Abstract

A novel glass-ceramic scintillation screen based on an antimony(III) halide ((DCI)₃SbCl₆·CH₃CN, DCI = 1,3-dicyclohexyl imidazolium) has been fabricated via in situ recrystallization. It exhibits a high light yield of 16 159 photons MeV⁻¹ and maintains an excellent spatial resolution of 18 lp mm⁻¹, demonstrating great potential for X-ray imaging.
