Abstract
A method for directional search of crystalline scintillators with predetermined properties on sensitivity to γ and neutron emissions is proposed on the basis of Z-parameter variation as a function of the crystal host composition. Disordered fluoride crystal media are used as the host materials. Changes in the Z parameter for crystalline solid solutions of the mixed Li(Y1-xLux)F4 and Ba(Y1-xYbx)2F8 crystals within x-coefficients from 0 to 1 are calculated.
