類型:頻譜品質優異、吸收效率高的多晶陶瓷
多晶陶瓷由於其獨特的性能而經常用於現代輻射探測系統。它的特點是具有緻密的結晶結構,並被描述為具有高光產額和優異的耐輻射性。其堅固性使得多晶陶瓷能夠在各種環境中可靠地使用,甚至在惡劣的條件下,例如太空任務、核子反應爐和醫學影像處理。然而,它們的複雜結構使得均勻的光收集變得困難,並導致閃爍響應的變化。因此,當需要無與倫比的精度時,這些陶瓷可能不是最佳選擇。另一方面,結晶是固體材料,其中結晶延伸到整個樣品,沒有晶界。這些閃爍器的特點是具有優異的能量解析度、均勻的響應、高光產量,並且可以精確控制。雖然結晶有潛力為高精度測量鋪平道路,但其使用受到限制,因為它們難以製造且成本高。此外,與陶瓷相比,結晶更容易受到輻射損壞,這會限制其在惡劣應用中的使用壽命,特別是在長時間暴露下。
材質:鉈摻雜碘化鈉,具有指數發光效率,多種尺寸和形式
碘化銫 (CsI) 是一種高密度、高 Z 材料,常用於製造高效能閃爍檢測器。 CsI閃爍器因其原子序數而表現出優異的阻止本領,相應的密度也有助於其強大的光產額。其主要限制是不具有獨特的光峰,需要摻雜其他元素才能獲得更好的效率。碘化鋰(LiI)是閃爍器的重要材料,兼具熱中子探測能力和優異的溫度穩定性。 LiI在無機閃爍器中具有最高的光輸出,並表現出優異的比例性。然而,由於它具有吸濕性,因此在常溫下使用存在問題。碘化鈉(NaI)因其成本效益和性能的最佳平衡而成為常用的無機閃爍器材料。儘管與其他材料相比,NaI 的光輸出較低,但它可以實現出色的解析度和有效的伽馬射線檢測。然而,眾所周知,NaI 具有吸濕性,必須封裝在氣密外殼中以防止吸濕。摻鉈碘化鈉 (NaI(Tl)) 是碘化鈉的改進版本,添加了微量鉈以改善閃爍性能。這種摻雜提高了材料的能量解析度並增加了其光產量。與普通 NaI 一樣,它具有吸濕性,但其性能優勢往往超過環境限制。硫化鋅(ZnS)具有優異的硬度和耐化學性,適合惡劣環境。閃爍能力很亮,但衰減時間很快,非常適合脈衝應用。 ZnS閃爍器在室溫下工作,可以用銀或銅進行修飾,以最佳化特定檢測方法的性能。
最終用途:無機閃爍器確保核能發電廠安全的潛力
在醫療產業,無機閃爍器在 X 光成像、電腦斷層掃描 (CT) 掃描、正子斷層掃描 (PET 掃描) 和單光子發射電腦斷層掃描 (SPECT) 等醫學成像技術中發揮重要作用。這些閃爍器極大地有助於準確採集診斷和後續治療所需的資料。提高檢測靈敏度將有助於減少患者和醫護人員的輻射暴露。此外,新技術正在提高閃爍器的時間解析度和結晶清晰度,突破了診斷成像的界限。無機閃爍器在國防安全保障和國防中的作用非常重要。閃爍器廣泛用於機場、港口和邊境的行李測試。配備這些閃爍器的輻射偵測設備可以找出可用於惡意目的的危險物質。它也用於國防領域的現場儀器,以檢測、識別和定位核輻射源。這有效地幫助保護了國家和人民免受潛在的核威脅。它在惡劣環境下高效運作的能力進一步擴大了其在這些領域的用途。核能發電廠的運作很大程度上依賴於高效、準確的輻射檢測和測量。無機閃爍器用於監測輻射水平並將其保持在安全限度內。此外,它是核能發電廠用於檢測和識別弱輻射源的各種診斷工具的重要組成部分。

Inorganic scintillators represent a distinct category of scintillators made from inorganic crystals, unlike organic scintillators, usually created from organic polymers. These materials exhibit luminescence when exposed to ionizing radiation, converting the energy of photons into visible light, which can then be measured and analyzed. Inorganic scintillators leverage their unique characteristics to find prevalence, spanning various sectors such as medical diagnostics, oil well logging, nuclear power plant safety, homeland security, and fundamental scientific research. The increasing demand for radiation therapy in healthcare and the growing need for nuclear power generation has accelerated the need for inorganic scintillators. The heightened global emphasis on security and the need for radiation monitoring in environmental protection contributes to the market's expansion. However, the performance limitations of inorganic scintillators and their hygroscopic nature impede their usage. Market players are working on introducing advanced and high-performing inorganic scintillators by addressing these limitations. As the world seeks cleaner energy sources, the potential resurgence of nuclear power could drive demand for advanced scintillators that offer improved performance in terms of stability, longevity, and radiation hardness.

Type: High absorption efficiency with excellent spectral quality of polycrystalline ceramics
Polycrystalline ceramics are frequently used in modern radiation detection systems due to their unique characteristics. Distinguished by their structured format of densely packed crystals, they offer high light yield and exceptional radiation hardiness. Due to their robustness, polycrystalline ceramics can be reliably used in various environments, even under extreme conditions, such as space missions, nuclear reactors, and medical imaging. However, their complex structure can prove difficult for uniform light collection, leading to fluctuations in the scintillating response. Consequently, these ceramics may not be the best option where unparalleled precision is necessary. Single-crystals, on the other hand, are solid materials where the crystal lattice spans the entire sample without grain boundaries. These scintillators stand out due to their excellent energy resolution, uniform response, and high light yield, which can be precisely controlled. While single crystals potentially pave the way for high-precision measurements, their utilization is limited as they are more labor-intensive to produce, which contributes to higher costs. Furthermore, they are more susceptible to damage from radiation as compared to their ceramic counterparts, especially under prolonged exposure, which can limit their lifespan in heavy-duty applications.
Material: Exponential luminescence efficiency and a wide variety of sizes and geometries of thallium-doped sodium iodide
Cesium Iodide (CsI) is a high-density, high-Z material that is commonly used to manufacture highly efficient scintillation detectors. CsI scintillators exhibit exceptional stopping power due to their atomic number, and the corresponding density contributes to their intensified light yield. Its main limitation is the lack of inherent photo peak, requiring it to be doped with other elements for better efficiency. Lithium Iodide (LiI) is an essential material for scintillators with both thermal neutron detection capabilities as well as excellent temperature stability. LiI possesses one of the highest light outputs among inorganic scintillators and shows excellent proportionality. However, its hygroscopic nature challenges its usage in ambient conditions. Sodium Iodide (NaI) is a commonly used inorganic scintillator material due to its optimal balance between cost-effectiveness and performance. Despite its lower light yield compared to other materials, it offers excellent resolution capabilities and efficient detection of gamma rays. Nevertheless, NaI is known for its hygroscopic characteristics, which necessitates it to be encased in an airtight housing to prevent moisture absorption. Thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) is an advanced variant of sodium iodide, which incorporates a trace amount of thallium to enhance its scintillating properties. This doping improves the material's energy resolution and increases its light yield. Though it shares the hygroscopic property of regular NaI, the performance benefits often outweigh the environmental restrictions. Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is distinguished by its exceptional hardness and chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments. The scintillation capability is vibrant but quick, with the fast decay time making it ideal for pulsing applications. ZnS scintillators can operate at room temperature and can be modified with silver or copper to optimize performance for specific detection methods.
Application: Potential of inorganic scintillators for ensuring the safety of nuclear power plants
In the healthcare industry, inorganic scintillators play a crucial role in medical imaging techniques such as X-ray imaging, computed tomography (CT) scans, positron emission tomography (PET scans), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). These scintillators contribute significantly to the precise capture of data that is integral for diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Enhanced detection sensitivity contributes to reduced radiation exposure to patients and healthcare professionals. Moreover, the advent of new technologies has led to improvements in the time resolution and crystal clearness of scintillators, which is pushing the boundaries of diagnostic imaging. The role of inorganic scintillators in homeland security and defense is significant. They are used extensively in radiation detection applications for screening luggage at airports, seaports, and borders. Radiological detection equipment equipped with these scintillators is capable of pinpointing hazardous materials that may be used for malicious purposes. In defense, they are also used in field equipment for detecting, identifying, and locating sources of nuclear radiation. This effectively helps in safeguarding the nation and the public from potential nuclear threats. Their capability to operate proficiently under harsh environments further amplifies their widespread usage in these sectors. The operation of nuclear power plants is heavily dependent on efficient and accurate detection and measurement of radiation. Inorganic scintillators are used for monitoring radiation levels and ensuring that they are maintained within safe limits. Furthermore, they form an essential part of the various diagnostic tools used in nuclear power plants for discovering and identifying weak radiation sources.
