Abstract

An improved (Gd.sub.1-x Tb.sub.x).sub.2 O.sub.2 S X-ray phosphor, wherein x is from 0.0003 to 0.0045, and persistence causing impurity ions are kept below 5 ppm, exhibits increased brightness in the blue region of the spectrum, while exhibiting acceptably low persistence for X-ray intensifying screen applications.
