Abstract

The invention relates to a silicon-ytterbium-ion-codoped YAG superfast scintillating crystal and a preparation method thereof. The chemical formula of the silicon-ytterbium-ion-codoped YAG crystal is Yb3xY3(1-x)Si5yAl5(1-y)O12, wherein x=0.05-0.3, y=0.0001-0.01, x is the doping amount of matrix Yb ions, y is the doping amount of Si ions, the Yb ions enter the crystal to replace Y ion sites, and the Si ions replace Al ion sites. The Yb3xY3(1-x)Si5yAl5(1-y)O12 superfast scintillating crystal prepared by the method is high in light yield, high in irradiation damage resistance, applicable to fields such as superfast pulse radiation detection, inertia confined fusion, space radiation detection and nuclear reaction kinetics researches, and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a scintillation crystal, in particular to a YAG ultrafast scintillation crystal co-doped with silicon ytterbium ion and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Inorganic scintillation crystals are crystalline energy converters that can convert the energy of high-energy photons (X / γ rays) or particles (protons, neutrons, etc.) into easily detectable ultraviolet / visible photons. Detectors made of scintillation crystals are widely used in high-energy physics, nuclear physics detection and imaging, imaging nuclear medicine diagnosis (XCT, PET), geological prospecting, astrospace physics, and security inspections. With the rapid development of nuclear detection and related technologies, the application fields of scintillation crystals continue to expand. Different application fields have put forward higher requirements on scintillation crystals. Traditional scintillation crystals such as NaI(Tl), BGO, PWO, etc. can n...
