Abstract
A new type of RL light source consisting of a zeolite crystalline material, the intralattice spaces of which a tritiated compound and a luminophore are sorbed, and which material is optionally further dispersed in a refractive index-matched polymer matrix.
Claims9
A solid state radioluminescent composition or light source, comprising:
- an optically clear polymer matrix, having a crystalline zeolite material, into the crystalline intralattice spaces thereof which have been sorbed at least one tritium containing compound and at least one luminophore.
A solid state radioluminescent composition or light source, comprising a crystalline zeolite material having at least one tritium-containing compound and at least one luminophore occupying its intralattice spaces.
