The structure and scintillation properties of BaBrCl:xEu2+(x=0a0.12) and Eu2+ activated solid solutions in the BaCl2aBaBr2 system are reported. Samples were synthesized in the form of 1a5 mm crystals by melting the reactants in sealed quartz tubes followed by slow cooling. The solid solutions form a...
