| description | The review is devoted to the analysis of the compositional disordering potential of the crystal matrix of a scintillator to improve its scintillation parameters. Technological capabilities to complicate crystal matrices both in anionic and cationic sublattices of a variety of compounds are examined. The effects of the disorder at nano-level on the landscape at the bottom of the conduction band, which is adjacent to the band gap, have been discussed. The ways to control the composition of polycationic compounds when creating precursors, the role of disorder in the anionic sublattice in alkali halide compounds, a positive role of Gd based matrices on scintillation properties, and the control of the heterovalent state of the activator by creation of disorder in silicates have been considered as well. The benefits of introducing a 3D printing method, which is prospective for the engineering and production of scintillators at the nanoscale level, have been manifested. |
