Abstract
This study explored the luminescence properties and sensitivity of a flexible scintillator composed on polydimethylsiloxane integrated with Lu2GdAl3Ga2O12 doped with 1 mol% Pr2O3 phosphors. The flexible scintillator was fabricated using a molding technique. The luminescence properties were investigated under photo, proton, and X-ray excitation at room temperature. The scintillator exhibited sharp and narrow emission peaks attributed to f-f transitions, and a decay time of 14 s. It demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.638 C/Rcm3 under an X-ray dose of 1.841 R. This study demonstrates a high performance flexible scintillator suitable for advanced radiation detection applications in medical imaging and safety monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
