“…Since then, numerous derivatives of this family have been explored, including undoped, self-activated cerium tribromide (CeBr 3 ) (Shah 2005). Although the scintillation performance of these cerium-doped and ceriumbased crystals is outstanding, their mechanical properties are not generally conducive to growth of large single crystals (Harrison 2008(Harrison , 2009(Harrison , 2010.…”
