Transparent hybrid metal halide glassy scintillators for high-resolution and multicolor X-ray imaging

Caption

Transparent zero-dimensional MTP2SbCl5 & MTP2MnCl4 hybrid metal halide glasses are realized via low-temperature melt-quenching to eliminate light scattering in composite scintillators. The amorphous scintillators combine high transparency, complete X-ray attenuation, and high light yields up to 19,232 photons MeV⁻1, enabling spatial resolutions of 22.5 lp mm⁻1. Tunable multicolor radioluminescence and reversible glass-crystal transition establish a recyclable platform for high-resolution X-ray imaging.
