Abstract

Abstract : A flexible scintillator screen of Rb2 CuBr3 @polymer has been developed for X-ray imaging with good quality, exhibiting a high spatial resolution of 27.9 lp mm −1 and a low detection limit of 63 nGyair s −1 . Abstract : Rb2 CuBr3 nanocrystals with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 75% were synthesized and then further mixed with polymethyl methacrylate to form flexible scintillators. The scintillators maintain a high PLQY, even after bending for 2000 cycles and storing in air for 28 days. X-Ray imaging of targeted objects was demonstrated based on the flexible scintillators, which exhibits a detection limit of 63 nGyair s −1 and a spatial resolution of 27.9 lp mm −1 .
