Description

A kind of surface has the plastic scintillant and preparation method thereof of microlens array
Technical field
The present invention relates to nuclear radiation detection technical fields, and in particular to a kind of surface has the Plastic scintillation of microlens array Body and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Scintillation detector and radiation image-forming system high-energy physics and nuclear physics experiment, nuclear medicine, cosmic ray with It is widely applied in the fields such as dark matter detection, plays an important role, be a kind of irreplaceable detector kind Class.Scintillator is one of scintillation detector and two big Primary Components of radiation image-forming system front end, flicker with photoelectric detector The energy that ray or high energy particle deposit is converted to optical region fluorescent radiation and come out by body, and fluorescence is collected and whole by photoelectric device It is converted into electric signal output, is finally recorded by rear end electricity system, to realize to ray particle energy, time, intensity, space The parameter measurements such as position.Therefore, the photoyield of scintillator, time response, emitting space distribution character are to detector and imaging Performance of uniting has great influence.
Plastic scintillant is a kind of scintillator being most widely used in scintillator, and plastic scintillant is usually by host material (solvent), the first luminescent substance, the second luminescent substance (Wavelength shifter) composition form stable organic flicker by polymerisation and send out Luminescent material.Plastic scintillant can be easily made the transparent material of large volume, easy to process at variously-shaped, and with do not deliquesce, property The advantages that energy stabilization, radiation resistance, short, cheap die-away time, can be used for realizing that neutron, gamma ray and charged particle measure And radiant image, it is very common scintillator type in flash detection and radiant image application.
According to the difference for measuring radiation field type and feature, scintillator and light in scintillation detector and radiation image-forming system There are two different coupled modes for electrical part.Be in close contact one is scintillator and photoelectric device or by optical coupled oil/ Light guide couples;Another kind is that scintillator is separated by a distance with photoelectric device, passes through air or vacuum couplings;Using the first side When formula, coupling efficiency is high, and photoelectric device receives the range that the fluorescence angle of emergence almost covers -90 °~+90 °, fluorescence shooting angle Distribution influences scintillation detector and radiation image-forming system performance relatively small;But photoelectric device and sudden strain of a muscle under this coupled modes Bright body is in similar position, and photoelectric device, which is easy directly to be shone by radiation, forms interference background, or even photoelectric device function occurs Not normal or damage.When using second of coupled modes, photoelectric device avoids beam channel, can effectively avoid ray or radiation grain The straight of son shines interference, it is ensured that detection system safety and the signal-to-noise ratio that can improve measurement result, this mode are one kind in impulse radiation Common coupled modes in field diagnosis, transient process radiant image.But when using the second way, coupling efficiency is low, light Electrical part can only receive the fluorescence being emitted in a smaller solid angle, therefore the angle distribution of blinking, light Electrical part is with scintillator relative position to the detection efficient of scintillation detector and radiation image-forming system, sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, time There is great influence with performances such as spatial discriminations, if the angle of emergence distribution of scintillator fluorescence can be regulated and controled, fluorescence is made to be more concentrated at It is emitted towards photoelectric detector direction, then can improve the property such as signal-to-noise ratio, sensitivity, the time-space resolution of detection system Energy.
On a microscopic level, the fluorescence that the scintillator centre of luminescence generates is uniformly emitted to space all directions.To thin Sheet scintillator, the fluorescence for macroscopically showing as scintillator outgoing obey Lambertian distribution in space, i.e. exit facet normal is (vertical In exit facet) fluorescence intensity in the directions θ is proportional to cos θ, that is, passage of scintillation light be emitted in normal direction it is most strong.Usually, it flickers Body is placed perpendicular to ray incident direction, photoelectric detector deviation ray incident angle direction (namely scintillator plane normal Direction) and blinking is received outside certain distance, only there are one the passage of scintillation light being emitted in very little spatial angle range to enter The passage of scintillation light of detector, other directions is then wasted, and detected fluorescence is not also possible to through adjacent material scattering to detector Interference background is formed, which has limited the promotions of the performances such as scintillation detector and radiation image-forming system detection efficient, signal-to-noise ratio.
To improve the luminescent properties of scintillator, micro-nano photonics achievement is introduced into radiation detection field at present, it is real The regulation and control of existing scintillator radioluminescence performance.The patent of invention of Publication No. CN105204191A discloses a kind of total based on guided mode The directionality regulation and control method shaken, such method have very thin scintillator the light emitting direction ability of regulation and control of height.But Guide mode resonance Regulation Mechanism is photon crystal structure, may be only available for the case where light emitting layer thickness is less than wavelength of fluorescence, general energy The flashing layer thickness enough regulated and controled is at hundreds of nanometers or less;The patent of invention of Publication No. CN 104280761A discloses one The method that kind uses photon crystal surface structure, the method improve scintillator light output efficiency, but due to scintillator thickness Much larger than the wavelength of fluorescence of transmitting, photonic crystal is limited in scope to angle direction regulation and control suitable thicknesses, has actual application value Scintillator size ratio photonic crystal size it is much larger, scintillator different location shine exist under photon crystal structure regulation and control it is big Amount pattern, the fluorescence shooting angle of each layer is distributed and is averaged after regulation and control, and all angles direction is all enhanced, and sudden strain of a muscle is finally improved Bright body entirety light output can not change the angle distribution of scintillator outgoing fluorescence but.
The scintillator of practical application must be with certain thickness (generally higher than 100 μm) in flash detection and radiant image Body shape scintillator because total photon numbers that scintillator thickness generates the detection efficient of ray and effect have decisive work With to realize the regulation and control of block shape scintillator light emission direction, it is necessary to use new structure and design method.

The present invention improves signal-to-noise ratio for scintillator and flash detection under photoelectric device separation condition and radiation image-forming system With the demand of sensitivity, it is proposed that a kind of surface has the plastic scintillant of microlens array, this regulation and control plastic scintillant hair of base Light directionality.Microlens array is the spherical surface of certain amount micro/nano-scale or the permutation and combination of free-form surface lens, and it is special to have Optical function, be widely used in the fields such as optical storage, optic communication, integration imaging.The microlens array period is generally sub-micron extremely Hundred microns, production method has grayscale mask method, sol-gal process, exchange of particles method, pressure sintering, laser direct-writing method etc., still These methods are not suitable for preparing microlens array on plastic scintillant surface, or prepare large area microlens array Cost it is excessively high, general Study is difficult to undertake.The present invention improves photonic crystal arrays structure self-assembling method, can be with Cheap highly effective Ground prepares large area microlens array, is particluarly suitable for plastic scintillant surface and prepares microlens array structure, measured result table Its light emission direction of the plastic scintillant of bright surface microlens array has obtained apparent regulation and control.
As shown in Figure 1, surface provided by the invention has microlens array plastic scintillant, including plastic scintillant 1, modeling 1 surface of material scintillator, which makes, has microlens array 2, microlens array 2 to be made of multiple hemispherical polystyrene microspheres, polyphenyl second A diameter of 4~10 μm of alkene microballoon, array are hexagonal closs packing arrangement.
2 period of microlens array of formation finally determines that selection gist is as follows by polystyrene microsphere diameter:To avoid Spectrum distortion effect caused by photonics diffractive structure, micro-sphere structure size must be considerably larger than the wavelength of fluorescence of scintillator.For modeling Expect that scintillator 1, transmitting spectrum wavelength are 300~500nm, by 10 times of considerations of wavelength, microsphere diameter minimum dimension takes 4 μm;And this Invention prepares microlens array using improved self-assembling method, the largest of about 10 μm of the microsphere diameter that can be applicable in, microsphere diameter It is excessive then cannot method using the present invention prepare.
Plastic scintillant 1 is cylindric or rectangular-shape, and thickness should be greater than being equal to 10 μm.Limit minimum plastic scintillant Thickness value one is because of detection efficient needs, and one is easy for realizing that light emission direction regulates and controls using lenticule.Exist for energy The about several microns of its range in substance of the heavy ion of 1MeV or more, penetration range is then in substance for neutron, gamma ray etc. Generally higher than 1mm increases total number of photons of scintillator output, it is desirable that Plastic scintillation to improve ray and scintillator functioning efficiency Body thickness is more than 10 μm.On the other hand, for thinner scintillator, such as submicron film shines, micro- using photonic crystal Structure and corresponding method are easier to realize the regulation and control of light emission direction.Therefore, the present invention is more than 10 μm primarily directed to thickness Macroscopical scintillator.
Its host material of plastic scintillant is polystyrene, and the first luminescent substance of doping includes p-terphenyl or PBD (2- (4- xenyls) -5- phenyl oxadiazoles), the second luminescent substance be include POPOP (bis- [2- (5- phenyl) oxazolyl] benzene of Isosorbide-5-Nitrae -) Or BBO (2,5 bis- (the bis- phenyl of 4-) oxazoles).Polystyrene is a kind of common matrix in plastic scintillant, refractive index 1.59, The present invention microlens array be also by polystyrene self assembly processing constitute, herein mainly limit plastic scintillant matrix at Part, plastic scintillant matrix components can be consistent with lenticule ingredient, can keep scintillator and microlens array refractive index in this way Consistent matching, can also utilize material itself thermoplasticity by lenticule with plastic scintillant closely, be securely joined with.
The present invention also provides the preparation methods that a kind of surface has the Plastic scintillation system of microlens array, and step is such as Under:
Step 1 prepares silicon chip:
The dodecane methylsulfuric acid sodium solution that mass fraction is 5%~8% is prepared, the silicon chip of surfacing is statically placed in this It places 24~48 hours in solution, is then dried for standby Wafer Cleaning;
Step 2 prepares polystyrene microsphere solution:
Choose 4~10 μm of microsphere diameter, polystyrene microsphere turbid liquid and the anhydrous second that mass fraction is 2.5 ± 0.1% Alcohol is according to 1:2~1:5 volume ratios mix, and form uniform polystyrene microsphere solution;
Step 3 forms polystyrene microsphere array:
Prepared microspheres solution point is dripped on the silicon chip after cleaning, drying, solution is waited for fully to be spread apart on silicon chip And moisture volatilizees completely in solution, silicon chip surface forms polystyrene microsphere array;
Step 4 polystyrene microsphere array is detached with silicon chip:
So that silicon chip is attached with polystyrene microsphere array one side upward, silicon chip is slowly put into deionized water, polyphenyl is made Ethylene micro-sphere array is gradually disengaged with silicon chip under hydrone effect, and is swum on the water surface and be self-assembly of the micro- of dense packing Spherical array array structure.
Polystyrene microsphere array is transferred on plastic scintillant by step 5:
Plastic scintillant surface is blown clean using nitrogen or dry air, so that scintillator side is first entered water, gently Scintillator is moved into below micro-sphere array and then slowly picks up upwards by ground, waits for that surface moisture volatilizees naturally, polystyrene microsphere Array adheres completely to plastic scintillant surface.
Step 6 micro-sphere array thermoplastic deformation forms microlens array:
Plastic scintillant is kept to be attached with polystyrene microsphere array one side upward, by plastic scintillant and polystyrene Micro-sphere array is put into culture dish, and then culture dish is put into freeze-day with constant temperature babinet, and to oven heat to 110~130 30~50min is kept after DEG C, waits for that natural cooling takes out culture dish to get having the Plastic scintillation for microlens structure to surface Body.
In foregoing invention step silicon chip processing, solution prepare and etc. main technique on LYSO scintillators from group The technique that dress method makes surface photon crystal microstructure is identical, but makes microlens array method in plastic scintillant In step, polystyrene diameter and operating procedure are different, this is that microlens array characteristic requirements are determined, it is often more important that Insulating box body temperature and heating time setting are controlled in step 6, it is desirable that heating can make polystyrene microsphere softening simultaneously just The structure of approximate hemisphere is deformed under self gravitation effect, densely arranged formation microlens array between hemisphere and hemisphere, and And the microlens array formed after softening is combined closely with plastic scintillant, forms firm entirety.If warm in thermostatic box It is too short to spend too low or soaking time, then is insufficient to allow polystyrene microsphere to soften to form semiglobe;If in thermostatic box Temperature is too high or soaking time is long, then polystyrene microsphere array continues to softening until forming one in scintillator surface The smooth film of layer, will not have microlens array regulatory function.
One face of scintillator is disposed with microlens structure, and another face (bottom interface) is that do not have structured plane, Will produce total reflection effect when the light more than total reflection angle reaches bottom interface, reflected light be up to upper surface with it is micro- It is emitted again after lensing, and the light being totally reflected belongs to the light of wide-angle, therefore seen on overall effect, by the outgoing of lenticule Fluorescence in wide-angle emergent light have larger weight, it is achieved that the redistribution to fluorescent emission directionality.Except this Except, lenticule allows the fluorescence that the fluorescence of roundtrip cannot be emitted between upper and lower two surfaces a part of originally to emit Out, in terms of final effect, total light output of scintillator also improves.For scintillator fluorescence outgoing intensity and angle under structure Distribution situation needs to simulate to obtain using monte carlo method.
