ABSTRACT
In this chapter, a review of R&D activity in the field of ZnO-based scintillators is presented. Two preparation methods for undoped and Ga-doped ZnO powder phosphor which provide material with high intensity of fast excitonic luminescence in near-UV are
developed, while the slow visible emission is suppressed. XRD and SEM experiments are employed to characterize the structure and morphology of prepared materials and radioluminescence is the main tool to characterize their scintillation performance. An attempt to prepare ZnO:Ga ceramics is presented as well.
