摘要:

采用真空热蒸发法制备了CsI(Tl)薄膜, 然后进行了不同温度的真空热处理.用X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜、X射线荧光光谱仪及正电子寿命谱仪对CsI(Tl)薄膜样品进行了分析, 并测得了样品的光产额.结果表明, 该CsI(Tl)薄膜沿(200)晶面择优取向生长.经过较低温度退火, CsI薄膜中的Tl+离子向薄膜表面扩散, 薄膜中缺陷数量增加, 且尺寸较大, 光产额略微增高.经过250℃退火, 薄膜中低温退火所形成缺陷得到恢复, 薄膜缺陷尺寸变小, 且数目减少, 具有较好的结晶状态, 光产额提高.经过400℃退火, 薄膜结构发生显著变化, 薄膜中缺陷大幅增加, 结晶状态变差, Ti+含量减少, 光产额急剧下降.

Abstract: CsI(Tl) films were prepared by thermal evaporation and annealed at various temperatures. Structure and scintillation properties of the films were examined using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscope and scintillation pulse height spectrometry. Results show that the CsI films are in micro-columnar structure with a preferential (200) orientation. When the sample is annealed at 150℃, Tl+ ions diffuse to the sample surface. Consequently, the amount and size of the vacancy type of defects increase. However, the light yield increases a little after annealed. The samples annealed at 250℃ have a good crystalline state and scintillation properties. As the annealing temperature increases to 400℃, the light output of the samples decreases seriously due to the dramatic change of their microstructure and the decrease of Ti+.

Key words: CsI films, microstructure, scintillation properties
