pair of TeIV) and irregular MoO5 pyramids. The TeO3+1E, CuO4Cl and CuO3Cl2 polyhedra form (110) layers bridged by Mo atoms. The water molecules are located in [100] channels.

Ca2CuTe4O10Cl2, a new synthetic tellurium(IV) oxochloride.

Single crystals of dicalcium copper tetratellurium decaoxide dichloride, Ca2CuTe4O10Cl2, were synthesized via a transport reaction in sealed evacuated quartz glass tubes. The building units of the structure are irregular CaO7 polyhedra, centrosymmetric CuO4Cl2 octahedra and two crystallographically distinct TeO4E distorted bipyramids (E being the 5s2 lone pair of TeIV). The TeO4E and CuO4Cl2 polyhedra together form planes that are connected by the Ca atoms. The CuO4Cl2 octahedra are isolated from each other by the other building units.

[Full-field digital mammography with amorphous silicon-based flat- panel detector: physical imaging characteristics and signal detection].

The physical characteristics of a clinical amorphous silicon-based flat-panel imager for full-field digital mammography were investigated. Pre-sampled modulation transfer functions (MTF) were measured by using a slit method. Noise power spectra were determined for different input exposures by fast Fourier transform. The MTFs of full-field digital mammography systems showed significantly higher values than those of the computed radiography (CR) system. The full-field digital mammography system showed a lower noise level than that of the CR system under the same exposure conditions. Contrast detail analysis has been performed to compare the detectability of the full-field digital mammography system with that of the screen-film (Min-R 2000/Min-R 2000) system. The average contrast-detail curves of digital and film images were obtained from the results of observation. Image quality figures (IQF) were also calculated from the individual observer performance tests. The results indicated that the digital contrast-detail curves and IQF, on average, are superior to those of the screen-film system.
