New scintillation materials and scintiblocs for neutron and γ-rays registration

Synthesis, Structure Analysis, and Microwave Dielectric Properties of LnTiSbxTa1−xO6 (Ln=Ce, Pr, and Nd) Ceramics

“…The photoluminesent properties of certain polycrystalline lanthanide titanium tantalates are reported by Jacob et al 7 . It was reported that EuTiNbO 6 , EuTiTaO 6 , and Y 0.5 Eu 0.5 TiNbO 6 can be used as good scintillators for γ rays and neutron registration 8 . Maeda et al 9 .…”

“…The photoluminesent properties of certain polycrystalline lanthanide titanium tantalates are reported by Jacob et al 7 It was reported that EuTiNbO 6 , EuTiTaO 6 , and Y 0.5 Eu 0.5 TiNbO 6 can be used as good scintillators for g rays and neutron registration. 8 Maeda et al 9 suggested the possibility of using rare earth titanium tantalates and niobates for microwave frequency applications. To use a material as a good dielectric resonator, it must have high permittivity (e r 420), high unloaded quality factor (Q u 42000), and a small temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (t f r720 ppm/1C).…”

Introduction to Neutron Coincidence Counter Design Based on Boron-10

“…Liquid scintillator has been used for many years as a neutron detector, where differentiation of the gamma ray signal from the neutron signal is produced by the rise time separation of neutrons and gamma rays, but adequate separation is problematic, as it is for other bulk scintillators. There is a wide array of composite material-type neutron-sensitive scintillating materials available (see, for example, the list of materials in [Koroleva 2005]). There are multiple options for semiconductor-based neutron detectors but these devices tend to be small and thus are not applicable for safeguards-scale systems.…”

Influence of lead oxide addition on LnTiTaO6 (Ln = Ce, Pr and Nd) microwave ceramics

“…Various lanthanide systems of this group are reported for their good optical properties. EuTiNbO 6 , EuTiTaO 6 and Y 0·5 Eu 0·5 TiNbO 6 were reported as good scintillators for gamma ray and neutron registration (Koroleva et al 2005). EuTiNbO 6 , EuTiTaO 6 and Y 0·5 Eu 0·5 TiNbO 6 were reported as good scintillators for gamma ray and neutron registration (Koroleva et al 2005).…”
