摘要

Luminescent properties of Nd3+-doped 20BaO − 60Bi2O3 − 20GeO2 glasses were investigated for near infrared scintillators. The transparent glasses with the Nd2O3 concentrations of 0.1% (0.1%Nd BaBiGe), 0.5% (0.5%Nd BaBiGe), and 1.0% (1.0%Nd BaBiGe) were synthesized via the melt-quenching process. The photoluminescence and scintillation peaks appeared at approximately 910, 1080, and 1340 nm, and originated from 4f–4f transitions of Nd3+. The highest quantum yield (84%) was recorded from the 0.1%Nd BaBiGe. On the other hand, the 0.5%Nd BaBiGe showed the highest intensity under X-ray, and its lowest detectable limit of the X-ray dose rate measured with a lnGaAs photodiode was 500 mGy/h.
