Abstract
Al2O3–GeO2 glasses doped with Bi2O3 (0.1 %, 0.5 %, and 1.0 %) were fabricated for the development of near-infrared scintillators. The Bi2O3-doped Al2O3–GeO2 glasses showed a broadband emission peaking at approximately 1100–1200 nm in photoluminescence, and the broadband emission should be related to the 3P1→3P0 transition of Bi+. Furthermore, the broad peak was also detected at approximately 1100 nm under X-ray radiation, and the 0.1 % Bi2O3-doped Al2O3–GeO2 glass showed the highest photoluminescence and scintillation intensity. Moreover, the near-infrared scintillation performance was investigated using a InGaAs photodiode, and the minimum measurable dose rate of the 0.1 % Bi2O3-doped Al2O3–GeO2 glass was about 25 mGy/h that was lower than that of some inorganic single crystals such as SrY2O4:Nd.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids is a well-established international medium for publication of archival research in condensed matter and materials sciences. Areas of interest broadly include experimental and theoretical research on electronic, magnetic, spectroscopic and structural properties as well as the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of materials. The focus is on gaining physical and chemical insight into the properties and potential applications of condensed matter systems.
Within the broad scope of the journal, beyond regular contributions, the editors have identified submissions in the following areas of physics and chemistry of solids to be of special current interest to the journal:
Low-dimensional systems
Exotic states of quantum electron matter including topological phases
Energy conversion and storage
Interfaces, nanoparticles and catalysts.
