In the scintillation process, a photon is released in the UV or visible-light range when an excited electron in the scintillator returns to its ground state. In recent decades there has been a significant increase in the use of scintillating materials for various applications. They have been used, for example, in the medical imaging area for techniques such as computed tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography. Due to its decay time in nanoseconds, medium density (5.6 g/cm3 ) and potentially high light output, users in national security and high energy physics communities have demonstrated interest in optimizing the performance of ZnO:Ga as an inorganic scintillator".pdfengCIENCIAS FÍSICO MATEMÁTICAS Y CIENCIAS DE LA TIERRASemiconductoresRadiación ionizanteCentelleadoresSustancias luminiscentesOxido de cincPelículas delgadasTesis de maestríaopenAccess
