Ceramic Cs₂HfCl₆: A Novel Scintillation Material for Use in Gamma Ray Spectroscopy

Single crystal scintillators have become one of the most common materials used in technologies that use radiation detectors. Unfortunately, as technology demands improved detectors, research into better single crystal scintillators has nearly reached its limit. Ceramics provide many benefits over single crystal scintillators and have emerged as a promising new production process. Recent research into ceramic scintillators has mostly dealt with...
