Scintillation Crystal Material -- Magnesium Tungstate
When the inorganic crystal is subjected to high-energy particles or high-energy rays (such as X-rays, gamma-rays), a phosphor that emits visible light due to excitation of particles or rays, which is a scintillation crystal, and magnesium tungstate is a scintillation crystal. Magnesium tungstate (MgWO 4 ) single crystal belongs to the wolframite structure, its melting point is 1358 °C. The crystal has a wide emission band of blue white light with a peak value between 480~500 and nm, in which the half width of the spectrum reaches 140nm, the luminescent intensity of magnesium tungstate is sensitive to impurities and excessive grinding, and the emission intensity of the scintillation crystal is weakened regardless of the substance. The excitation spectrum of MgWO4 is wider than PbWO 4 . In early studies of scintillators, MgWO 4 has the highest quantum efficiency, it is believed that the efficiency of converting 253.7 nm radiation to visible light is 100%. It is often us...
