X-Ray Phosphors and Scintillators (Integrating Techniques)

  • Chapter
Luminescent Materials

Abstract

The terms X-ray phosphors and scintillators are often used in an interchangeable way. Some authors use the term X-ray phosphors when the application requires a powder screen, and the term scintillator when a single crystal is required. The physical processes in the luminescence of these two types of materials is, however, in principle the same and comparable to that in cathode ray phosphors (Chapter 7).
