✦ Synopsis

High efficiency and reasonably fast decay time of NaI:Eu crystal point out the possibility of crystal application as scintillator. Modification of crystal properties by varying the activator concentration and heat treatment conditions enabled the identification the solid solution instability. Structure of activator centers varies considerably, resulting in a change of the luminescence intensity and spectral characteristics.
