Problems solved by technology

[0010] By analyzing the convection conditions of the melt during the growth of lithium gadolinium borate crystals, it is found that when the diameter of the crystals increases to a certain extent, the forced convection of the melt will transfer the heat from the bottom of the crucible to the solid-liquid interface of crystal growth. The temperature at the center of the crystal growth is too high, so that the crystal growth cannot proceed, and even the grown crystal will be ablated, resulting in a concave interface, which makes the crystal growth interface flipped, so that the crystal cannot grow long, and the size of the crystal is limited.

Abstract

The invention discloses a growing method of lithium gadolinium borate crystal, relating to the field of crystal growth. The invention is characterized in that crystal growing material is developed by using a pulling method; the chemical formula of the lithium gadolinium borate crystal is Li6CexGd1-xB3O9, wherein, x is larger than 0 and is 0.1 at most; when the crystal is developed by using the pulling method, a special graphite in which the lower part is in arc shaped or the bottom is tapered serves as a growing graphite. The invention uses the special graphite and a post heating device to overcome the defect that the lithium gadolinium borate crystal developed by using the pulling method is easy to form a concave interface or is hard to grow into big diameter while common cylindrical graphite is used. The crystal developed by using the method has the advantages of big size, high optical quality and the like, can be used for neutron detection and can be used for detecting alpha, beta, gamma rays and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of crystal growth, in particular to a crystal growth method of lithium gadolinium borate crystal. Background technique [0002] Lithium gadolinium borate crystal (the molecular formula is Li 6 Ce x Gd 1-x B 3 o 9 ) detects neutrons by reacting the enriched lithium-6 or boron-10 or gadolinium-155 or gadolinium-157 isotopes in the crystal with neutrons, first reported by J.B.Czirr of the United States in 1996 as neutron detection scintillation Potential uses of crystals. As a new neutron detection scintillation crystal, Li 6 Ce x Gd 1-x B 3 o 9 Has the following advantages: [0003] (1) Elements containing Li, B and Gd three isotopes with large capture cross-sections for neutrons can choose different isotope enrichment combinations according to different detection requirements, and optimize the design of crystal components with higher detection efficiency , so the crystal has strong adaptability.
