Abstract

High-performance and low-cost metal halide perovskite scintillator materials have important applications in X-ray detection and imaging. However, large-sized perovskite scintillator panel with high transmittance, low toxicity and long-term stability is still lacking. Herein, Eu2+ doped cesium alkaline earth chloride nanocrystals (Eu2+: CsCaCl3, Eu2+: CsSrCl3, and Eu2+: Cs2BaCl4 NCs) embedded in glasses through conventional melt-quenching and subsequent heat-treatment were developed. These NCs doped glasses exhibited highly efficient and narrowband photoluminescence in blue region. Benefitting from the large X-ray absorption coefficient and high photoluminescence quantum yied, these Eu2+: CsCaCl3 NCs doped glass scintillator shows light yield of ∼9300 photons/MeV, detection limit of ∼213.8 μGy/s, and spatial resolution of 30.0 lp/mm. These results demonstrated that glasses containing Eu2+ doped cesium alkaline earth chloride nanocrystals are promising for X-ray detection and imaging.
