Description

Among the variety of scintillating inorganic materials glasses hold a unique position. They are transparent, easly handled, environmentally friendly, cheap to produce, and can be easily obtained in different forms in short times: from bulk to fibers. However, the disordered structure of the atoms in a glass and the presence of structural defects cause low efficiency transfer of electronic excitation to emitting centers preventing the achievement of a high scintillation yield.
