EFFECTS OF GAMMA RAY IRRADIATION ON STRUCTURAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF CsI:Tl CRYSTALS
Poramin Sintham
Abstract:In this research work, effects of gamma ray irradiation on structural and optical properties of CsI doped with Tl (CsI:Tl), which is a scintillator material used for radiation detector applications, were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-VIS spectroscopy and X-ray luminescence spectroscopy. The CsI:Tl crystals used in this study were grown by a modified homemade Bridgman-Stockbarger technique with CsI powder precursors purities of 99.999% and 99.9%… Show more
