inorganic scintillation
are insulators. The band gap is greater than 5 eV making the light emitted of too high energy (shorter wavelength). To reduce the energy, an activator impurity is added to the crystal.

In some designs (especially ionization chambers), both electrodes can be positioned in the gas, separate from the gas pressure vessel.
