β¦ Synopsis
We measured the detection efficiency and spatial resolution of multiwire porous dielectric detectors (MWPDDs). Two cases were tested: a CsI-filled MWPDD exposed to a 5.9 keV X-ray flux of 650 /cm 2 s; and a CsI-filled MWPDD exposed to an a-particle flux of 10 4 cm 2 s. In both cases, the detector operated over several days with no reduction in efficiency or spatial resolution; in fact, these improved slightly with time.

High-resolution electron microscopy has been used to characterize the platinum particles supported on Ti02 or ZnO. After reduction at elevated temperatures, the metallic particles display a regular, faceted shape, and several superstructures, Pt3 Ti(C), Pt3 Ti(H), PtTi, and PtZn, have been found. Th
