5 Scintillation: How does it work? Conduction Band Excitation X-rays γ-rays X or γ Absorption Luminescent Center Excited level Emission Ground state Luminescence (UV-Visible) Valence Band Absorption Conversion Emission Applications Security (Nuclear material detection at airports ) Oil Logging Dosimetry High Energy Physics (LHC, CERN Geneva - CH) Medical Imaging (γ and X Tomography) 5
6 Medical imaging requirements Efficient absorption of the ionizing radiation High Light Yield (> 10, photons/mev) Fast fluorescence (ns to ms) Transparency (at λ emission) ) High AG Low AG Minimal delayed luminescence (afterglow) Some scintillating materials High AG Low AG Blurred images (left) are caused by afterglow LYSO:Ce 3+ 5d-4f (420 nm) LuGdO 3+ 3 :Eu 4f-4f (610 nm) 6

9 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Crystals + Photomultiplier Tubes Thermoluminescence of LYSO:Ce At T > 300 K traps negatively impact Light Yield Czochralski growth 9
10 Trap identification [1] LYSO:Ce prepared with: - Different oxygen content (Floating Zone Technique) - Different dopant (Ce 3+, Tb 3+ ) 4 mm Traps: - Depend on oxygen content during growth - Are not dopant-dependent Oxygen vacancies: Created during Czochralski (CZ) growth (industrial technique) CZ requires LOW OXYGEN CONTENT (Iridium crucible, 2100 C) [1] Blahuta S. et al., Materials 2011, 4, Special Issue 10
11 Decreasing trap activity (1/2) Effect of annealing on trap concentration Annealed in oxidizing conditions (1500 C/48h in air) Reduced TL intensity: some oxygen vacancies are filled Annealed in reducing atmosphere (1200 C/12h in Ar+5%H 2 ) Increased TL intensity: some oxygen vacancies are created Limited trap activity decrease by annealing Low impact on scintillation properties 11
12 Decreasing trap activity (2/2) Oxygen vacancies 2+ (energetically favorable): V O Electron traps Goal: reduce their electron affinity How: by adding a co-dopant: Ca 2+, Mg 2+ Significant trap activity decrease by co-doping Confirmation by TL: - 8 times less with Mg times less with Ca 2+ Confirmation by Light Yield values: Ph/MeV with Mg Ph/MeV with Ca 2+ 12

15 Electronic traps in Gd 2 O 2 S ceramics: Sulfur vacancies c r S atoms LAYER structure Sulfur vacancies : lowest formation energy - Created during very reducing processes - Positively charged electron traps 5d 5d CB Sulfur Oxygen Gadolinium V S Light Yield at 25 C not impacted by traps [2] 3 P 0 E gap Afterglow can be reduced by: - Codoping LY also reduced! Ce 1 D 2 gap - Sulfur annealing 1 st attempt : SO 2, no pressure (LY: +7%) Pr 3 H 4 2 nd attempt : S, pressure VB BLAHUTA [2] Blahuta Samuel S. et al., Optical JNCO Materials In Press 15
16 LuGdO 3 :Eu,RE co-doping for afterglow reduction Luminescence mechanism: Eu h 3+ * 3+ + e Eu Eu Eu Trap + h + Trap + ( + ΔT ) Trap + h + + hν Afterglow RE 3+ co-dopants for efficient h + trapping Reduced number of active traps - No Light Yield reduction - Doesn t work with Ca 2+ or Zr 4+ 16
17 SUMMARY LYSO:Ce single crystals - Oxygen vacancies identified as the main electron traps - Positive but limited effect of oxidizing post-treatment on traps - Ca 2+ /Mg 2+ co-doping reduces trap activity and improves LY Gd 2 O 2 SP S:Pr,Ce ceramics - Sulfur vacancies are responsible for efficient electron trapping Afterglow - Traps may be removed by appropriate annealing (S, SO 2 ) -Gd 2 O 2 S:Pr,Ce light yield is not impacted by traps LuGdO 3 :Eu,RE ceramics - Efficient afterglow reduction with Ce 3+, Tb 3+ and Pr 3+ co-doping - Good agreement between TL (trap concentration) and afterglow - Efficient ceramics for X-ray Tomography 17
