The First Application of a Gd3Al2Ga3O12:Ce Single-Crystal Scintillator to Neutron Radiography

Neutron radiography is regarded as complementary to X-ray radiography in terms of transmittance through materials, but its spatial resolution is still insufficient. In order to achieve higher resolution in neutron imaging, several approaches have been adopted, such as optical magnification and event...
