New York City, NY, July 21, 2017/24 Market Reports: Inorganic Scintillators are crystals grown in high temperature furnaces and are made of Alkali Halides (i.e., NaI, CsI) or Oxides (i.e., BGO), etc. They have scintillation properties by virtue of their crystalline structure. This structure creates the energy bands between which electrons can jump up to higher energy levels by excitation through ionizing radiation or down to lower energy levels by de-excitation through the emission of (visible) photons. The result is known as the scintillation effect.
Some crystals need activators to enable scintillation emission in the visible part of the spectrum. An example of such an activator is Thallium (Tl), which is used in the best known and most frequently used Inorganic Scintillator: NaI (Tl).
This research studies the Inorganic Scintillator market status and outlook of global and major regions, from angles of players, regions, product types and end industries; it analyzes the top players in global and major regions, and splits the Inorganic Scintillator market by product type and applications/end industries.
