    摘要: The invention discloses use of a uranium-containing compound as a scintillator. The uranium-containing compound is a uranium-containing organic-inorganic hybrid compound or a uranium-containing inorganic compound. The uranium-containing organic-inorganic hybrid compound is a uranium-containing organic carboxylate or a uranium-containing organophosphate. The uranium-containing inorganic compound is a uranium-containing non-metallate, a uranium-containing metal salt, or a uranium-containing halide. The invention discloses the uranium-containing organic-inorganic compound or the uranium-containing inorganic compound having intrinsic scintillating ability, and provides a new concept and method for the development of (organic-inorganic, inorganic) scintillators of various chemical compositions and configurations with the uranium element.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a scintillator for use in an x-ray backscattering system. The scintillator comprises an inorganic scintillator portion made of inorganic scintillating material and comprising one or more inorganic material elements. Each inorganic material element of the one or more inorganic material elements comprises an outer surface, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface. The outer surface is configured to be proximate to a subject to be scanned, such that the outer surface is configured to receive x-ray photons scattered by the subject. The scintillator also comprises an organic scintillator portion made of an organic scintillating material and comprising a front surface. At least a portion of the front surface abuts the inner surface of at least one of the one or more inorganic material elements.
