Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass scintillator material preparation technology, and in particular to a glass scintillator material with X-ray response properties, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Currently used classical scintillators (CsI:Tl, CdS, CsPbBr3) are limited by their poor stability and can only operate in relatively mild environments, such as medical imaging, industrial imaging, and security inspections, where they operate at room temperature, low humidity, and low doses. However, key national sectors such as aviation, maritime, and nuclear industries urgently require X-ray detectors that can operate in extremely harsh environments, necessitating the development of a scintillator capable of operating in extreme conditions (high temperature, high humidity, high light intensity, and high radiation).
[0003] Scintillation glasses, due to their dense and stable glass network structure, possess stability unmatched by other forms of scintillators (scintillation crystals, scintillation organics, scintillation ceramics), and have therefore received extensive research and attention from scholars both domestically and internationally. Currently developed scintillation glasses are mainly divided into perovskite microcrystalline glasses and rare-earth ion microcrystalline glasses. Although their stability issues have been resolved, the following four problems still need to be addressed to ensure their service in extreme environments: 1) Difficulty in uniform large-area preparation, involving complex nucleation thermodynamics and growth kinetics, making large-area uniform nucleation and growth challenging; 2) Low light yield, characterized by severe self-absorption effects (Pb-based), electron transition forbidden effects (ff transition rare-earth-based), energy loss due to defect traps, and narrow emission spectrum full width at half maximum (FWHM), all detrimental to light emission; 3) Poor resolution, due to the significant difference in composition between the glass phase and the luminescent phase in the scintillation glass, leading to excessive refractive index mismatch and exacerbating refraction and scattering of the light path; 4) High cost, containing expensive elements such as alkali metal Cs and rare-earth metals Ce and Tb.
[0004] In summary, optimizing large-area fabrication processes, increasing light yield, improving resolution, and reducing costs are pressing issues that need to be addressed in this field. Providing a truly luminescent glass X-ray detection material that can operate for extended periods in extreme environments is essential. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a glass scintillator material with X-ray response performance, its preparation method and application, to solve the problem that existing classical scintillators cannot be used in extreme and harsh environments, and that existing scintillating glasses, although highly stable, have problems such as difficulty in large-area preparation, low light yield, poor resolution and high cost.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This invention provides a method for preparing a glass scintillator material with X-ray responsive properties, comprising the following steps:
[0008] (1) Mix boron oxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, sodium carbonate, manganese source, sodium bromide and stannous oxide and react to obtain a molten glass solution;
[0009] (2) Cool the molten glass solution on a preheated mold to obtain a glass precursor;
[0010] (3) The glass precursor is annealed, polished and heat-treated in sequence to obtain a glass scintillator material with X-ray response performance.
[0011] Preferably, in step (1), the mass ratio of boron oxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, sodium carbonate, manganese source, sodium bromide and stannous oxide is 5-7:3-4:1.0-1.5:0.1-0.4:0.2-3:2-5:0.1-0.5.
[0012] Preferably, the manganese source in step (1) includes one or more of manganese bromide, manganese chloride, and manganese oxide.
[0013] Preferably, the reaction temperature in step (1) is 1200-1400℃ and the reaction time is 10-30 minutes.
[0014] Preferably, the temperature of the preheated mold in step (2) is 400-450°C.
[0015] Preferably, the annealing temperature in step (3) is 400-450°C and the annealing time is 2-5 hours.
[0016] Preferably, the heat treatment temperature in step (3) is 450-650°C and the heat treatment time is 5-25 hours.
[0017] The present invention also provides a glass scintillator material with X-ray responsive properties prepared by the above-mentioned method for preparing glass scintillator materials with X-ray responsive properties.
[0018] The present invention also provides an application of the above-mentioned glass scintillator material with X-ray response properties as an X-ray detection material.
[0019] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] 1. This invention employs a high-temperature melting and quenching method, utilizing the uniform thermal diffusion of ions in molten glass at high temperatures to form nucleation sites during the cooling process, inducing a nucleation process assisted by glass components (induced self-crystallization process). This avoids the time-consuming and laborious process of controlling the complex nucleation thermodynamics and kinetics of traditional microcrystalline glass scintillator materials, as well as the uneconomical addition of Cs sources. It can realize the preparation of large-area X-ray detection materials and reduce production costs. Furthermore, the preparation method described in this invention has the characteristics of simple operation, short time, and controllable thickness, which can greatly promote the industrial production of large-area X-ray detection materials.
[0021] 2. The preparation method described in this invention can produce X-ray detection materials with a detection limit below 159.5 μGy / s, a light yield above 3000 Photons / MeV, and a resolution of not less than 11.2 lp / mm. Compared to traditional glass-ceramics, the preparation method of the X-ray detection material described in this invention has an induced self-crystallization process, allowing it to emit light without heat treatment. Simultaneously, it ensures that the luminescent phase is uniformly dispersed within the glass, guaranteeing uniform luminescence. This method can produce X-ray detection materials with an area as high as 50.2 cm². 2 Large-area and highly stable glass scintillator materials with X-ray responsive properties enable them to serve for extended periods in extreme environments, expanding the application range of X-ray detection materials.
[0022] 3. The preparation method described in this invention enables the continuous and adjustable luminescence of the X-ray detection material, and the conversion from yellow light to orange light can be achieved by changing the concentration of luminescent ions (manganese ions).

[0057] Comparative Example 1
[0058] The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that no manganese source was added, resulting in a glass scintillator material with X-ray responsive properties at a concentration of 0.0%, denoted as 0.0% MnBr2.
[0059] Experimental Example 1
[0060] The glass scintillator materials with X-ray response properties prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-5 were subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. By observing the scattering and diffraction phenomena of X-rays with the crystalline phase atoms in the glass scintillator, and combining this with Bragg's law 2dsinθ=nλ, the composition and crystal structure of the glass scintillator materials were determined. Figure 1 As shown, from Figure 1 As can be seen, Comparative Example 1 did not exhibit crystallization characteristics due to the absence of a manganese source. However, as the concentration of manganese ions increased in Examples 1 to 5, the XRD peak values became higher and higher, showing increasingly stronger crystallization characteristics. This indicates that the addition of a manganese source induces glass crystallization.
[0061] Experiment Example 2
[0062] The glass scintillator materials with X-ray responsive properties prepared in Examples 1-5 were irradiated under natural light, 375nm ultraviolet light, and X-rays, respectively; Figure 2As shown, from the tail of the arrow to the tip, they are the glass scintillator materials of Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Figure 2 As can be seen, under natural light, the glass scintillator material prepared by this invention has high transparency, and the text behind the glass scintillator material can be clearly seen; under ultraviolet light, it can be seen that the glass scintillator material prepared by this invention can adjust the emission color of the glass scintillator material with the change of manganese ion concentration, proving that the glass scintillator material prepared by this invention has the characteristic of continuously adjustable emission; under X-rays, it can be seen that the glass scintillator material prepared by this invention has good emission uniformity, which is the primary prerequisite for the preparation of large-area glass scintillator materials.
[0063] Experimental Example 3
[0064] In this experiment, a fluorescence spectrometer (model FL3-21, manufactured by Horiba, Japan) was used to characterize the radiative luminescence properties of the glass scintillator materials. The glass scintillator materials with X-ray responsiveness prepared in Examples 1-5 were subjected to radiative luminescence (RL) spectroscopy. RL is the process by which electrons in a glass scintillator material, when excited by X-rays, transition from a low-energy ground state to a higher-energy excited state. Since electrons in the excited state are extremely unstable, they spontaneously transition back to the ground state and emit photons. For glass scintillator materials, stronger radiative luminescence is desirable. The test results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, from Figure 3 As can be seen, the glass scintillator material prepared in Example 3 is the optimal material, possessing the strongest radiative luminescence capability.
[0065] Experiment Example 4
[0066] The glass scintillator material with X-ray responsive properties prepared in Example 3 was subjected to high-temperature imaging stability testing. The materials had an area of 12.56 cm². 2 The glass scintillator material was heated from 25°C to 100°C, 200°C, 300°C, 400°C, and 500°C, and then, under X-ray excitation, unidentified objects behind the glass scintillator material were detected and imaged; for example... Figure 4 As shown, from Figure 4 As can be seen, the area is 12.56 cm². 2 The glass scintillator material exhibits excellent detection and imaging performance at 400℃, clearly revealing rod-shaped objects and Chinese knots. When the temperature reaches 500℃, the clarity decreases due to red background interference caused by blackbody radiation, but it can still present a certain imaging effect. This demonstrates that the large-area glass scintillator material prepared by this invention has extremely strong stability and can cope with large-area X-ray detection and imaging under extreme environments.
[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
