September 21, 2016 PhD thesis on «Radiation-stimulated processes in dielectric crystals europium activated NaI and CsI» was defended by junior scientific researcher of the Institute for Scintillation Materials Sergei Vasyukov. Supervisor — Corr. of NAS of Ukraine, Ph.D. O.V. Hektin. Specialty is 01.04.10 — physics of semiconductors and dielectrics.
The thesis is devoted to the basic mechanisms of energy relaxation of ionizing radiation in dielectric matrices on the example of model crystals NaI and CsI, co-activated and activated by europium and thallium ions; search for possible ways to improve the efficiency of scintillation materials by reducing the loss of non-radiative energy relaxation channels.
Congratulations to the applicant and wish continued success!
