Growth and High Resolution X-Ray Imaging of Inch-Size (C24H20P)2MnBr4 Single Crystalline Film
Organometallic halides have shown great potential in X-ray imaging. However, problems such as poor uniformity, low transmittance and light scattering of polycrystalline thin film scintillator screens seriously reduce the X-ray imaging resolution. In this paper, inch-size (C24H20P)2MnBr4 single crystalline film was prepared by the space confinement method, and the phase, optical and scintillation properties were studied. This crystal exhibits a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 90% and excellent photostability. After continuous irradiation of the crystal with 365 nm ultraviolet light for 24 h, its spectrum remains stable. Based on the excellent optical properties of this crystal, a high light yield of 83 000 photons/MeV (estimated value) is generated under X-rays, which is 2.5 times higher than that of commercial LYSO scintillator. In addition, this crystal exhibits excellent radiation stability and maintains its performance stability even after being exposed to a high dose rate of 504 mGy·s-1 for 60 min. Based on the above advantages, the (C24H20P)2MnBr4 single crystalline film is applied into X-ray imaging, achieving a spatial resolution of approximately 23 lp/mm, demonstrating great application potential in this field.
