TLDR
In this article, a review of recent research in the field of phosphor and scintillator materials and related detectors is presented, where the fundamental issues regarding the interaction of x-ray radiation with a solid state are explained.Abstract:
Recent research in the field of phosphor and scintillator materials and related detectors is reviewed. After a historical introduction the fundamental issues are explained regarding the interaction of x-ray radiation with a solid state. Crucial parameters and characteristics important for the performance of these materials in applications, including the employed measurement methods, are described. Extended description of the materials currently in use or under intense study is given. Scintillation detector configurations are further briefly overviewed and selected applications are mentioned in more detail to provide an illustration.read more

Tuning the Luminescence of Layered Halide Perovskites.
TL;DR: This review highlights the different types of photoluminescence that may be attained from layered halide perovskites, with an emphasis on how the emission may be systematically tuned through changes to the bulk crystalline lattice: changes in composition, structure, and dimensionality.

Advanced CCD imaging spectrometer (ACIS) instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory
TL;DR: The ACIS instrument has been operating for three years in orbit, producing high quality scientific data on a wide variety of X-ray emitting astronomical objects, except for a brief period at the very beginning of the mission when the CCDs were exposed to the radiation environment of the Outer van Allen Belts which resulted in substantial radiation damage to the front illuminated CCD.
