Radiation resistance and fluorescence of europium doped BGO crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a study of the radiation resistance and fluorescence of bismuth germanate scintillation crystals doped with europium (BGO : Eu). The transmission spectrum, the light output and the fluorescence spectrum of BGO : Eu crystals were measured before and after irradiation . The radiation resistance of BGO : Eu crystals was found to be increased with increase of europium doping. A red fluorescence emission around 600 nm was found for BGO : Eu samples, which has a 1 .5 ms decay time .

A study on radiation damage in doped BGO crystals
We report on a study of the correlation between radiation damage of bismuth germanate (BGO) scmtillator crystals and trace impunties in the crystal . The light yield and the absorption spectra of doped BGO crystals were measured, both before and after irradiation . While trace concentrations of Cr, Mn, Fe and Pb m BGO were found to lead to substantial radiation damage, traces of Al, Ca, Cu and ...
متن کاملA Study on Radiation Damage in BGO and PWO-II Crystals
We report in this paper an investigation on radiation damage in 20 cm long BGO crystals produced at SIC as well as 20 cm long PWO-II crystals produced at BTCP for the proposed Panda experiment at GSI. The optical and scintillation properties of BGO and PWOII crystals, such as transmittance, light output and light response uniformity, were measured before and after γ-ray irradiations at differen...

A new scintillation crystal, cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate &SO) was recently discovered a, with light intensity 75 % of NaI(Tl), scintillation decay time of 12 ns (30%) and 42 ns (70%), effective Z of 66, and density of 7.4 glcc. The fast decay time and scintillation light output of LSO are superior to those of BGO for PET and the stopping power of LSO for 511 keV photons is only sligh...

In this study, Eu-doped CdSe nanoparticles with variable Eu3+ content were synthesized by a simple sonochemical method. Eu3+ substitution into the structure of CdSe resulted in a material with new physical properties, composition and morphology. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscop...
