Abstract

The precursor of Gd₂O₂S:Pr,Ce powders with stacked layered structure was synthesized in hot water bath using oxide powders and concentrated sulfuric acid as raw materials. The powders were synthesized by calcining the precursor under flowing H₂ atmosphere at 500–900 °C for 3 h. The influence of calcination temperatures under hydrogen atmosphere, which was defined as reduction temperature, on the microstructures and properties of powders was investigated. Using the synthesized powders as initial material, Gd₂O₂S:Pr,Ce scintillation ceramics with high relative density (over 98 % of the theoretical value) were fabricated through vacuum pre-sintering at 1350 °C for 3 h followed by HIP post-treatment in an argon atmosphere at 1450 °C for 3 h. Intense green emission line at 511 nm due to the ³P₀→³H₄ transition of Pr³⁺ was obtained in the X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) spectra of all Gd₂O₂S:Pr,Ce ceramics. The Gd₂O₂S:Pr,Ce ceramics fabricated from powders synthesized at 700 °C showed the highest optical transmittance, XEL intensity, and light yield (LY) value of 24,660 ph/MeV @ 662 keV γ rays. The photoluminescence decay time of Pr³⁺ ³P₀ → ³H₄ transition and scintillation decay time were measured to be ∼3 μs for all Gd₂O₂S:Pr,Ce ceramics. The effect of reduction temperature on optical transmittance and LY of Gd₂O₂S:Pr,Ce ceramics was also discussed.

氢气环境下的粉末煅烧温度对 Gd2O2S:Pr,Ce 闪烁陶瓷微观结构和性能的影响

以氧化物粉末和浓硫酸为原料，在热水浴中合成了具有叠层结构的 Gd2O2S:Pr,Ce 粉末前驱体。研究了氢气环境下煅烧温度（即还原温度）对粉末微观结构和性能的影响。以合成的粉末为初始材料，在 1350 摄氏度下真空预烧结 3 小时，然后在 1450 摄氏度的氩气环境中进行 HIP 后处理 3 小时，制备出了具有高相对密度（理论值的 98% 以上）的 Gd2O2S:Pr,Ce 闪烁陶瓷。在所有 Gd2O2S:Pr,Ce 陶瓷的 X 射线激发发光（XEL）光谱中，都能看到 511 纳米波长处因 Pr3+ 的 3P0→3H4 转变而产生的强烈绿色发射线。用在 700oC 下合成的粉末制造的 Gd2O2S:Pr,Ce 陶瓷显示出最高的透光率、XEL 强度和光产率（LY）值（24,660 ph/MeV @ 662 keV γ 射线）。所有 Gd2O2S:Pr,Ce 陶瓷的 Pr3+ 3P0 → 3H4 转变的光致发光衰减时间和闪烁衰减时间均为∼3 μs。此外，还讨论了还原温度对 Gd2O2S:Pr,Ce 陶瓷的透光率和 LY 的影响。

期刊介绍： Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties. Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour. Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
