The development in crystal growth technology allows for the growth of high-quality single crystals of hygroscopic and mechanically fragile materials including SrI2 and LaBr3. Scintillators based on these materials exhibit excellent performance and push the limits of inorganic scintillators. These results motivate intense research of a large variety of halide-based scintillators. Moreover, materials based on lead halide perovskites find applications in the fields of photovoltaics, solid-state lighting, and lasers. The first studies show also the significant potential of lead halide perovskites as ultrafast scintillators in the form of nanocrystals. The purpose of this review is to summarize the research and developement in the field of halide scintillators during the last decade and highlight perspectives for future development.
