Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As a penetrating high-energy ray, X-ray plays a crucial role in the fields of biomedicine, non-destructive industrial exploration, safety detection and high-energy physics, being applied to computed tomography technology in disease diagnosis. In addition, the femto second frame rate of free electron lasers makes it possible to study electronic processes. The quality of X-ray imaging is closely related to scintillators, which can convert high-energy radiation into ultraviolet light.

In order to ensure that X-ray imaging is more able to benefit mankind, numerous researchers are committed to developing flexible, low-dose, high-spatial and temporal resolution scintillator materials.

This Special Issue is devoted to research addressing the influence of different scintillation materials on X-ray imaging quality, including simulation calculation, the preparation and characterization of new scintillation materials, and the development of novel imaging systems.

In order to further advance this field together, researchers are invited to share their results in this Special Issue and jointly promote the development of X-ray imaging.

Abstract
A series of lead-free Rb2ZrCl6:xTe4+ (x = 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 5.0%, 10.0%) perovskite materials were synthesized through a hydrothermal method in this work. The substitution of Te4+ for Zr in Rb [...] Read more.
A series of lead-free Rb2ZrCl6:xTe4+ (x = 0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 5.0%, 10.0%) perovskite materials were synthesized through a hydrothermal method in this work. The substitution of Te4+ for Zr in Rb2ZrCl6 was investigated to examine the effect of Te4+ doping on the spectral properties of Rb2ZrCl6 and its potential applications. The incorporation of Te4+ induced yellow emission of triplet self-trapped emission (STE). Different luminescence wavelengths were regulated by Te4+ concentration and excitation wavelength, and under a low concentration of Te4+ doping (x ≤ 0.1%), different types of host STE emission and Te4+ triplet state emission could be achieved through various excitation energies. These luminescent properties made it suitable for applications in information encryption. When Te4+ was doped at high concentrations (x ≥ 1%), yellow triplet state emission of Te4+ predominated, resulting in intense yellow emission, which stemmed from strong exciton binding energy and intense electron-phonon coupling. In addition, a Rb2ZrCl6:2%Te4+@RTV scintillating film was fabricated and a spatial resolution of 3.7 lp/mm was achieved, demonstrating the potential applications of Rb2ZrCl6:xTe4+ in nondestructive detection and bioimaging.
