Title: Tl+-based and mixed halide A3B2X9-type scintillators

Abstract

Inorganic halides (e.g., inorganic halide scintillators) of the general formula A3B2X9, including inorganic halides comprising thallium monovalent cations and/or combinations of different halides, are described. Radiation detectors including the inorganic halide scintillators and methods of using the detectors to detect high energy radiation are also described. In some cases, the scintillators can include a gadolinium cation, a boron cation, a lithium cation, a chloride ion, or combinations thereof and the scintillator can be used to detect neutrons.
