Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of transparent scintillating ceramics, in particular to a lutetium aluminum garnet scintillating ceramic and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Scintillator is a functional material that can effectively absorb high-energy rays or particles (X, γ photons, accelerated charged particles, neutrons) and convert them into ultraviolet or visible light. The scintillation detector composed of it as the core device is widely used In the fields of high-energy physics and space research, imaging nuclear medicine (XCT and PET), and the rapidly developing industrial inspection and safety inspection. [0003] At present, the scintillator for industrial application is mainly single crystal, but the growth conditions of single crystal are harsh, the requirements for equipment are high, and the crystal growth rate is slow, which makes its production cost high. In addition, limited by t...
