Abstract

The invention relates to the field of crystals, in particular to a cerium-doped rare earth borate scintillating crystal and a Bridgman preparation method thereof. The chemical formula of the cerium-doped rare earth borate scintillating crystal is Li6Gd1-x-yYxCey(BO3)3, wherein the numeric range of x is from 0 to 0.9999, and the numeric range of y is from 0.0001 to 0.1. In the cerium-doped rare earth borate scintillating crystal of the invention, by partially replacing a Gd element with an element Y with approximate electronegativity and relatively smaller atomic number, the detection propertyof the gadolinium lithium borate crystal on neutrons is optimized and the raw material cost of crystal preparation is reduced. The Bridgman preparation method has the characteristics of simple processing equipment, low energy consumption, high production efficiency, low cost and the like, is convenient to operate and can realize industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of crystals, in particular to a cerium-doped rare earth borate scintillation crystal and a preparation method thereof by a crucible drop method. Background technique [0002] Neutron is an almost uncharged elementary particle. It has strong penetrating power, can identify light elements, especially elements such as hydrogen and lithium, distinguish neighboring elements, realize isotope replacement, detect atomic magnetic moment, and measure the dynamics inside materials. Features and other unique advantages. Effective and accurate detection of neutrons can realize the monitoring and research of the atomic reactor chain nuclear reaction process. It is a necessary means for military inspection and detection of the location and quantity of nuclear warheads of both the enemy and the enemy. The effective detection of low-density hidden objects such as neutrons is an important weapon in the fight against terrorism, smuggli...
