Scintillation characteristics of the Czochralski-grown ZnWO4 single crystal were studied. This crystal, with light red-brown color, exhibits a maximum luminescence wavelength of 480 nm under excitation at 254 nm. The total luminescence output under x-ray excitation at 254 nm. The total luminescence output under x-ray excitation was found to be 2.3 times larger than that of the best Bi4Ge3O12 at room temperature with small afterglow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
