Description

A rare earth iodate material and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a rare earth iodate material and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the field of direct X-ray detectors. Background Art

[0002] X-rays are widely used in numerous fields, including medical CT imaging, security inspections, industrial nondestructive testing, and national defense. Consequently, X-ray detectors have garnered significant attention from numerous research institutes and companies worldwide. Commercial scintillators are mostly fabricated into indirect X-ray detectors, where the detection signal is generated by converting the incident X-rays twice, through the scintillator and then the photodetector. As an alternative, direct detection using scintillating semiconductors (converting X-rays directly into electrical signals) holds greater potential for developing compact CT devices with high-quality X-ray imaging. Traditional semiconductors, such as crystalline silicon, germanium, and amorphous selenium, dominate commercial direct X-ray detection applications due to their compatibility with mature micro- and nanofabrication technologies. However, most commercial semiconductor materials currently suffer from intrinsic defects or material preparation challenges. Low-atomic-number materials, such as silicon, germanium, amorphous selenium, and diamond, exhibit weak X-ray cutoff, limiting their detection performance. Materials composed of heavy atoms, such as mercury iodide, cadmium telluride, and cadmium zinc telluride, have relatively small band gaps, making it difficult to suppress thermal noise, which exacerbates dark current and results in poor resistance to radiation damage. Therefore, it is of great significance to find a semiconductor scintillating material with a large atomic number, a large bandgap and stable physical and chemical properties.

[0003] Oxyiodates, products of halides and oxides, are a promising candidate for our research. Using high-atomic-number rare earth metal cations ensures the material's radiation-cutting capability. Rare earth iodates generally possess wide band gaps and stable physical and chemical properties.
