Fig. 5: Scintillation properties of large Stokes shift MOF-based nanocomposites.

a 2D map of the time resolved photoluminescence (PL) of the composite under 405 pulse laser excitation. The inset is a digital picture of the composite under UV lamp exposure. The bottom panel shows the decays in time of the PL intensity recorded at 540 nm and 450 nm. b 2D map of the composite scintillation emission under pulsed X-rays exposure. The bottom panel highlight the decay in time of the scintillation pulse intensity recorded at 540 nm and 450 nm. The top panel inset shows the scintillation pulse recorded in the ultrafast time scale with the instrumental response function (IRF) and the fit of the data with a pulse function convoluted with the IRF with a given average decay time τdecay of 10.4 ns.
