Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a photonic crystal scintillator by using a polymer template. The preparation method comprises four steps of preparation of a polymer microballoon array on the surface of the scintillator, reactive ion beam etching, coating of a cover layer, and removal of the microballoon to prepare and obtain a corresponding photonic crystal with an inverse opal structure of a medium material, that is to say to obtain a transparent medium with high refractive index and hexagonal periodical hole structure on the surface of the scintillator. Compared with the prior art, the photonic crystal prepared by the invention has large area and large refractive index contrast, has no polymer component, can guarantee enough light extraction efficiency, and can guarantee enough anti-radiation performance in the nuclear radiation environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nuclear radiation detection, in particular to a method for preparing a photonic crystal scintillator by using a polymer template. Background technique [0002] Scintillation detection systems have important applications in nuclear physics experiments, high-energy physics experiments, nuclear medical imaging, security inspections, astrophysics, and cosmic ray detection, and are an important method for detecting high-energy rays and particles. The core functional material in the system is the scintillator, which absorbs the energy of nuclear radiation and converts it into visible light or near-ultraviolet light. The properties of the scintillator strongly influence the detection capability of the detection system. [0003] Since most inorganic scintillators have a high refractive index (n=1.8-2.5), the luminescence inside the scintillator will produce serious internal total reflection phenomenon at the exit interfac...
