Abstract

Thin film samples of CeCl₃, CeBr₃, and combinatorial compositions along the CeCl₃-CeBr₃ join were produced using thermal evaporation, which is being evaluated as a method for rapid screening of scintillator materials. The combinatorial thin films were shown to be compositionally reproducible from run-to-run within reasonable limitations. Analytical results suggest a continuous variation in the combinatorial samples in terms of their compositions, crystal structures, and luminescence characteristics.
