The present invention belongs to the field of
ceramic scintillators, and specifically discloses a heterovalent
ion co-doped garnet transparent scintillating
ceramic and a preparation method thereof; the
ceramic structure has the following general formula: (R x A 3‑x‑ y A y ')(B 5‑z B' z ) 12 ; Wherein: R represents an activating
ion and a sensitizer thereof, including at least one of Ce, Pr, Yb, and Cr elements; A is at least one of the
rare earth elements Gd, Y, and Lu; A' represents a
divalent cation, including at least one of the elements Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba; B is at least one of the elements Al, Ga, and Sc; B' represents a tetravalent cation Si; x ranges from 0.0005 to 0.1, y ranges from 0.00005 to 0.01, and z ranges from 0.00005 to 0.01. The present invention uses a heterovalent
ion to co-replace the balanced charge, so that the ceramic has the characteristics of high light yield, fast decay, and low
afterglow. The ceramic is prepared based on a high-energy ball milling method to prepare
powder, which is simple in process and can be
mass-produced.
