Definitions
- Scintillator material comprising a doped halide perovskite
- the invention relates to the field of scintillators which can be fitted to detectors of ionizing radiation such as X and gamma radiation and ionizing particles.
- Ionizing radiation (which includes ionizing particles such as protons, neutrons, electrons, muons, alpha particles, ions, and X or gamma radiation) is usually detected using single crystal scintillators converting incident radiation into light, which is then transformed into an electrical signal using a photo-detector such as a photomultiplier.
- An essential parameter for choosing the scintillator material is the scintillation efficiency, which corresponds to the number of photons per unit of energy of the ionizing radiation absorbed. The most common unit used to measure efficiency is the number of photons emitted per MeV of incident energy.
- Amorphous materials possess defects in the structures which are responsible for trapping charge carriers during scattering such as electrons, holes and excitons responsible for energy transfer in the scintillation mechanism.
- the inorganic scintillators usually used are for this reason crystalline, and very often monocrystalline.
- they are preferably of relatively large size, that is to say of volume greater than 1 cm 3 in order to increase the probability of collision between high-energy particles and the scintillator material.
- the scintillators used may in particular be single crystals of sodium iodide doped with thallium, cesium iodides doped with thallium or sodium, lanthanum halides doped with cerium or praseodymium. Crystals based on lanthanum halide have been the subject of work published in particular under US7067815, US7067816, US2005/188914, US2006/104880, US2007/241284.
- lead halide perovskites As a detector, lead halide perovskites have shown interest in detecting ionizing radiation, due to their high stopping power, fault tolerance, high mobility and short lifetime, of their tunable bandwidth. In addition, it is possible to obtain them by simple growth of monocrystals resulting from conventional and inexpensive solution processes.
- halogen-based perovskites can be of different types: a distinction is thus made between three-dimensional (or 3D) perovskites, two-dimensional (or 2D) perovskites and intermediate-dimensional (2D/3D) perovskites.
- the halogen anions form octahedra linked by their vertices to form said three-dimensional structure, the cation B of an element such as lead being present in the middle of the octahedron and the cation A of largest size, typically an organic cation, is present between the octahedra.
- Such materials having a 3D perovskite structure are for example the compounds of general formula MAPbXs where MA is methylammonium, Pb is lead and X is a halogen such as I, Br or Cl.
- the object of the present invention is to provide new scintillating materials, in particular of so-called 2D or homologous structures, useful in particular in the fields of the detection of ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays, neutrons and whose synthesis is simple and inexpensive.
- the invention relates to a scintillator material for an ionizing radiation detector comprising and preferably consisting of a halide perovskite, said perovskite corresponding to one of the following formulations:

- M is a metal preferably chosen from Pb, Bi, Ge or Sn
- X is a halogen or a mixture of halogens chosen from Cl, Br, I, and in which said perovskite further comprises at least one scintillation activating element N (different from M).
- halide perovskite corresponds to the formulation (A')2(A) n -i[M n X3n+i], n being preferably still equal to 1 or 2, or even equal to 1.
- halide perovskite corresponds to the formulation (A')(A) P -i[M P X3p+i], (so-called Dion-Jacobson perovskite), A' preferably being 3-(aminomethyl) piperidinium ( or 3AMP) or 4-(aminomethyl)piperidinium (or 4AMP) and A preferably being methylammonium (MA), p still preferably being equal to 1 or 2, or even equal to 1.
- halide perovskite corresponds to the formulation (A')2(A) q -i[M q X3q+3], q being preferably still equal to 1 or 2, or even equal to 1.
- halide perovskite corresponds to the formulation (A′)2(A) m [MmXsm+2], m being preferably still equal to 1 or 2, or even equal to 1.
- - Said activator element N is chosen from Sb, Bi, Pb, In and rare earth elements.
- - Said activator element N is chosen from Bi, Eu, Sm, Tb, Yb.
- activator element N is chosen from organic molecules exhibiting fluorescence properties in scintillators, in particular 1, 4-bis- (5-Phenyl oxazolyl-2) benzene (POPOP).
- - Said material further comprises a neutron absorber selected from isotopes enriched with lithium-6, or boron-10.
- - Said perovskite has the formulation (A')2(A) n -i[M n X3n+i] n is a positive integer between 1 and 100 limits inclusive, preferably between 1 and 10 limits inclusive and in such a way very preferred between 1 and 4, terminals included.
- Said perovskite has the formulation A2[MX4], in which M is preferably chosen from Pb, Ge or Sn.
- the proportion of the activating element is such that, on an atomic basis, 1.0.10'4 ⁇ N/M ⁇ 0.1, preferably 1.0.10' 3 ⁇ N/M ⁇ 0.05 and preferably another 1.0.10'2 ⁇ N/M ⁇ 1.0.10' 1 .
- the organic cation(s) A and/or A' are chosen from alkyl-ammonium R-NHs, in particular methylammonium, formamidinium, butylammonium, phenylammonium, phenylethylammonium, 5-Aminovaleric acid, benzylammonium, 3-(aminomethyl)piperidinium or 4-(aminomethyl)piperidinium.
- the element M comprises Pb and more preferably is Pb.
- the scintillation activating element comprises Bi and more preferably is Bi.
- the M element comprises Bi and more preferably is Bi and the scintillation activating element comprises Pb and more preferably is Pb.
- the element X comprises Cl and more preferably is Cl.
- the element X is a mixture of at least two halogens chosen from Cl, Br and I.
- the material comprises two activating elements, one of which has a +1 valence and the other a +III valence, in particular by an element chosen from K, Na, Li, Cs, Rb, Ag, Au or Cu and an element chosen from Bi, In, Sb, and the rare earths, in particular chosen from Eu, Sm, Tb, Yb.
- - Said material is monocrystalline.
- the invention also relates to a scintillator detector for ionizing radiation comprising the material as described above.
- the scintillator detector notably comprises a photo-detector sensitive to a wavelength ranging from 300 nm to 800 nm.
- the scintillator material according to the invention can be polycrystalline but is preferably monocrystalline.
- a monocrystal according to the invention can be obtained very simply and inexpensively by a monocrystalline growth process well known to those skilled in the art under the name STL (Slow Temperature Lowering) as described for example in the publication cited above or even in the publication "Modulation in hybrid metal halide perovskites", Adv Mater. 2018; 30 (51).
- STL Small Temperature Lowering
- This method is based on the solubility properties of the solution of a precursor of the material in an aqueous solution (typically a halide of element A).
- the growth of the crystal is obtained by cooling, the solvency of the precursor decreasing with the temperature.
- the crystals were grown in a flask immersed in a thermostatic oil bath.
- the initial chemical reagents are PbCl2 from Alfa Aesar 99.999%, benzylammonium chloride (BACI) (>98%) from TCI and Bih 99.999% from Alfa Aesar.
- BACI benzylammonium chloride
- the compounds are weighed to prepare 10 ml of a 0.1 M PbCl2 precursor solution.
- the BACI:PbCl2 ratio was 2:1.
- the precursors were dissolved in 10 ml of 37% hydrochloric acid (HCl).
- 3 mol% Bih is added.
- the flask containing 5 ml of solution is placed in a silicone oil bath heated by a heating plate so that the solution is 100% immersed in the oil and kept under stirring overnight at 50°C ( Figure 1). .
- the temperature is then increased to 100°C. After a stabilization time of 30 minutes, the temperature is reduced very slowly (5° C./30 min). Each drop of 5°C (10 min) is followed by a stabilization of 20 min. The temperature is thus reduced until it reaches room temperature.
- the crystals are then dried with paper at 50°C on the hot plate.
- the crystals obtained are in the form of platelets with a length of 1.5 mm for a thickness of 0.2 to 0.3 mm.
- Example 3 (comparative):
- the reagents used are PbCl2 99.999%, from Alfa Aesar and MACI (methyl ammonium chloride) 99.999% from Alfa Aesar as well.
- a solution of 1 mL precursors of 1 M concentration of PbCl2 is prepared.
- the solvent used has a 1:1 ratio of DMF and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
- 0.5mL of each of the reagents is added using a micropipette to a bottle containing the solvent.
- the flask is placed in a silicone oil bath heated by a hot plate, the solution being 100% immersed in the oil, and kept stirred overnight at 50°C.
- the solution is filtered with a 0.45 ⁇ m filter, the stoppered flask is placed in the oil bath so that the liquid/gas interface corresponds to the oil level.
- the temperature is increased to 70°C for crystallization to occur. After an hour, a dozen transparent crystals appeared at the bottom of the solution. Three crystals are left in the solution and the others are removed. After an additional 6 hours the three crystals had reached a size of approximately 2mm in length by 1mm in thickness.
- the crystals were placed in a vacuum chamber cooled to 14K and subjected to UV excitation by an LED device emitting 365 nm radiation. Emission spectra were recorded at 14K and ambient. The position of the maximum of the emission peak is reported in Table 1 below, as well as the emission color observed.
- scintillation is the ability of a compound to become excited under incident excitation (such as X-rays) and release energy as photons in the visible range. Indeed, a central electron first enters an excited state in reaction to a high energy photon (of the order of keV or GeV) and, after several steps, several electrons can become de-excited in the valence band, thus releasing several visible photons.
- an X-ray generator was used to irradiate them. Voltage and current were set for each experiment at 40keV and 25mA. The samples are placed in a cryostat under vacuum, at temperatures of 14K and at room temperature.
- the radioluminescence spectra are recorded using a photodetector placed in the cryostat and the presence of a scintillation peak (photopeak) is observed.
- a pulse height analyzer was used to measure the scintillation performance of the crystals under gamma radiation. Such an instrument records electronic pulses of different pitches from particle and event detectors, digitizes the pulse pitches, and records the number of pulses of each pitch in registers or channels, thus recording a "pitch spectrum impulse".
- the crystal Exposed to a high energy source, the crystal produces photons which are detected by a photomultiplier regardless of the wavelength of the photon.
- the detector used is sensitive from UV to IR and allows each photon to be counted. In this way, a scintillation histogram is obtained, with on the abscissa values proportional to the quantity of emitted light detected by the optical device (measured with a 137 Cs isotopic source with an Advanced Photonix APD 630-70-72-510 detector, said detector being at temperature of 270K), and on the ordinate the numbers of gamma photon interaction events with the scintillator.
- the more the scintillation peak is observed with a high number of channels the higher the number of photons emitted per pulse. Furthermore, the presence of such a photo-peak makes it possible in particular to determine in particular whether the observed scintillation effect can be associated with sufficient energy resolution to allow possible discrimination of the energies of different isotopes.
