Progress in Organic Materials based Solid-State X-Ray Scintillators

Abstract

Organic solid-state scintillating materials have attracted wide attention due to their irreplaceable advantages such as low cost, easy production, flexibility, and adjustable luminescence performance. Recently, various organic materials based solid-state X-ray scintillators have emerged. This has greatly facilitated the practical application of X-ray scintillators in radiation detection, medical imaging, and security identification. This paper reviews the latest progress on solid-state organic scintillating materials in the status of crystals and thin films, as well as composites bearing organic components. By emphasizing molecular structure and property highlights, this work aims to provide the latest results in organic scintillating solids, including these materials' development and application, as well as challenges and problems.
