Problems solved by technology

However, the process of preparing photonic crystals by traditional nanoimprint technology includes the process of photoresist spin-coating and pattern transfer. This process is relatively complicated, and it faces serious challenges for plastic scintillators. The chemical reaction of the scintillator destroys the scintillator. Secondly, the ion beam etching and other processes used in the process of pattern transfer can easily destroy the plastic scintillator itself, resulting in a sharp drop in its luminous performance. Again, for some plastic scintillators with a thickness less than 1mm, The image transfer process is very easy to damage the scintillator, resulting in tearing or deformation of the scintillator

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for a photonic crystal plastic scintillator. A proper stamping template and needed plastic scintillators are selected; antistick processing is carried out on the template; thermal nanometer stamping is carried out on the plastic scintillators by utilizing the template after antistick processing; and the template is separated from the plastic scintillators after stamping to obtain the photonic crystal structure complementary with the template in figure. Compared with the prior art, figure transfer is not needed, the complex process of spin coating of photoresist and subsequent figure transfer as in most photonic crystal preparation process are avoided, and the whole preparation process is greatly simplified.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nuclear radiation measurement, in particular to a method for preparing a photonic crystal plastic scintillator. Background technique [0002] Plastic scintillator is an important member of the scintillator family, and has important applications in nuclear radiation measurement, especially neutron measurement, neutron gamma screening measurement and beta ray measurement. The refractive index of plastic scintillators is usually between 1.4 and 1.6. When scintillation light enters the air, it will encounter total reflection at the interface, thus limiting the effective output of light. An improved method to increase light output is to prepare photonic crystal structures on the surface of plastic scintillators, and use the coupling effect of total internal reflection light and photonic crystal structures to generate effective extraction modes, thereby increasing light output and improving the sensitivity of the detecti...
