Near-infrared scintillation properties of Nd-doped CaYAl3O7 single crystals
We prepared Nd-doped CaYAl3O7 single crystals with different Nd concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10, and 20% by the floating zone method. Photoluminescence (PL) and scintillation properties of all the samples were investigated, and the performance as near-infrared (NIR) scintillators was evaluated. All the samples exhibited some luminescence peaks of 4f-4f transitions of Nd3+ in PL and scintillation spectra at around 890, 1060, and 1300 nm. The 5.0% Nd-doped sample showed the highest PL quantum yield of 49.5%. In addition, the 5.0% Nd-doped sample had the highest scintillation intensity under X-ray irradiation among the samples, and the lowest detectable dose rate was 0.001 Gy/h.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
