Description
There is a rising demand for new detectors with ultra-fast timing for the use of Time-Of-Flight measurements in medical imaging and high-energy physics. One way of tackling this challenge is a composite material of bulk inorganic scintillators with nanoscintillators exhibiting quantum confinement effect. In this work, thin films of CsPbBr$_3$ nanocrystals were prepared on various substrates and their radioluminescent and timing properties were tested. Enhancement in radioluminescence intensity and addition of ultrafast decay components was observed by applying CsPbBr$_3$ thin film on scintillating wafers. Significant improvements in detector time resolution of composite materials in comparison with pure inorganic scintillating crystals were observed.
