title: Phosphors for luminescent image plates.
abstract: This is a review of the properties of some photostimulable phosphors for luminescent image plates as applied to digital radiography. In particular, the properties of BaFBr:Eu and other barium fluorohalides that are useful for this application are considered. The main emphasis of the review is on the effect of the preparative conditions and the origin of the photostimulated luminescence and its features under VUV excitation.
