Synthesis and scintillation properties of Tb3+-Activated tellurite glass-ceramics
In this study, Tb3+-doped tellurite-germanate glass-ceramics containing BaGdF5 nanocrystals were successfully fabricated via the construction of a Gd3+- Tb3+ energy transfer system. The microstructure and optical properties were systematically investigated. Through characterization techniques including DTA, XRD, and SEM, the optimal heat treatment condition was determined to be 880 °C for 1 h, under which BaGdF5 nanocrystals homogeneously precipitated in the glass matrix. Under 378 nm ultraviolet excitation, the glass-ceramics exhibited intense green emission at 545 nm, with a luminescence intensity approximately 100 % higher than that of the precursor glass. X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) tests revealed that the optimized glass-ceramics achieved an integral emission intensity of 72.6 % compared to a commercial BGO crystal. Moreover, the sample demonstrated excellent radiation stability, with only a 20 % decrease in luminescence intensity after 180 min of continuous X-ray irradiation. This study confirms that the Tb3+-doped tellurite-germanate glass-ceramics combine high luminescence efficiency with superior radiation resistance, showing significant potential for applications in slow-event X-ray detection.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
