Demonstration of an X-ray image of a chip via NaLuF4: Tb3+-based glass ceramic

Caption

The NaLuF4: Tb3+-based glass ceramic were synthesized via the conventional melt-quenching and heat-treating route. Using XRD, TEM, HAADF-STEM and EDS mapping techniques, the phase and microstructure structure of the NaLuF4: Tb3+-based glass ceramic was characterized. Notably, due to its high crystallinity, high transmittance @ 542 nm, and exceptional X-ray imaging resolution, NaLuF4: Tb3+-based glass ceramic shows promise as a potential scintillator for high-resolution X-ray imaging applications.
