The literature so far has reviewed only single-crystal and, up to some extent, optical ceramic scintillators. This book introduces and describes in detail the research and development in thin-film scintillators, glass ceramics, as well as nanocomposite and optical ceramics prepared by spark plasma sintering. It also features an example of an in-depth study of a powder phosphor material. Both technology description and various characterization aspects are provided together with application hints.
