Powder samples of these materials exhibit significant scintillation under X-rays. The samples were synthesized by solid-state methods from a 1:1 molar ratio of lithium or sodium chloride and gadolinium trichloride. Cerium trichloride was used as the dopant. The physical, optical, and scintillation properties of these materials were analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, X-ray excited luminescence, and pulsed X-ray luminosity measurements. Increases in light yields are observed as the concentration of cerium increases. The highest light yields occurred at 20% cerium doping for both compounds. At larger concentrations neither compound formed, indicating a breakdown of the lattice with the addition of large amounts of cerium cations. At 20% cerium, LiGdCl<sub>4</sub> and NaGdCl<sub>4</sub> display scintillation light 3.6 times and 2.2 times the light yield of the reference material, YAlO<sub>3</sub> :Ce<sup>3+</sup> , respectively. Both emit in the ranges of 340-350 nm and 365-370 nm and display multiexponential decays with cerium-like decay components at 33 ns (LiGdCl<sub>4</sub>:Ce) and 26 ns (NaGdCl<sub>4</sub>:Ce).</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Keywords</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>X-ray diffraction; X-ray spectra; cerium; crystal structure; doping; gadolinium compounds; lithium compounds; photoluminescence; scintillation; sodium compounds; LiGdCl<sub>4</sub>:Ce; NaGdCl<sub>4</sub>:Ce; X-ray excited luminescence; cerium trichloride; cerium-like decay components; display multiexponential decays; display scintillation; doping; gadolinium trichloride; lithium chloride; photoluminescence; powder; pulsed X-ray luminosity measurements; sodium chloride; solid-state methods; time 33 ns; wavelength 340 nm to 350 nm; wavelength 365 nm to 370 nm; Cerium; Displays; Lithium compounds; Luminescence; Optical diffraction; Optical materials; Powders; Pulse measurements; Solid state circuits; X-ray diffraction; Cerium; decay time; gadolinium; luminescence; scintillators;</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>fLanguage</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>English</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Journal_Title</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>Nuclear Science, IEEE Transactions on</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Publisher</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>ieee</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>ISSN</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>0018-9499</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Type</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'><h2 class='mb-0 fw-semibold'>jour</h2></div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>DOI</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>10.1109/TNS.2009.2014375</div></div> </li> <li class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center mb-2'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fullRecLabelEnglish fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Filename</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'>5076120</div></div> </li> <div class='list-group-item border-0 py-3 px-0'> <div class='row g-0 align-items-center'><div class='col-12 col-md-3 fw-bold mb-2 mb-md-0'><span class='text-muted small'>Link To Document</span></div><div class='col-12 col-md-9 leftDirection leftAlign'><a class='text-break' href='https://search.isc.ac/dl/search/defaultta.aspx?DTC=49&DC=1080298' target='_blank' rel=$ https://search.isc.ac/dl/search/defaultta.aspx?DTC=49&DC=1080298
