A nanocrystal scintillator that contains a thin-film layer of perovskite-based quantum dots coated on a substrate layer. The quantum dots each have a formula of CsPbX a Y 3-a , CH 3 NH 3 PbX 3 , or NH 2 CH═NH 2 PbX 3 , in which each of X and Y, independently, is Cl, Br, or I, and a is 0-3. The substrate layer is an aluminum substrate, a fluoropolymer substrate, a fiber optic plate, a ceramic substrate, or a rubber substrate. Also disclosed are an ionizing radiation detector and an ionizing radiation imaging system containing such a nanocrystal scintillator. |
