Journal ArticleDOI
Europium concentration effects on the scintillation properties of Cs4SrI6:Eu and Cs4CaI6:Eu single crystals for use in gamma spectroscopy
TL;DR: Recently discovered scintillators have shown promising properties for gamma-ray detection in homeland security applications, with Cs4SrI6:Eu and Cs 4CaI6 :Eu having promising properties as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of inch-sized KCa0.8Sr0.2I3:Eu2+ scintillating crystals and high performance for gamma-ray detection
TL;DR: In this article, a quaternary iodide KCa0.8Sr0.2I3:Eu2+ scintillator with 2.5% energy resolution at 662 keV in a 5 mm3 sample showed great potential for use in gamma-ray spectroscopy applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combinatorial Thin Film Synthesis of Cerium Doped Scintillation Materials in the Lutetium Oxide—Silicon Oxide System
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the use of a combinatorial thin film synthesis technique that is being used to explore new scintillator materials, which can be simultaneously powered to generate a wide composition space of binary, ternary, or quaternary material systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combinatorial thin film sputtering investigation of cerium concentration in Lu2SiO5 scintillators
TL;DR: In this article, a set of single crystal LSO samples with cerium concentrations of 0.0015, 0.095 and 0.078 were sputter deposited to investigate the optimum cerium concentration for emission intensity, which may be due to radiative (self-absorption) and non-radiative energy transfer.

Ternary metal halide scintillators
TL;DR: In this article, metal halide scintillators are described, including doped (e.g., europium-doped) ternary metal halides, such as those of the formulas A2BX4 and AB2X5, where B is an alkali metal and X is a halide.
