CsI
TI:CsI is among the brightest scintillators. Most of its emission lies in the long-wavelength part of the spectrum (>500nm), making it well suited to photodiode readout. TI:CsI offers a high light yield, no cleavage planes, a low melting point and easy growth, together with good optical and mechanical properties, physicochemical stability and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. It is a high-performance scintillator used in security inspection, neutrino detection, γ-ray detection and XCT. Pure CsI is also a scintillator but behaves differently. It exhibits fast (~10ns) emission peaking at 310nm, although its room-temperature scintillation yield is very low. At 77k its light yield reaches 100000 ph/MeV, making pure CsI attractive for low-temperature detector applications. Sodium-doped cesium iodide (Na:CsI) is an important alkali-halide inorganic scintillator widely used for laser-stimulated transparent films and X-ray detection materials. Na:CsI has a peak emission wavelength of 420nm and a decay time of approximately 630. Compared with organic scintillators, inorganic Na:CsI offers higher light intensity and effective atomic number. It has recently attracted interest as a promising material for dark-matter detection.
