Description

Adopt organic compound auxiliary low temperature to prepare Ce 3+The method of doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate luminescent powder
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of employing organic compound auxiliary low temperature and prepare Ce 3+The method of doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate luminescent powder belongs to rare earth compound luminescent powder fabricating technology field.
Background technology
C.L.Melcher in 1992 and J.S.Schweitzer two people find Lu first 2SiO 5(LSO:Ce) monocrystal material is a kind of scintillator material of superior performance, and its density is 7.4g/cm 3, effective atomic number is 66, and radiation length is 1.14cm, and emissive porwer is 75% of a thallium doped sodium iodide, and light is output as 26300ph/Mev, and be 40ns fall time, and energy resolution is 9%,, and emission peak is in 420nm.Based on above characteristics, this kind material is at CT (computerized tomography, Computed Tomography), and position emissron tomography technology nuclear imaging of medical technical elements such as (PET:Positron Emission Tomography) has wide application prospect.The research of cerium doping silicic acid lutetium scintillation single crystal has obtained huge progress, also faces problems simultaneously, and wherein comparatively serious problem is exactly the preparation of high quality LSO monocrystalline.Traditional single crystal preparation technology (Czochralski method) though can the superior scintillator crystals of obtained performance,, 2100 ℃ growth temperature and the pulling rate of 2mm/h not only experimental installation is proposed high requirement, and the production cycle are longer.In addition, the segregation coefficient of Ce in melt also limited Ce 3+Uniform distribution in large size LSO monocrystalline.For overcoming the above problems, we consider to adopt polycrystalline ceramics preparation technology to develop the adulterated silicic acid lutetium flicker of cerium polycrystalline bulk material.The most significant problems that this thinking need solve is the acquisition of nano-scale high reactivity polycrystalline silicic acid lutetium powder, because the powder of higher sintering activity is easy to prepare the polycrystalline material near theoretical density in follow-up densification sintering process.Nanoparticle has higher sintering activity because of its distinctive performance, so we wish to prepare nano level polycrystalline silicic acid lutetium powder under lower synthesis temperature.
From existing bibliographical information, the synthesis temperature of LSO material is very high, and often comprises more impurity phase in the synthetic product.Just can synthesize LSO phase powder as solid phase method at 1400~1500 ℃, Hayet Farhi is a raw material with lutecium oxide powder and airsetting silicon-dioxide, and compressing tablet behind the uniform mixing obtained the silicic acid lutetium powder of pure phase in 100 hours 1400 ℃ of annealing.It is serious that 1400 ℃ calcining temperature causes crystal grain to be reunited, and particulate is active significantly to be reduced, and seriously restricts finishing of follow-up densification process.Can impel uniform mixing between the reactant element based on the sol-gel method of hydrolysis of alkoxide, therefore the synthesis temperature of material also is reduced to 1200 ℃, picture C.Mansuy uses lutecium chloride, the alkoxide of potassium and TEOS are that raw material passes through Sol-gel technology acquisition LSO precursor, make silicic acid lutetium powder through 1200 ℃ of calcinings after 6 hours.But it is comparatively harsh that the problem of this sol-gel method is exactly a reaction conditions, very sensitive to aqueous vapor, general requirement is carried out under vacuum condition or exsiccant nitrogen atmosphere, and preparation cycle is long, picture ERICBESCHER uses metal Lu, Virahol and TEOS to be starting raw material, with mercury chloride is catalyzer, refluxes can obtain colloidal sol in 3~5 days in vacuum environment.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of employing organic compound auxiliary low temperature and prepare Ce 3+The method of doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate luminescent powder.
