Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of crystal materials, and in particular relates to a controllable growth device and method for large-size perovskite structure cesium copper iodide single crystal (Cs3Cu2I5 crystal). Background Art
[0002] As the core technology of nuclear radiation monitoring equipment, nuclear radiation detector technology provides core components and technical support for radiation monitoring equipment through the development and application of new radiation-sensitive materials, special processes, and measurement methods. Due to the high fluorescence quantum efficiency and scintillation luminescence efficiency of halide scintillator crystals, they play an important role in high-energy physics, medical imaging, nuclear test monitoring, and geological exploration. The most commonly used detector for radionuclide identification equipment is NaI:Tl. Although the NaI:Tl detector is relatively cheap, its light yield is low and its energy resolution is poor, which restricts the identification time and accuracy of the equipment. In addition to NaI:Tl, the expensive LaBr3:Ce meets the requirements of high light yield and energy resolution, but is limited by its own radiation background and strong deliquescent properties, which restricts the identification ability and long-term stability of the equipment in low-activity scenes.
[0003] Among many new radiation-sensitive materials, iodine copper cesium is a zero-dimensional metal halide scintillator with outstanding advantages such as wide spectrum emission, no self-absorption, high luminous efficiency, high energy resolution, high irradiation stability, low defect quenching probability, and non-deliquescent, and has attracted much attention in nuclear science research. The light yield of this crystal under X-ray and gamma-ray excitation can reach 30,000ph / MeV, and it has an excellent energy resolution of 3.4%@662keV. This crystal is expected to replace the NaI:Tl and LaBr3:Ce energy spectrum detectors currently in service in our army, and become a new generation of scintillator detectors that support the performance improvement and leap forward of nuclear radiation monitoring equipment.
[0004] Compared with other forms of materials, crystalline materials have the advantages of three-dimensional long-range order, no grain boundaries, good stability, etc. They can maximize the intrinsic properties of the reaction materials and are the preferred carriers of various functional devices. In recent years, the main growth methods for iodine copper cesium single crystals are volatilization method and cooling growth method. However, the crystal growth rate of the volatilization method is uncontrollable, and it is not easy to obtain large-sized and high-quality crystals. The cooling method has the disadvantages of a long growth cycle and the long-term use of acid solution, which is easy to corrode the growth equipment.
[0005] Chinese patent CN118422338A (application number CN202410637712.8) discloses a method for preparing a high-quality large-size Cs3Cu2I5 single crystal scintillator, which mixes CsI, CuI, DMF or DMSO and an acidic additive to obtain a precursor solution. The precursor solution is placed in a water bath at 30-50°C, kept warm and stirred for 5-30 minutes, configured into a nearly saturated solution, filtered and collected, and sealed with a sealing film with 1-8 pores of 1 mm, and placed in a constant temperature box at 30-50°C for evaporation and crystallization. When the liquid level is about to submerge the bottom but not submerged, take out the crystal, wash and dry it to obtain a high-quality large-size Cs3Cu2I5 single crystal. However, this method still belongs to the volatilization method, the crystal growth rate is uncontrollable, and multiple seed crystal nucleation points are easily formed, and the success rate of preparing high-quality large-size Cs3Cu2I5 single crystals is low.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a controllable growth device and method for large-size perovskite structure cesium copper iodide single crystal (Cs3Cu2I5 crystal) to overcome the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

The solution was placed on a heating table and stirred at room temperature until the solution became colorless and transparent.
[0058] (2) Filter the clear solution using 0.1 μm filter paper and transfer the filtered solution into a 100 ml glass beaker.
[0059] (3) The resulting solution was sealed with plastic wrap and sealing film at the same time, three holes were pierced on the top of the beaker with a needle, and the beaker was placed in a 500 ml glass beaker containing dichloromethane anti-solvent, and the glass beaker was sealed with plastic wrap and sealing film at the same time.
[0060] (4) As the antisolvent diffuses into the growth solution, the solution gradually reaches saturation, and crystals begin to nucleate and precipitate to grow. When the liquid level is about to cover the top of the beaker but has not yet covered it, the crystals are taken out.
[0061] (5) Wash the crystal with ethanol and place it in a vacuum drying oven to dry it, thereby obtaining a small-sized Cs3Cu2I5 single crystal.
[0062] Example 3
[0063] A method for growing large-size perovskite-structured copper iodine-cesium crystals, using a controlled antisolvent diffusion method, comprises the following steps:
[0064] (1) CsI and CuI raw materials were dissolved in 300 ml of DMF at a molar ratio of 3:2 to prepare a Cs3Cu2I5 precursor solution with a concentration of 0.5 mol / L. 10 ml of H3PO2 was added to the solution. The solution was placed on a heating table and heated and stirred at 40°C until the solution became colorless and transparent.
[0065] (2) Filter the clear solution using 0.1 μm filter paper and transfer the filtered solution into a growth chamber.
[0066] (3) The grower is placed in the growth device of the invention in Example 1, and the seed crystal obtained in Example 2 is placed in a growth bottle to grow crystals by the temperature-controlled and speed-controlled anti-solvent method. The temperature of the growth device is set to 40°C.
[0067] (4) Slowly introduce dichloromethane vapor into the Cs3Cu2I5 precursor solution, and adjust the antisolvent content and the supersaturation of the solution by controlling the flow rate of the carrier gas to grow crystals. The carrier gas flow rate is continuously adjusted according to the size of the crystals, and the initial carrier gas flow rate is 1 cm 3 / sec.
[0068] (5) After a 20-day growth period, large-sized transparent Cs3Cu2I5 crystals can be obtained.
[0069] The crystal growth process of this experiment is shown in the following figure. Figure 3 shown.
[0070] The crystal size is 40×30×20mm. 3 ,like Figure 4 shown.
[0071] Example 4
[0072] The method for growing large-sized Cs3Cu2I5 single crystals is as described in Example 3, except that the solution concentration is 0.52 mol / L, the seed crystal is fixed on the seed crystal rack, and the seed crystal rack is connected to a rotating motor, the seed crystal rotation speed is 30 rpm / min, and the temperature of the growth device is set to 38°C.
[0073] Test Example 1
[0074] The crystal obtained in Example 3 was processed and polished. Figure 5 As shown, a series of transparent, crack-free, inclusion-free, high-quality single wafers of different sizes were obtained.
[0075] The DSC curve of the crystal obtained in Test Example 3 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 It can be seen that the melting point of Cs3Cu2I5 single crystal is 391℃, the crystallization point temperature is 327℃, and the eutectic temperature is 352℃, which has good stability.
[0076] The single crystal obtained in Example 3 was subjected to solid ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. The absorption cutoff edge of the crystal was 340nm and the band gap was 3.65eV. Figure 7 shown.
[0077] The single crystal obtained in Example 3 was subjected to fluorescence spectrum test. Figure 8 As shown, the fluorescence emission peak position of the crystal is at 438 nm, and the excitation peak position is at 335 nm.
[0078] Comparative Example 1
[0079] Cs3Cu2I5 single crystals were grown by temperature- and rate-controlled antisolvent diffusion method. The concentration of the growth solution affected the growth of the crystal.
[0080] The concentration of the iodine copper cesium solution in the growth solution is 0.1-0.7 mol / L, and the carrier gas flow rate is 0.1-80 cm 3 / sec, the lower the concentration of the growth solution, the more carrier gas with anti-solvent needs to be introduced, and the size of the grown single crystal is smaller than that of the crystal grown by the high concentration growth solution, but the quality of the grown crystal remains consistent.
[0081] If the carrier gas flow rate is too high, exceeding 80 cm 3 / sec, the amount of anti-solvent introduced into the crystal growth solution will be too high and the quality of the grown crystals will be poor.
[0082] Comparative Example 2
[0083] There are many types of anti-solvents introduced into the Cs3Cu2I5 crystal growth solution, and a solvent that is volatile and can reduce the solubility of the growth solution is selected.
[0084] Selecting dichloromethane, ethanol, methanol, toluene, acetonitrile, isopropanol, chlorobenzene or a mixed solvent of two or more of the above solvents in any proportion as the anti-solvent can grow suitable crystals.
[0085] If the anti-solvent is not suitable, it will be difficult to grow crystals.
[0086] Comparative Example 3
[0087] When 0.1% to 1% H3PO2 is added to the Cs3Cu2I5 precursor solution, the reducing agent content is too low. - It is easily oxidized to form I2 and polyiodide ions (I 3- ), Cu + Easily oxidized to Cu 2+ , which causes Cs3Cu2I5 to be easily oxidized.
[0088] When 7% to 20% H3PO2 is added to the Cs3Cu2I5 precursor solution, the reducing agent content is too much, the solution viscosity increases, and phosphate is easily generated in the later crystal growth process, which is not conducive to the growth of Cs3Cu2I5 single crystals.
