Problems solved by technology

However, when growing crystals with a size above Φ38*38mm, the crystal yield (yield rate = number of crystals with good appearance / total number of crystals) is low when simply doping a cation, as shown in Table 1 (LaBr doped with cations) 3 The crystal quality, yield and energy resolution of the crystal) show: doping a kind of cation alone, the crystal quality is not good, there are many cracks and envelopes, doping with Sr 2+ and Ca 2+ 、Sr 2+ and Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ and Zr 4+ or Ca 2+ and Hf 4+ , the quality of the grown crystal also has more cracks and envelopes

Embodiment 1

[0022] X=0.005, Y=0.001,

[0023]The cerium-doped lanthanum bromide crystal raw material is a mixture of anhydrous lanthanum bromide and cerium bromide. Among them, 992.96 grams of lanthanum bromide, 5.04 grams of cerium bromide, 0.64 grams of strontium bromide and 1.32 grams of hafnium bromide with a raw material purity of 99% are added. Mix evenly in a glove box filled with high-purity nitrogen and put it into a quartz crucible, then block the nozzle of the quartz crucible with a quartz block, then seal the nozzle of the quartz crucible with epoxy resin, and take out the quartz crucible with raw materials Box, using a hydrogen-oxygen flame to melt and seal the nozzle of the quartz crucible. Put the packaged quartz tube into the descending furnace, and lower the quartz crucible head to the interface position between the upper temperature zone and the lower temperature zone, then raise the furnace temperature in the upper temperature zone to 800°C at 50°C / h, and lower the tem...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of scintillation crystal materials, in particular to a multi-ion doped large-size lanthanum bromide single crystal scintillator and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Scintillation crystals can be made into detectors, and have great application prospects in the fields of high-energy physics, nuclear physics, imaging nuclear medicine diagnosis, geological exploration, astrophysics, and safety inspection. With the rapid development of nuclear science and technology and other related technologies, its application fields are constantly expanding. Different application fields also put forward more and higher requirements for inorganic scintillators. Traditional NaI:TI, BGO and other scintillation crystals can no longer meet the special requirements of new application fields. [0003] People are exploring new and excellent scintillation crystals suitable for different application fields. These ne...
