/ Pagano, Fiammetta (CERN ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Král, Jan (CTU, Prague ; Prague, Inst. Phys.) ; Děcká, Kateřina (CTU, Prague ; Prague, Inst. Phys.) ; Pizzichemi, Marco (Milan Bicocca U. ; CERN) ; Mihóková, Eva (CTU, Prague ; Prague, Inst. Phys.) ; Čuba, Václav (CTU, Prague) ; Auffray, Etiennette (CERN)
AbstractTime‐of‐flight (TOF) technique, traditionally used in high energy physics (HEP) and positron emission tomography (PET), is now being explored for lower energy applications like computed tomography (CT). Regardless of the application, pushing the current boundaries in time resolution calls for novel technologies and materials exhibiting ultra‐fast time response. [...]

Timing performance of lead halide perovskite nanoscintillators embedded in a polystyrene matrix
/ Děcká, Kateřina (Prague, Tech. U. ; Prague, Inst. Phys.) ; Pagano, Fiammetta (CERN ; Milan Bicocca U.) ; Frank, Isabel (CERN ; LMU Munich (main)) ; Kratochwil, Nicolaus (CERN) ; Mihóková, Eva (Prague, Tech. U. ; Prague, Inst. Phys.) ; Auffray, Etiennette (CERN) ; Čuba, Václav (Prague, Tech. U.)
Nanomaterials like CsPbBr$_3$, benefiting from quantum confinement effects to feature ultra-fast decay time and tunable emission, are paving the way for the next generation of fast timing detectors. However, an ongoing challenge is to exploit their favorable properties in a full detector, given their size and instability. [...]

Core–shell ZnO:Ga-SiO$_2$ nanocrystals: limiting particle agglomeration and increasing luminescence via surface defect passivation
/ Procházková, Lenka (Prague, Tech. U. ; Prague, Inst. Phys.) ; Vaněček, Vojtěch (CTU, Prague) ; Čuba, Václav (CTU, Prague) ; Pjatkan, Radek (Unlisted, CZ) ; Martinez-Turtos, Rosana (Milan Bicocca U.) ; Jakubec, Ivo (ASCR, Prague) ; Buryi, Maksym (Prague, Inst. Phys.) ; Omelkov, Sergey (Tartu U.) ; Auffray, Etiennette (CERN) ; Lecoq, Paul (CERN) et al.
Heat treatment is needed to increase the luminescence intensity of ZnO:Ga particles, but it comes at the cost of higher particle agglomeration. Higher agglomeration results in low transparency of scintillating powder when embedded in a matrix and constitutes one of the biggest disadvantages, besides low light yield and low stopping power, of ZnO:Ga powder.

Recent developments in medical imaging techniques, in particular, those in time-of-flight positron emission tomography put new challenges on scintillating material performance that cannot be fulfilled by conventional scintillators. Bright and ultrafast nanoparticles represent promising candidates to build up an advanced detection system needed. [...]

Highly luminescent ZnO:Ga-polystyrene composite (ZnO:Ga-PS) with ultrafast subnanosecond decay was prepared by homogeneous embedding the ZnO:Ga scintillating powder into the scintillating organic matrix. The powder was prepared by photo-induced precipitation with subsequent calcination in air and Ar/H2 atmospheres. [...]
