COMPOSITE MATERIAL OF NEUTRON SCINTILLATOR, METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURE AND INCLUDING ITS PRODUCT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC C09K11/61 C09K11/85 G01T3/06 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: material includes a neutron scintillator of the formula Li₆Mg_1-xCe_xBr₈, where 0<x<1, and a binder having a refractive index that is substantially identical to the refractive index of the neutron scintillator. At the same time, the composite material of the neutron scintillator was obtained by hot pressing a mixture of a scintillator and a binder. A method for manufacturing a composite material and an article are also provided.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to minimize the scattering on the surface(s) of the section between the scintillator and the binder, yielding a transmittance that approaches single crystals.
