Toward a Second Generation of Metascintillators Using the Purcell Effect
This study focuses on advancing metascintillators to break the 100 ps barrier and approach the 10 ps target. We exploitnanophotonic features, specifically the Purcell effect, to shape and enhance the scintillation properties of the first-generation metascintillator. We demonstrate that a faster emission is achievable along with a more efficient conversionefficiency. This results in a coincidence time resolution improved by a factor of 1.3, crucial for TOF-PET applications.
