Problems solved by technology

However, since the crucible and the growth raw material are in a mechanical transmission state, during the crystal growth process, the mechanical transmission will cause a large number of defects such as color bands and growth stripes in the crystal, which will seriously affect the quality of the crystal and is not conducive to the scale of high-quality fluoride single crystals.

Abstract

The invention discloses a rare earth ion-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystal and a growing method thereof. Ce3<+> or Eu3<+> or Tb3<+> ions are doped into an Na5Lu9F32 single crystal. The density of the crystal is large (5.85g / cm<3>), the maximum phonon energy is low (440cm / 1), luminous efficiency is high, and physical and chemical properties are stable. The single crystal is an excellent scintillating material. A method of up-shifting of a heating temperature field is used for crystal growing, and therefore the growing method has the advantages that equipment is simple, and practicability is high. The technology can overcome the defects of color bars, growth striations and others, caused by mechanical transmission, on the crystals, and the high-quality single crystal is easily obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rare earth ion doped fluoride single crystal, in particular to a rare earth ion doped Na 5 Lu 9 f 32 Single crystals and methods of growing them. Background technique [0002] Scintillation material is a photofunctional material that can emit visible light under the excitation of high-energy rays (such as x-rays, γ-rays) or other radioactive particles, and can be widely used in nuclear medicine diagnosis, security inspection, anti-terrorism, high-energy physics and geological exploration and other fields. In recent years, with the rapid development of fields such as medical imaging and security inspection, there is a large demand for new scintillation materials with high performance. [0003] As far as the current scintillation materials are concerned, there are mainly two kinds of materials: single crystal and glass. Scintillating glass has the characteristics of uniform rare earth doping, low cost, easy preparation of ...
