Abstract
Radio-photoluminescence (RPL) refers to the property of certain substances to become luminescent after irradiation to ionizing radiations in a spectral region where no luminescence exists prior to irradiation. It helps in the determination of radiation-induced effects on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of irradiated material. This chapter covers the basic phenomena involved in RPL and scintillation. The chapter also explains the role of RPL in the evolution of radiation dosimetry with a brief discussion on the concept of RPL. Moreover, the ideas about RPL are illustrated and processes involved during the RPL phenomenon are discussed. The chapter also covers the instruments used for the study of RPL materials. Also, the materials used for RPL and scintillation are discussed in detail based on their characteristics. Lastly, the chapter deals with applications and innovations involved with RPL and scintillation.
