Despite over a century of research and progress, scintillation detectors remain a hot topic.
The performance of ionizing radiation detection devices has been significantly enhanced by …

Currently only Eu2+-based scintillators have approached the light yield needed to improve
the 2% energy resolution at 662 keV of LaBr3: Ce3+, Sr2+. Their major limitation, however …

Due to recent development in detector technology, photon-counting computed tomography
(PCCT) has become a rapidly emerging medical imaging technology. Current PCCT …

Small bandgap scintillators have gained significant attention in recent years. Especially
Cs4PbBr6 is an interesting material, mitigating the small Stokes shift-related problem of …

We investigated scintillation decay times at different excitation γ-ray energies for commercial
luminescent materials such as Ce: LaBr3, Eu: SrI2, Ce: LYSO [(Y, Lu) 2SiO5], and Ce: GAGG …

Abstract SrI 2: Eu 2+ and CaI 2: Eu 2+ are two of the brightest known scintillators, but they
both suffer from self-absorption. Their respective undoped isostructural compounds EuI 2 …

Zinc halides have attracted much interest because of their unique structures, non-toxicity
and low cost among lead-free halides. In this work, we studied the crystal structures and …

NaI is the most commonly used host lattice for scintillators, which makes it interesting to
further improve its scintillation properties. Many alternative activators have been tried …

Recent research activity on Sm 2+-doped compounds has significantly increased the
amount of available data on 4f 5 5d→ 4f 6 decay times. This enabled the systematic …

Abstract Sm-doped CaCl 2, SrCl 2, and BaCl 2 bulk crystals were synthesized using the
conventional vertical Bridgman method, and the photoluminescence, radioluminescence …
