Background technology
Along with the fast development of high energy physics, nuclear physics and Application of Nuclear Technology, inorganic scintillation crystal commonly used will be difficult to satisfy the needs of superelevation counting rate in measuring, and various countries are actively developing the research of novel fast flashing body in recent years for this reason.In conjunction with the ultrafast fall time of organic scintillator, the output of high light and the high-density of inorganic scintillation glass, the advantage of good resistance radiation damage, to obtain novel fast flashing glass, this is a research focus of present scintillation material preparation field.For example, the people such as C.Smith of U.S. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1994 are at Mat.Res.Soc.Proc., 1994, Vol.348, the article of delivering on the P209 is to be matrix with low-melting lead-Xi-fluorophosphate (PTFP), organic activators such as doping stilbene, POPOP, stilbene 420 use open glass carbon crucible, prepare the compound scintillation glass of organic and inorganic by a step scorification.These glass have the decay of luminescence speed (less than 1ns) that is exceedingly fast, but luminous a little less than.The domestic Zhao Hong of Northwestern Polytechnical University gives birth to and waits the people at Nucl.Instr.and Meth.A, 2000, Vol.448, P550 and Northwestern Polytechnical University's journal, 2000, Vol.18, No.2, the article of delivering on the P225 is to use uncovered ceramic crucible, also develops some organic activators (as p-TP, p-QP and POPOP etc.) doped P TFP organic and inorganic compound glass in succession by two step scorifications.But its fall time, about 5ns showed the Weak-luminescence characteristic.
Up to now, domestic also not about the report of fall time in the organic blended fast flashing glass preparation of subnanosecond level.
Summary of the invention
One of purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of organic blended lead-tin-fluorine-phosphate flash glass;
Another object of the present invention is to provide the preparation method of this scintillation glass.
Goal of the invention of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution:
In order to obtain the fast flashing material of fall time in the subnanosecond level, the present invention adopts p-terphenyl (p-TP) and 420 pairs of stilbenes to mix preparation PTFP (lead-tin-fluorine-phosphate) fast flashing glass.The prepared glass that goes out reaches 0.48ns fall time, is better than the fastest inorganic scintillator commonly used---BaF at present on luminescence decay time
2Crystal (its luminous fast, composition fall time be 0.6ns).And the density height of this kind glass is (greater than 4g/cm
3), chemical stability is good.

4Raw material mixes and grinds evenly.Earlier, allow crucible naturally cool to after the room temperature again with the preheating 10~15 minutes under 300~350 ℃ temperature of plated film high purity graphite crucible.To join through the abrasive of drying treatment in the crucible, crucible places 400 ℃ stove melt processed 0.5~1 hour.From stove, take out crucible, open crucible cover, do not add stilbene 420 when a large amount of white cigarettes are emerged, and the level of adding a cover shakes up, then crucible is placed 245 ℃ loft drier constant temperature to handle 5~20 minutes when having.Take out crucible once more from stove, adding p-TP also shakes up, and crucible is placed 245 ℃ vacuum drying oven, is incubated and takes out crucible after 3~5 minutes.Melt is injected the copper mould of 60 ℃ of insulations, treated to send into after melt solidifies in 60 ℃ of baking ovens insulation 10 minutes, mold cools down to room temperature, is obtained transparent ultrafast p-TP of subnanosecond level and 420 pairs of stilbenes and mixes the PTFP scintillation glass.
Adopt the prepared glass that goes out of the present invention, exciting down relatively at gamma-rays, light output is about 0.9% of plastic scintillator ST401; Aspect decay of luminescence speed, be better than at present the fastest commonly used inorganic scintillator for reaching 0.48ns the fall time of this kind glass
BaF
2Crystal (its luminous fast composition fall time be 0.6ns).This kind glass has also that melt temperature is low, density is high (greater than 4g/cm simultaneously
3), and series of advantages such as good optical performance and chemical stability.Therefore this p-TP and 420 pairs of stilbenes are mixed the big irradiation dose that PTFP glass is specially adapted to fields such as high energy physics, nuclear physics and nuclear technique, the measurement in the superelevation counting rate.
Aspect preparation technology, adopt and to add a cover plated film high purity graphite crucible, prepare the ultrafast p-TP of subnanosecond level and 420 pairs of stilbenes are mixed the PTFP scintillation glass by a step scorification.A step scorification that is adopted has simple, convenient advantage.Scintillation glass is founded and is carried out vacuum heat-preserving in the process, has improved the transmissivity of glass in ultraviolet-visible region.Crucible is added a cover in use, is convenient to reduce the component volatilization in the glass smelting process, can also be with NH

4The ammonia that thermal degradation produces is founded black SnO and the yellow PbO that generates because of oxidation in the process as the restitutive protection's gas in the glass smelting process with minimizing, reaches the purpose that improves the scintillation glass transmissivity.The plated film high purity graphite crucible that is adopted helps increasing the compactness of plumbago crucible, avoids graphite on the sidewall of crucible to come off and the impurity introduced; Because fluorine and phosphorus in the PTFP glass are extremely strong to the corrosive nature of crucible, with respect to the vitreous carbon crucible, plumbago crucible is more cheap, thereby can reduce the preparation cost of glass.
