A Review on X-ray Detection Using Nanomaterials

Background: Since the discovery of X-rays by Röntgen in 1895, X-rays have been widely applied in multiple disciplines and industries. Since the X-rays are well beyond human visibility, materials are used for the high-energy X-ray detections. This review focuses on the X-ray detection using nanomaterials. Keywords: Luminescence, nanomaterial, phosphor, radiation, scintillator, semiconductor, X-ray detection.
