  • Scintillator including a material doped with an activator and co-dopant and radiation detector including the scintillator
    Patent number: 11326100
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a scintillator and a radiation detector including the scintillator. The scintillator includes a scintillator material. In an embodiment, the scintillator material can include a metal halide doped with Eu2+ and co-doped with Sm2+. The metal halide can include at least one halogen selected from Br, Cl, and I. In an embodiment, the metal halide can include at least one element selected from alkaline-earth metals, rare-earth elements, Al, Ga, and the alkali metals selected from Li, Na, Rb, Cs. In a particular embodiment, co-doping with Sm2+ can shift the scintillation light emission peak to a region of the emission spectrum having a low self-absorbance of the scintillator material.

  • Scintillator matertial including an activator and co-dopant
    Patent number: 11248169
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a scintillator material for a radiation detector. In an embodiment, the scintillator material can include a crystalline alkaline-earth metal halide comprising at least one alkaline-earth metal selected from Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, said alkaline-earth metal halide being doped with at least one dopant that activates the scintillation thereof other than Sm2+, and co-doped with Sm2+, said alkaline-earth metal halide comprising at least one halogen selected from Br, Cl, I.
