Scintillation properties of CsI:Tl and CsI:In single crystals grown by the inverse temperature crystallization method
摘要
Thallium- and indium-doped cesium iodide (CsI:Tl and CsI:In) were synthesized by the inverse temperature crystallization method and were comprehensively evaluated for their optical and scintillation properties. CsI:Tl crystals exhibited a broad emission band peaking at 550 nm, attributed to the 3P1–1S0 transitions of Tl+ ions, with high photoluminescence quantum yield (~ 99.9%) and scintillation light yield (LY, 45,000 photons/MeV). CsI:In samples exhibited an emission peak centered at 550 nm, attributed to the 3P1–1S0 transitions of In+ ions, with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (~ 96.7%) and medium scintillation LY (8,100 photons/MeV).
