TL;DR: This work reports the room-temperature synthesis of a colloidal scintillator comprising CsPbBr3 nanosheets of large concentration and reveals an energy transfer process inside those stacked nanosheet solids that is responsible for their superb scintillation performance.
Journal Article
The quest for the ideal inorganic scintillator
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how suitably doped semiconductor scintillators could provide a combination of high light output, short decay time, and linearity of response that approach fundamental limits.
Journal ArticleDOI
A solution-processed zero-dimensional all-inorganic perovskite scintillator for high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy detection
TL;DR: Results are much better than those of the most widely used commercial products such as NaI(Tl) and demonstrates that this 0D all-inorganic material can be employed as a scintillator for ionization radiation applications such as X-ray imaging and spectroscopy applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
