Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) materials, enabling energy storage by capturing of
charge carriers and then the energy conversion to light via photostimulation, can find many …

The aim of this review is to present the progress in preparing phosphorescent particles
based on the reported research. We highlight the recent progress on SrAl 2 O 4: Eu, Dy …

The present work reviews some fundamental aspects of scintillators, including the light yield,
decay time, emission wavelength, afterglow, timing resolution and energy resolution …

Glow‐in‐the‐dark materials have been around for a long time. While formerly materials had
to be mixed with radioactive elements to achieve a sufficiently long and bright afterglow …

Storage phosphors have been used for luminescent-type dosimeters to measure radiation
dose. Common storage-luminescence phenomena are optically-stimulated luminescence …

Photoluminescence and scintillation characteristics of Eu-doped Ba 2 SiO 4 were
investigated. A broad emission band due to Eu 2+ is observed at 500 nm, and the …

The state of the art of single crystal fiber (SCF) fabrication has evolved and improved over
the last five decades. Nowadays, edge‐defined film‐feed growth, micro‐pulling down, and …

Abstract Pyrochlore La 2 Hf 2 O 7, Gd 2 Hf 2 O 7, and Lu 2 Hf 2 O 7 single crystals were
successfully grown by using an optical floating zone furnace. The synthesized crystals …

After the discovery of new-generation persistent luminescence materials based on Eu 2+,
there are many debates on their long-lasting mechanism. In this work, SrAl 2 O 4: Eu 2+/Dy …

Nanoparticles have emerged as versatile tools in the realm of thermal therapy, offering
precise control and feedback mechanisms for targeted treatments. This review explores the …
