Problems solved by technology

[0003] SCF phosphor screens such as CsI(T1) in the prior art, Ce:YAG / YAG and Ce:LuAG / YAG have the following disadvantages: (1) CsI(T1) and Ce: effective atomic number and density of YAG crystals are very small ( Y eff They are 54.1 and 32 respectively, and the density is 4.52g / cm 3 and 4.55g / cm 3 ), therefore, their absorption conversion efficiency for X-rays is low
(2) CsI(Tl) film is easy to deliquescence, and its light decay time is long (600ns), which is not suitable for fast real-time micro-X-ray imaging; (3) Although Ce:LuAG has a large effective atomic number and high density ( Y eff = 58.9, density = 6.67g / ce 3 ), but its light output is small (3000Ph / MeV), and the lattice mismatch between LuAG and YAG as the substrate is relatively large, which is not conducive to growing high-quality single crystal thin films on the substrate, which will Can seriously affect the optical performance of fluorescent screen; (4) there is afterglow phenomenon in the used scintillator of prior art; device and Si array peaks correspond to 600-1000nm)
