Rare Earth Iodide Applications
CeI3:
Cerium iodide can be used to prepare lutetium iodide, gadolinium iodide, and yttrium iodide scintillation crystals. Cerium doped lutetium iodide (LuI3: Ce3 +), gadolinium iodide (GdI3: Ce3 +) and yttrium iodide (YI3: Ce3 +) crystals are all excellent scintillators.
EuI2:
Europium iodide can be used to prepare scintillation crystals. Europium doped strontium iodide (SrI2: Eu2 +) crystal is an excellent scintillation material.
GdI3:
Gadolinium iodide can be used to prepare scintillation crystals. Cerium doped gadolinium iodide (GdI3: Ce3 +) is an excellent scintillator.
LuI3:
Lutetium iodide can be used to prepare scintillation crystals. Cerium doped lutetium iodide crystals (LuI3: Ce3 +) are excellent scintillators.
YI3:
Yttrium iodide can be used to prepare scintillation crystals. Cerium doped yttrium iodide crystal (YI3: Ce3 +) is a new scintillator with excellent properties.
ScI3:
Scandium iodide can be used to make metal halide lamps, which is a common luminescent material for metal halide lamps.
