Abstract
Herein, we evaluate Yb3+ doped CsPbCl3 as a bright ceramic scintillator material and investigate different doping amounts to elucidate its bright luminescence enabled by quantum cutting. We demonstrate that the host CsPbCl3 perovskite structure is maintained up to 7% mole Yb3+, which produces a light yield of 102,000 photons/MeV. We show that these polycrystalline perovskite scintillators can be pressed into a ceramic pellet and used for x-ray imaging with a resolution of approximately 0.1 mm. The combination of high light yield and the simple, inexpensive synthesis reported in this work demonstrates the great potential of Yb3+:CsPbCl3 for scintillation applications.
