Growth and Properties Study of LaBr3∶Ce,Sr Scintillation Crystal
In this paper, 25 mm lanthanum bromide scintillation crystals with 5%Ce3+ and different Sr2+ doping concentrations (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% in molar ratio) were successfully grown by spontaneous nucleation vertical Bridgman method. Xray excited emission spectra, transmission spectra and pulse height spectra of these crystals were measured. Results show that, the emission spectra waveform of LaBr3∶Ce crystals with different Sr2+ doping concentrations is basically consistent under Xray excitation, and the emission peak shows a significant red shift compared with that of sample without Sr2+ doping. With the increase of Sr2+doping concentration, the emission peak of LaBr3∶Ce,Sr crystal shows a slight red shift. There is no obvious absorption peak range from 350 to 800 nm of LaBr3∶Ce,Sr crystals with different Sr2+ doping concentrations. Compared with LaBr3∶Ce crystals, transmittance of 0.3% and 0.5% Sr2+doped LaBr3∶Ce crystals decrease. In addition, with the increase of Sr2+doping concentration, the energy resolution of the crystal increases correspondingly. LaBr3∶Ce,0.5%Sr crystal has the highest energy resolution of 2.99%@662 keV. The energy resolution of the encapsulated LaBr3∶Ce,0.5%Sr crystal with size of 25 mm×25 mm is 2.93%@662 keV.
