Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on advancements in the design, characterization and application of inorganic luminescent materials. The development and application of new inorganic luminescent materials is significant in many fields, and microstructural characterization based on simple and novel analytical techniques will promote the exploration of new high-performance materials. This Special Issue welcomes contributions from various scientific and engineering communities, with a particular interest in studies on luminescent materials such as fluoride-based core/multi-shell nanoparticles and perovskites. Papers on afterglow materials with promising applications in biomedicine, display and information encryption are also welcome, as are experimental and theoretical research papers.

Dr. Lei Lei
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Inorganic scintillators are of great significance in the fields of medical CT, high-energy physics and industrial nondestructive testing. In this work, we confirm that the Pb4Lu3F17: Re (Re = Tb, Eu, Sm, Dy, Ho) crystals are promising candidates for a new kind of scintillator. Detailed crystal structure information is obtained by the Rietveld refinement analysis. Upon X-ray irradiation, all these scintillators exhibited characteristic 4f-4f transitions. The Ce and Gd ions were verified to be useful for enhancing the scintillation intensity via introducing energy transfer processes. The integrated scintillation intensity of the Pb4Lu3F17: Tb/Ce is about 16.8% of the commercial CsI (Tl) single crystal. Our results manifested that Pb4Lu3F17: Re has potential application in X-ray detection and imaging. Full article
