Ce:LaBr₃
Ce:LaBr₃ crystals, also called cerium-doped lanthanum bromide crystals, are among the new generation of gamma-radiation detector materials based on inorganic scintillators. Their emission spectrum lies in the 360nm-410nm range. Ce:LaBr₃ crystals exhibit excellent scintillation properties, including high energy resolution, high light output (61000ph/Mev), and fast decay (approximately 30ns), making them an ideal alternative to conventional NaI scintillation crystals. Ce:LaBr₃ is widely used in devices for detecting high-energy γ rays, including photomultiplier tubes and scintillation screens. It is also widely applied in nuclear physics, geophysics, oil exploration, and medical imaging.
