Abstract
Presently, the exploration of novel inorganic lead-free perovskite scintillators has emerged as a prominent topic in the field of perovskite materials. Extensive attention has been garnered by materials such as Cs3Cu2I5 due to their notable advantage in scintillation intensity, but the response time constants in the microsecond or even millisecond range severely constrain their potential applications in scintillators. In this study, large-sized (5-6 mm) CsAg2I3 single crystals with an ultrafast warm-white light emission on a nanosecond time scale are presented. Specifically, upon X-ray excitation, the single crystal demonstrates a broad-spectrum white light emission with a color temperature as high as 5129 K, attributed to its self-trapped exciton emission. The 137Cs energy spectrum reveals that CsAg2I3 possesses an ultrafast response for γ rays with a time constant of 15 ns, which is significantly faster than that of Cs3Cu2I5. Furthermore, time-resolved photoluminescence unveils a subnanosecond component with a response time of 0.9 ns. The characteristics of ultrafast warm-white light emission exhibit the significant potential of CsAg2I3 in radiation scintillation detection and its probability of playing a pivotal role in future radiation detection technology.
