Scintillators are materials that emit visible photons when bombarded by high-energy particles (X-ray, γ-ray, electrons, neutrinos, etc.) and are crucial for applications, including X-ray imaging and high-energy particle detection. Here, we show that one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal (PhC) caviti...
