Abstract

See full text

Scintillators, and more particularly inorganic scintillation crystals such as cadmium tungstate, bismuth germanate, barium fluoride and calcium fluoride are coated with successive coatings of particulate materials such as barium sulfate and titanium dioxide to provide a highly reflective surface layer capable of providing internal reflection of scintillation events in the region of 200-700 nm. The reflective surface enhances the pulse height and resolution of the scintillator when coupled to a suitable detector such as a photomultiplier tube or a silicon photodiode.
