ABSTRACT:
Oxybromides of lanthanum and gadolinium activated with bismuth are found to be superior in their conversion efficiency of X-rays to visible light when compared with conventional X-ray phosphors. The incorporation of the ytterbium ion in these phosphor materials produces reduced afterglow when used in X-ray image converter devices such as X-ray image intensifier tubes, fluoroscopic screens, and radiographic screens.
