Solid-state electrophotography with Al2O3.
Solid-state thermocurrent and radioconductivity (electrical conductivity during irradiation) experiments are described with attention to the feasibility of using ionic solids for radiographic imaging. The radioconductivity varies with temperature giving rise to temperature windows of potential usefulness. The electrophotographic image is formed at atmospheric pressure using Al2O3, collecting the charge on mylar film. Development is by the power cloud technique. A transparency, which can be viewed as a conventional radiographic image, is easily produced. A successful transfer image, free of electric discharge artifact, was produced.
