Optical nanomaterials (ONMs) have attracted significant attention of the global research
community owing to their several superior advantages. Some of the ONMs depict negligible …

Due to events of the past two decades, there has been new and increased usage of
radiation-detection technologies for applications in homeland security, nonproliferation, and …

A novel class of scintillating materials, which are nanocomposites of known scintillators, is
described. These nanocomposite materials are expected to have improved properties with …

Nano-glasses are next-generation scintillators combining favorably the merits of both
scintillator crystals and glasses. Here, a new nano-glass scintillator is prepared embedding …

The employment of phosphors in luminescence thermometry is deemed one of the pivotal
developments in the field. Besides the convenience of remote readings, phosphors may …

The effects of Tb doping on the photoluminescence (PL) of Y2O3: Tb nanophosphors have
been investigated. Nanophosphors were prepared by the glycine–nitrate solution …

This contribution is a review of the luminescence and scintillation properties of nanoparticles
(NP), particularly doped insulators. Luminescence spectroscopy is an appropriate tool to …

Background: Since the discovery of X-rays by Röntgen in 1895, X-rays have been widely
applied in multiple disciplines and industries. Since the X-rays are well beyond human …

Abstract Dy 3+-doped yttrium orthosilicate (Y 2 SiO 5, abbreviated YSO) phosphors were
synthesized:(1) by conventional high temperature solid-state method using two types of …

Y 2 SiO 5 is a very important material holding wide range of luminescent properties making it
a worthy luminous material. However, to extend its luminescent properties, doping can be …
