Reduction of reabsorption effects in scintillators by employing solutes with large Stokes shifts
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5712115
A radiation or high energy particle responsive system useful as a scintillator comprises, a first component which interacts with radiation or high energy particles to emit photons in a certain first wavelength range, and at least one additional solute component which absorbs the photons in said first wavelength range and thereupon emits photons in another wavelength range higher than said first range. An improvement is provided wherein at least one of said components absorbs substantially no photons in the wavelength range in which it emits photons, due to a large Stokes shift caused by an excited state intramolecular rearrangement.
