Abstract
This invention relates to a method for producing a core-shell nanophosphor for use in radiation storage comprising: a) preparing a nanoscale metal halide core; b) coating the nanoscale metal halide core with at least one shell which is activated by a rare earth metal; and c) forming a core-shell nanophosphor. This invention also relates to a core-shell nanophosphor comprising a substrate core and at least one shell that is sensitive to ionizing radiation, neutrons, electrons or UV radiation. This invention also relates to a radiation image storage panel, a radiation monitoring apparatus and a use of the core-shell nanophosphor according to this invention.
