Novel radio-photoluminescence materials and applications

Radio-photoluminescence (RPL) is a phenomenon whereby new luminescent centre generated in material by the interaction of an ionizing radiation with medium. Despite usefulness RPL, e.g. measurements, there are only limited number RPL materials available today, which limits our understanding as well extending its use for applications. In recent investigations, large systems have been proposed measurements. particular, Sm-based one most intensively studied alternative systems, shows properties owing to intravalence reduction Sm ion (Sm3+ → Sm2+) induced radiation. The Sm2+, Sm3+, acts and photoluminescence, typically around 700 nm. This approach has enabled us explore wider range choices find application RPL. An example microbeam therapy (MRT), requires measurement extremely dose distributions at microscopic scale. Such class not but also those doped other rare earth ions (e.g., Eu Yb) undoped materials.
