摘要
Ce3+掺杂的钾冰晶石结构的卤化物闪烁晶体因具有优异的闪烁性能,得到了广泛的关注。本文采用坩埚下降法成功制备了1英寸高质量Ce3+掺杂Cs2LiLa(Br,Cl)6闪烁晶体。通过X射线衍射谱、EDS、X 射线光电子谱等手段对Cs2LiLa(Br,Cl)6∶Ce晶体的晶体结构和组分进行了分析,结果表明Cl-成功掺入基质材料后晶体结构未发生明显变化。光致发光荧光光谱、X射线激发发射光谱、紫外荧光衰减等结果表明,Cl-掺杂后未产生新的发光中心,紫外衰减时间约为28 ns。最后测试了晶体在137Cs@662 keV的伽马源和252Cf源下的能谱,发现晶体具有优异的能量分辨率(4.2%@662 keV)和中子甄别性能(FOM值达到1.9),在核辐射探测领域具有巨大的应用前景。
Abstract
Because of the excellent scintillation performance, halide scintillation crystals with elpasolite structure doped with Ce3+ have been attracted wide attention. In this paper, high-quality Ce3+ doped Cs2LiLa(Br,Cl)6 scintillation crystal with 1-inch size has been prepared successfully by Bridgman method. The crystal structure and composition of Cs2LiLa(Br,Cl)6∶Ce crystals were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, EDS, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that the Cl- was successfully introduced into the matrix material and the crystal structure was unchanged. The photoluminescence spectra, X-ray excited emission spectra, and ultraviolet fluorescence decay results show that Cl- doping did not have a significant effect on luminescence center. It still has a fast decay time of 28 ns. The energy spectra of the crystal were measured under 137Cs@662 keV gamma source and 252Cf source. It was found that the crystal had excellent energy resolution (4.2%@662 keV) and neutron discrimination performance (FOM value is 1.9), which had great application prospects in the field of nuclear radiation detection.
