Abstract
The present invention relates to devices for detecting radiation by the excitation of colloidal nanocrystals within a porous article and methods of using same. The aforementioned device is inexpensive and can be fabricated quickly in order to detect radiation. Due to the use of colloidal nanocrystals which have been known to have a decay constant of under 100 ps when energetic electrons produced by an incident x-ray excite the nanocrystals, this device can be used in fast radiation detection of x-rays.
