The past half-century has witnessed the discovery of many new scintillator materials and numerous advances in our understanding of the basic physical processes governing the operation of inorganic scintillators. These developments are reviewed briefly, but then the question arises-what about today and tomorrow? Have we exhausted luminescence phenomena and the periodic table in our search for improved scintillator materials? Properties of both intrinsic and activated scintillator materials, crystalline and amphorous, are considered. Several fundamental limits of scintillator performance are examined together with the prospects for discovering better scintillators guided by first-principles theoretical calculations of the processes active in scintillation.
