Bridgman method grown : an inter-alkali metal scintillator with high lithium content
Katerina Krehlikova, Vojtech Vanecek, Robert Kral +5
In this study, we report on the growth of ternary caesium lithium iodide (, CLI) bulk crystals, both undoped and doped with thallium (Tl) and indium (In), using the mi…
Ultraviolet cross-luminescence in ternary chlorides of alkali and alkaline-earth metals
Vojtech Vanecek, Juraj Paterek, Robert Kral +7
After the discovery of a cross-luminescence (CL) in BaF2 in 1982, a large number of CL scintillators were investigated. However, no CL scintillator superior to BaF2 has been discov…
Growth and Spectroscopic Properties of Pr Doped LuS SingleCrystals
Vojtech Vanecek, Vitezslav Jary, Robert Kral +6
For the first time LuS (undoped and Pr-doped) single crystals were successfully grown from melt using micro-pulling-down (mPD) technique. Customization of halide mPD appara…
On the origin of the light yield enhancement in polymeric composite scintillators loaded with dense nanoparticles
Irene Villa, Angelo Monguzzi, Roberto Lorenzi +12
Fast emitting polymeric scintillators are requested in advanced applications where high-speed detectors with large signal-to-noise ratio are needed. However, their low density impl…
