To date, more than 200 scintillation materials have been developed, however only a few of them are widely used for detectors design and construction. A general trend is to use for detectors the elements produced from the selected top-quality grade scintillation materials instead of expensive novel chemically not stable halides. Another trend, which came in the last few years, is to apply new achievements from the theory of scintillation materials to engineer the properties of the materials for a particular application. From that point of view, the complex oxides with garnet structure is a family of materials, for which properties can be tuned for the best performance for a particular application at the ionizing radiation detection.

铈掺杂石榴石结构晶体闪烁材料

迄今为止，已经开发了200多种闪烁材料，但是只有少数几种被广泛用于探测器的设计和构造。一种普遍的趋势是将由选定的顶级品质闪烁材料生产的元素用于检测器，而不是使用昂贵的新型化学不稳定的卤化物。最近几年出现的另一趋势是，利用闪烁材料理论的新成果来设计材料的特性以用于特定应用。从这个角度来看，具有石榴石结构的复合氧化物是一类材料，可以针对特定应用在电离辐射检测中调整其性能以获得最佳性能。
