Title: Stabilized scintillator

Abstract

A stabilized scintillator includes a compound corresponding to formula (2) or (3), or activated derivatives thereof: A.sub.2BB'.sub.xB''.sub.yX.sub.6 (2) A.sub.2BB'X.sub.xX'.sub.y (3) wherein A and B are monovalent cations, B' is a trivalent cation, X is a halogen, x and y are molar percentages, x+y=1; B'' is an aliovalent exchange cation that has a different valence than B', X' is an aliovalent exchange anion that has a different valence than X. A method of preparing the stabilized scintillator is also disclosed.
