Enhanced radiation hardness of a copper iodine cluster framework scintillator using a bridging macrocyclic ligand with aggregation-induced emission properties (opens in new tab)

As an emerging class of inorganic-organic hybrid scintillators, copper iodide clusters have garnered significant research interest owing to their numerous advantages, including structural diversity, high X-ray absorption capacity, superior X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) performance, and low toxicity. However, their practical applications are hindered by insufficient stability, particularly low radiation hardness. Constructing a framework material by connecting copper iodide clusters with br...
