TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model to describe the carrier dynamics to fit the light yield versus electron energy, which was adapted to explain how the carriers form excitons or sequentially arrive at activators to promote the ion to an excited state.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the degradation process of PPDP phosphor during panel fabrication and during panel life is presented. But the degradation mechanism is not yet fully clarified, and the degradation is due to three different mechanisms: the adsorption of an oxygen atom of the atmosphere into an oxygen vacancy of the surface phosphor, the diffusion of divalent europium ions along the conduction layer of BAM and the transfer of one electron from dopant ions to adsorbed oxygen ions when the divalentEuropium ion are close to adsored oxygen ions

TL;DR: The crystal growth and scintillation properties of Ba 2 CsI 5 :Eu 2+ are reported in this article, where the vertical Bridgman technique is used to produce a very high performance scintillator.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical expression for the local light yield as a function of the local deposited energy (−dE/dx) and total scintillation yield integrated over the track of an electron of initial energy E are derived from radiative and/or nonradiative rates of first through third order in density of electronic excitations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed and interpreted the scintillation mechanism with a model that comprises prompt charge carrier trapping by Ce and delayed excitation of Ce by means of thermally activated transport of self-trapped exciton defects.
