Анотація:This monograph deals with modern problems of scintillator materials science and advanced technologies for creation of small-sized scintillator detection systems for radiation instruments of different purpose. Principal scientific and technical aspects are considered of raw material synthesis and growth of scintillator crystals, and studies of their physico-technical, luminescent and radiation parameters are described. Data are presented on characteristics of ultra-low background spectrometric detection blocks of new generation of “scintillator-PMT” type on the basis of heavy oxide scintillators. Properties are described of a new type of integrated detectors of “scintillator-photodiode” type on the basis of ZnSe(Te) crystals. Examples are presented of practical applications of scintillators and scintielectronic detectors in medical, inspection and industrial introscopes, small-sized household and professional multi-functional and emergency dosimeters, as well as radiometric and spectrometric systems.
