摘要: Eu:(Gd,Lu)2O3陶瓷具有高密度、高有效原子序数,高光产额的特点,能很好满足高能射线成像的应用要求。为了探究Gd3+含量对陶瓷微观结构和光学性能的影响,本研究采用共沉淀法合成了不同Gd3+含量(x=0、0.3、0.6、0.9、1.2)的5%Eu:GdxLu1.9-xO3(5%为原子百分数)纳米粉体,所有粉体均呈纯立方相,晶格常数随Gd3+含量增大而增大(1.0391→1.0709 nm)。经1625 ℃真空预烧4 h结合热等静压烧结后处理(1700 ℃×3h, 200 MPa Ar)所有陶瓷的相对密度均达99%以上。5%Eu:GdxLu1.9-xO3陶瓷的直线透过率随Gd3+含量先升后降,x=0.6的样品(厚度1.5 mm)在800 nm和611 nm处透过率分别达75.8%和73.2%。5%Eu:GdxLu1.9-xO3陶瓷的光致发光(PL)和X射线激发发光(XEL)强度,随着Gd3+含量的增加先增后减,荧光寿命从1.26 ms缩短至0.90 ms,归因于Eu3+向低对称性C2格位迁移。x=0.6的5%Eu:Gd0.6Lu1.3O3陶瓷PL和XEL强度最高。抗辐照性能方面,x=0.6样品经X射线持续辐照20 min后XEL强度下降约5%,而纯Lu基陶瓷(5%Eu:Lu1.9O3)下降约22%,表明适量Gd3+引入可显著提升材料辐照稳定性。所有组分陶瓷在可见光和X射线激发下都呈现强烈的红光发射(5D0→7F2, 612 nm),与硅光电二极管光谱响应有着良好的耦合性。

Abstract: Eu:(Gd,Lu)2O3 ceramics possess high density, high effective atomic number, and high light yield, making them well-suited for high-energy ray imaging applications. To investigate the effect of Gd3+ doping concentration on the microstructure and optical properties of the ceramics, 5%Eu:GdxLu1.9-xO3 (5% is in atomic percent) nano-powders with different Gd3+ contents (x=0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2) were synthesized via co-precipitation. All powders exhibited a pure cubic phase, with the lattice constant increasing from 1.0391 nm to 1.0709 nm as the Gd3+ doping concentration increased. After vacuum pre-sintering at 1625 ℃ for 4 h followed by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) at 1700 ℃ for 3 h under 200 MPa Ar atmosphere, the relative densities of all ceramics exceeded 99%. The optical transmittance of 5%Eu:GdxLu1.9-xO3 ceramics first increased and then decreased with increasing Gd3+ content; the sample with x=0.6 achieved transmittances of 75.8% at 800 nm and 73.2% at 611 nm. The photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) intensities of the 5%Eu:GdxLu1.9-xO3 ceramics first increased and then decreased with increasing Gd3+ content, while the fluorescence lifetime decreased from 1.26  ms to 0.90  ms, attributed to the migration of Eu3+ to low-symmetry C₂ sites. The sample with x=0.6 exhibited the highest PL and XEL intensities. In terms of radiation resistance, the XEL intensity of the x=0.6 sample decreased by approximately 5% after continuous X-ray irradiation for 20 min, while that of the Lu-based ceramic (5%Eu:Lu1.9-xO3 decreased by about 22%, indicating that the introduction of an appropriate amount of Gd3+ can significantly enhance the radiation stability of the material. All the ceramics with different compositions exhibit intense red emission (5D0→7F2, 612 nm) under both visible-light and X-ray excitation, which matches well with the spectral response of silicon photodiodes.
