Abstract
Metal halide-based perovskite materials have received great attention in scintillating applications because they can emit strong visible light when interacting with X-ray particles. Here, we report a scintillator based on rubidium copper chlorine incorporated in the polydimethylsiloxane matrix. The scintillator shows a bright violet emission under ultraviolet and ionizing radiation. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence and radioluminescence shows maximum thermal enhancement at 80 degrees C and 60 degrees C, respectively. Moreover, the first X-ray image from this material reveals the detailed information of the object captured by a commercially available digital camera, indicating a potent scintillator for creating X-ray imaging screens.
