Photoluminescence and scintillation properties of Al(PO3)3–CsPO3–CsBr–CeBr3 glass scintillators

Radiation-induced luminescence properties of Sn-doped hafnium aluminosilicate glass ceramics prepared by using a xenon image furnace

“…On the other hand, the development of heavy-element glass scintillators has been progressing in recent years, and a few studies on some of them with light yield of more than 50% of the GS-20 scintillator have reported. [13][14][15][16] While these results support the potential of heavy-element oxide glasses as scintillators for X-and γ-ray detection, they also suggest that there is room for further material search. For the search of materials for such heavy-element oxide glasses, special glass making techniques are useful.…”

Radiation-induced Luminescence Properties of Ce-doped ZnBr2-based Glasses

“…In recent years, Ce-doped oxyhalide and halide glasses have attracted much attention because of advantages including a low synthesis temperature and a low phonon energy compared with oxide glasses. (48)(49)(50)(51)(52) In addition, Ce-doped oxyhalide glasses show high LYs compared with those reported for glass scintillators; for example, the LYs reported for Ce-doped BaF 2 -Al 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 , (53) CsCl-Al(PO 3 ) 3 -CsPO 3 , (54) and CsBr-Al(PO 3 ) 3 -CsPO 3 (55) were 1800, 2100, and 2700 photons/MeV, respectively. In the case of halide glasses, Ce-doped ZnCl 2 -based glasses such as CsCl-CaCl 2 -ZnCl 2 (56) and CsCl-BaCl 2 -ZnCl 2 (57) showed high quantum yields (QY) of ~87.6 and ~75.7, respectively.…”
