摘要
The urgent demand for radiation detection in diverse applications boosts extensive investigations on scintillators. However, the current scintillating materials are mostly limited to mono-crystals with high cost, restricted volume and time-consuming fabrication techniques. Here, we report an efficient and transparent Tb3+-doped Sr2GdF7 glass ceramic (GC) prepared via simple melt-quenching method, and its optical response to X-ray. By incorporating Tb3+ into crystallized Sr2GdF7 inside a typical aluminosilicate glasses, highly enhanced green emission was observed under UV and X-ray excitation. After thermal treatment, the internal and external photo-luminescence quantum yields can be as high as 59.1 and 26.4%, respectively, with the high transparency (65%@550 nm) preserved. More interestingly, this composite material, combining the advantages of oxide glasses and fluoride crystals, presents strong X-ray excited luminescence (XEL). Its XEL intensity is 194% of that of commercial BGO scintillator. Evidenced by detailed optical and structural properties, it can be concluded that rare earth ions activated bulk oxyfluoride glass ceramics with unique merits, such as low-cost, high efficiency and intense radio-luminescence, could be alternative scintillating materials for high energy ray detection.
