摘要
Phosphor converts excitation energy into light,resulting in lumminescence.The luminescence caused by radiation is called scintillation.Since the discovery of the scintillation in NaI∶Tl crystal in 1948,a series of materials with profound scintillating characteristics have been developed and have found wide applications for radiation detection in different fields such as nuclear physics,high energy physics,medical diagnostic imaging,geophysics exploration,clandestine explosive finding and many industrial measuring systems. Inorganic scintillating crystals have superior characteristics over their organic counterparts and some kinds of ceramics,glasses and powders that do have their scintillation effects.We will confine ourselves mainly to inorganic scintillating crystals in this presentation..
