Problems solved by technology

[0004] In 1988, the world's first scintillation transparent ceramic (YGO) was manufactured by GE Company of the United States, but its decay time was long (about 1ms), which could no longer meet the current requirements of medical CT for fast scanning; in the 1990's, GE Company devoted itself to GGG (Gadolinium gallium garnet) scintillation ceramic research and development, but there is still no relevant commercial report, mainly because this material is difficult to prepare, and the prepared products have many defects, which will reduce the luminous efficiency

preparation example Construction

[0069] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method of the scintillation transparent ceramic system with garnet structure includes the steps of batching, drying, burning, molding, sintering, annealing, etc.:

[0070] 1) Ingredients: Commercially available raw materials with a purity of more than 99.99% or below the micron level are used, and there is no need to reprocess the raw materials, which can save costs and facilitate industrialization. Precise batching is carried out according to the above structural formula, and uniform mixing is carried out on a high-energy planetary ball mill. The medium used includes but is not limited to deionized water, absolute ethanol, acetone, glycerin or a combination thereof. The ball mill tank and balls used are PTFE products, such burning can remove organic impurities (PTFE, etc.) and effectively avoid the doping of impurity ions. In order to improve the efficiency of ball milling, we design the ball diameter ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of rare earth transparent ceramic products, in particular to a scintillation ceramic material system with a garnet structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Scintillation material is a key component of modern high-energy detectors. It can convert high-energy X-rays into visible light, match with optical sensors (such as photomultiplier tubes, etc.), and finally convert them into electrical signals, and convert the information carried by X-rays into digital signals ( picture) is presented. [0003] After more than 20 years of research and development, a variety of scintillation ceramics have replaced single crystals in the field of nuclear medical imaging. Compared with single crystals, scintillation ceramics have simple preparation process, low cost, easy mass production, and high concentration of activated ions. Doping and other advantages, has broad commercial application prospects. ...
