β-k 2 so 4 Structured orthophosphate scintillator material and its preparation method and application

Abstract

The invention discloses an orthophosphate scintillator material with a beta-K2SO4 (potassium sulfate) structure and a preparation method and application thereof. A chemical formula is A1+xB1-2xLnxPO4, wherein A is K<+> and Rb<+>; B is Sr<2+> and Ba<2+>; Ln is Ce<3+>; x is the content of substituted matrix B doped with the ion Ce<3+>, and x is smaller than or equal to 0.09 and is greater than or equal to 0. The orthophosphate scintillator material has the advantages that the chemical stability is good, and the easiness in moisture degrading is avoided; the ultraviolet light of 325-400nm is transmitted under the exciting action of ultraviolet light, the light emitting service life is short and is 23+ / -3ns, and the heat stability is excellent (T50% less than 500K); by regulating the KSrPO4 into the KBaPO4, the Ba (barium) element with large atom sequence can improve the absorbing efficiency of matrix on the high-energy X-ray, so that the light output intensity of the material under the radiation function of the X-ray is obviously enhanced; the fluorescent service life is short, and the heat stability is good; the scintillator material is expected to use as the novel scintillator material to be applied into high-energy physics and nuclear medical imaging techniques; especially, the scintillator material can be applied to radioactive detection devices under the high-temperature environments in oilfield well exploration (industrial exploration) and the like.
