近20多年以来,βPbF2晶体一直是作为Cherenkov辐射材料而深受实验高能物理学界的重视。随着新一代电磁量能器对闪烁晶体性能要求的不断提高,人们希望它在未来能够成为优质的闪烁晶体候选者。但纯的βPbF2晶体的发光性能仅存在于液氦温度下,当温度上升到室温时则完全猝灭。本文采用脱氧剂非真空环境下的Bridgman法生长出了掺Tb的βPbF2晶体,并在室温下分别测试了该晶体的透射光谱、X射线激发光谱和紫外荧光光谱。结果表明,βPbF2:Tb晶体的吸收边为245nm,具有很宽的透光范围,透光率最高可达75%。在X射线激发下,观察到八个强弱不等、多呈带状分布的发光峰,具有典型的分立发光中心特征。它们分别对应于Tb3+离子不同能级之间的能级跃迁,见下表。TransitionWavelengthWavenumberHalfwidthRelative(nm)(cm-1)(nm)intensity(%)5D3→7F6380.2261789.1955D3→7F5415.9240449.7385D3→7F4438.5228059.2505D3→7F3460.02173975D3→7F2471.32121895D4?
Nearly 20 years, β PbF2 crystal has been as Cherenkov radiation material and highly experimental high-energy physics community attention. With the new generation of electromagnetic energy meters for the performance requirements of scintillation crystals, it is hoped that it will become a good candidate for scintillation crystals in the future. But pure β PbF2 crystal luminescence properties exist only in the liquid helium temperature, when the temperature rises to room temperature, then completely quenched. In this paper, Tb-doped βPbF2 crystals were grown by Bridgman method under a non-vacuum environment using deoxidizer. The transmission spectra, X-ray excitation spectra and UV fluorescence spectra were measured at room temperature. The results show that, βPbF2: Tb absorption edge of the crystal is 245nm, with a wide range of light transmission, light transmission up to 75%. Under the excitation of X-ray, eight bands with different intensities and bands were observed, which showed typical bands of discrete luminescence. They correspond to the energy level transitions between different energy levels of Tb3 + ions, respectively, as shown in the following table.
