Non-destructive testing of mechanical components achieved by hybrid copper–iodide cluster
We synthesized a Cu<sub>4</sub>I<sub>4</sub>(3-picoline)<sub>4</sub> cluster scintillator with high X-ray attenuation and a 89.25% photoluminescence quantum yield. <i>In situ</i> fabrication yielded screens showing a high light yield (60 617 photons per MeV), low detection limit (0.91 μGy<sub>air</sub> s<sup>-1</sup>), and exceptional resolution (13 lp per mm). Non-destructive testing ability was demonstrated by imaging from plastic to metal.
