Abstract
Luminescence-kinetic properties of polystyrene composites based on BaF2 nanoparticles were studied. The electron emission from the nanoparticles due to the photoelectric effect is the main luminescence excitation mechanism in the case of polystyrene composites loaded with small BaF2 nanoparticles (~20nm). Scintillation pulse of polystyrene composites possesses only fast decay component with the time constant τ~2ns, and its emission intensity considerably exceeds the one for pure polystyrene scintillator upon the X-ray excitations.
