BaBrI:Eu2+, a new bright scintillator

Abstract: The scintillation properties of BaBrI:Eu 2+ are reported. Crystals were produced by the vertical Bridgman technique in a sealed quartz ampoule. Excellent scintillation properties were measured. A light yield of 81,000 ± 3,000 photons per MeV (ph/MeV) of absorbed gamma-ray energy was measured. An energy resolution (FWHM over peak position) of 4.8 ± 0.5% was observed for the 662 keV full absorption peak. Pulsed x-ray luminescence measurements show two exponential decay components of 297 and 482 ns with a contrib… Show more

“…The mixed halides BaFI [9], BaBrI [10], BaClI [11] and BaBrCl [11] showed a clear improvement in the scintillation properties compared with the binary halides. Solid solutions offer the possibility to tailor properties by incrementally varying the composition.…”

“…Alkaline earth halides (Cherepy et al, 2008), rare earth halides (van Loef et al, 2002;Glodo et al, 2008), and compounds based on such binaries (Bourret-Courchesne et al, 2009, 2010 are efficient scintillators when doped with divalent europium or trivalent cerium. For a detailed study of the luminescence properties of the title compound, see : Eagleman et al (2011).…”
