The present review article covers major aspects of inorganic chemistry of nanofluorides,
including methods of their synthesis (thermolysis of the precursors, co-precipitation from …

Radiation therapy is one of the most commonly used treatments for cancer. The dose of
delivered ionizing radiation can be amplified by the presence of high-Z materials via an …

The short-wavelength sub-nanosecond luminescence in BaF 2 material, discovered in the
early 80s, gave a new direction to research into fast scintillators and phosphors. In contrast …

Monoclinic Gd1− xEuxBO3 nanopowders were successfully synthesized using a modified
Pechini method. The crystal structure of the prepared materials was revised and confirmed …

Abstract Fluorescent Ag-doped ZnS nanoparticles have been prepared and used as
scintillators for detecting ionizing radiation. Results demonstrate a linear relationship …

We report systematic ab initio calculations of the electronic band structure, phonon
dispersion relation, and the structural characterization of FeF 2 in the rutile (P 4 2/mnm) …

This review article highlights the exploration of inorganic nanoscintillators for various
scientific and technological applications in the fields of radiation detection, bioimaging, and …

The dependence of X-ray excited luminescence intensity on BaF 2 nanoparticle size was
studied. A sharp decrease of self-trapped exciton luminescence intensity was observed …

CexLa1− xF3 nanoparticles have been proposed for use in nanoscintillator–photosensitizer
systems, where excitation of nanoparticles by ionizing radiation would result in energy …

We report on the synthesis and characterization of a composite nanostructure based on the
coupling of cerium fluoride (CeF 3) and zinc oxide (ZnO) for applications in self-lighted …
