摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for the preparation of a substrate having an array of diverse materials, the materials being deposited at spatially addressable, predefined regions. In particular, potential masking systems are provided which generate spatially and temporally varying electric, magnetic and chemical potentials across a substrate. These varying potentials are used to deposit components of source materials onto a substrate in a combinatorial fashion, thus creating arrays of materials that differ slightly in chemical composition, concentration, stoichiometry, and/or thickness. The diverse materials may be organized in discrete arrays, or they may vary continuously over the surface of the substrate. The shape of the potential allows the determination of the composition of the resulting materials at all locations on the substrate.

Storage phosphors comprising an activated garnet host comprising oxygen and combined elements satisfying the relationship Ln3+&dgr;M5−&dgr;:cQ wherein Ln is an element selected from the group consisting of Gd, La, Lu, Y and combinations thereof; M is an element selected from the group consisting of Al, Ga, Sc, Fe and combinations thereof; Q is selected from the group consisting of terbium, samarium, thallium, indium, europium, ytterbium and combinations thereof; &dgr; is greater lo than or equal to minus 0.5, but less than or equal to 0.5 (i.e., −0.5≦&dgr;≦0.5); and c is an amount sufficient to produce a phosphor that exhibits a higher luminescence emission intensity than said phosphor absent Q when, after first being exposed to penetrating radiaton, the phosphor is stimulated by light of a wavelength ranging from 600 to 1200 nm or thermally. These phosphors can store and subsequently emit light based on several different types of irradiation, including x-ray, ultraviolet, electrons, alpha or beta particles or neutrons.

This invention relates to a method to characterize an array of polymeric materials comprising: depositing unsilanizable material onto a silanizable substrate in at least 10 regions, thereafter contacting the substrate with an organosilane agent thereby silanizing the substrate but not the unsilanizable material in said regions, optionally, partially or completely removing the unsilanizable material, depositing at least 10 polymeric materials onto said regions, and characterizing the materials. This invention also relates to method for forming an array of polymeric materials to be characterized onto a substrate comprising: (a) selecting ten or more polymers, (b) dissolving or suspending each polymer in a separate liquid, and (c) depositing a uniform amount of each of the ten or more polymer containing liquids onto a substrate in individual hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic regions. Likewise this invention also relates to an array of polymeric materials for use in characterization, comprising: (a) a substrate having multiple regions on the substrate that are not coated with an organosilane and wherein the uncoated regions have a boarder of an organosilane agent coated on the substrate, and (b) a polymer deposited on the regions not coated with an organosilane agent.
