The impacts of optical display BaF2-Ce materials on solid-state lighting

Abstract

Transparent ceramic doped with barium fluorid cerium (BaF₂-Ce) was created via a sintering method and its brightness and scintillation characteristics were examined. The luminescence is associated with the 5d-4f transitions in the Ce³+ ion and exhibits emitting maxima at 310 and 323 nm. For Na-22 radioisotopes, photo-maximum at 511 keV and 1274 keV were achieved using translucent ceramic BaF₂-Ce. The translucent ceramic BaF₂-Ce has been determined to have a power resolution of 13.5% at 662 keV. A luminescent production rate was measured for the BaF₂-Ce (0.2%) ceramic, which is similar to sole crystal. Calculations of the scintillation degradation period beneath 662 keV gamma stimulation reveal a quick part of 58 ns and a somewhat sluggish part of 434 ns. The more gradual part in BaF₂-Ce(0.2%) ceramic is linked to the dipole-dipole power transmission from the host structure to the Ce³+ luminous core and is quicker comparing to self-trapped excitons (STE) emitting in BaF₂ host. BaF₂-Ce offer various qualities, including significant illumination output, rapid degradation duration, and rapid scintillating reaction, which are desirable for many global fields such as medicine, radiation detection, industrial systems and nuclear safety.
