Recent Progress of Transparent Ceramic Scintillators

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recent progress of transparent ceramic scintillators is reviewed. The present work reports the research and development of oxide transparent ceramic materials such as garnet, sesquioxide, complex perovskite and some other kinds. Some representative scintillation properties such as scintillation emission spectra and decay times under X-ray irradiation are presented. Gamma-ray induced scintillation detector properties including pulse height spectrum, energy resolution, and light yield nonproportionality are also shown.
