The chemical constitution formula of the rare earth silicate double salt scintillating material is M<3>RE<1-x>Ce<x>Si<3>O<9>, wherein x is a molar ratio of RE replaced by Ce, and x is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.3; M is selected from one or more of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs; RE is selected from one or more of La, Gd, Y and Lu. The scintillating material can emit strong fluorescence when being excited by X-ray; the luminescence wavelength is 320-580 nm; the fluorescence lifetime when the scintillating material is excited by ultraviolet is about 30 ns; the rare earth silicate double salt scintillating material can stably exist in the air, is excellent in physical and chemical stability and scintillation property, and has the practical application value.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of scintillation materials, and more specifically, to a rare earth silicate double salt scintillation material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique

[0002] Scintillation materials are luminescent materials that can produce high-efficiency fluorescence emission under the excitation of high-energy rays. Under the irradiation of X-ray, γ-ray or other charged particles, the scintillation material emits fluorescence, and the photosensitive device (such as photomultiplier tube, CCD, photodiode, etc.) converts the fluorescence emitted by the material into an amplified electrical pulse, Then it is recorded by electronic instruments to realize the detection of high-energy ray signals.

[0003] In recent decades, scintillation materials have been greatly developed due to their wide application in high-energy physics, high-energy ray, nuclear medical imaging, and industrial non-destructive detection...
