Temperature Dependence of NQR Spectra and Phase Transitions in Alkali Metal Hexaiodozirconates and Hafnates (IV)

Abstract

Translation of the Bible or any other text unavoidably involves a determination about its meaning. There have been different views of meaning from ancient times up to the present, and a particularly Enlightenment and Modernist view is that the meaning of a text amounts to whatever the original author of the text intended it to be. This article analyzes the authorial-intent view of meaning in comparison with other models of literary and legal interpretation. Texts are anchors to interpretation but are subject to individualized interpretations. It is texts that are translated, not intentions. The challenge to the translator is to negotiate the meaning of a text and try to choose the most salient and appropriate interpretation as a basis for bringing the text to a new audience through translation.

Advanced Halide Scintillators: From the Bulk to Nano

“…Compositions with smaller alkali metal (i. e. Rb, K, or Na) on the A lattice site diverge from the cubic crystal structure and undergo distortion to the lower tetragonal or monoclinic symmetry. [ 214 ] Even though the luminescence of Cs 2 HfX 6 was investigated by Ackerman already in 1984, [ 215 ] this material family did not attain much attention of the scintillation community until its rediscovery by Burger et al in 2015. [ 8 ]…”

[8] Cs 2 HfCl 6 is prospective due to the combination of high Z eff , high LY of 54 000 ph MeV À1 , [8] and high proportionality resulting in excellent energy resolution of 3.3% (at 662 keV 137 Cs) [8] in an undoped crystal with low hygroscopicity.…”

Modeling of bulk modulus of A2BX6 cubic crystals (A = K, Cs, Rb, TI, NH4; B = tetravalent cation; X = F, Cl, Br, I) using semi-empirical model

“…Since last decade, a lot of experimental and theoretical works have been dedicated for the investigation of various physical properties of these materials [20][21][22][23][24]. Specially, Anti-fluorites have recently attracted the interest because of their stunning properties mentioned above.…”
