Abstract:e production of high-density bismuth germanate (Bi 3 Ge 4 O 12 ) ceramic scintillators by uniaxial hot pressing was investigated as a function of different applied pressure conditions. e X-ray diffraction showed that the sintering process was able to eliminate the undesirable secondary phase present in the nonsintered samples. e height changes from samples with higher applied pressure rate and applied pressure duration lead to a better relative density value, >95% for samples sintered under a pressure of 0.14 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
