  • 本研究采用溶液法缓慢降温制备零维铅卤化物Cs4PbBr6单晶,经研磨获得Cs4PbBr6粉末;以聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)为聚合物基底,制备了粉末填充量为40 90 mg的Cs4PbBr6/PMMA复合闪烁薄膜。对Cs4PbBr6粉末进行物相表征,并测试了复合薄膜的厚度,元素分布情况与光致发光特性。结果表明,所制Cs4PbBr6粉末物相纯度优异;不同填充量的复合薄膜厚度介于77.8-124 μm且元素分布情况较好,光致发光强度高。在α粒子辐照下,各复合薄膜的有效衰减常数约为120 ns。其中,粉末填充量80 mg的复合薄膜展现出最优综合探测性能,具有极高的α粒子相对相应强度,在α粒子探测领域具备良好的应用潜力。

     

    Zero-dimensional lead-halide Cs4PbBr6 single crystals have become a research hotspot of novel scintillation materials for radiation-detection applications owing to their high luminescence effciency, large effective atomic number and low-cost solution-processable preparation. In this work,Zero-dimensional lead halide Cs4PbBr6 single crystals were grown by a solution-based slow-cooling method and subsequently ground into powder. Composite scintillation films of Cs4PbBr6/PMMA with powder loadings ranging from 40 to 90 mg were fabricated using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as the polymer matrix. The crystal structure, elemental composition and valence states, film thickness, elemental distribution, and optical properties were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. XRD and XPS analyses confirmed that the as-prepared Cs4PbBr6 powder crystallizes in the hexagonal space group R3c with high phase purity and the expected chemical states of Cs+, Pb2+, and Br-. The composite films exhibited thicknesses of 77.8-124 μm and relatively homogeneous elemental distributions, although mild local agglomeration was observed at intermediate loadings (50-60 mg). All films displayed intense green photoluminescence with a stable emission peak centered near 517 nm. Under irradiation from a 241Am α source (5.49 MeV), the α-particle detection performance of the films was evaluated in terms of detection effciency, channel resolution, relative α-response intensity, and scintillation decay kinetics. SRIM simulations indicated that the projected range of the 5.49 MeV α particles in the composite films is approximately 44 μm—well below the measured film thicknesses—ensuring complete energy deposition. All films exhibited a short effective decay constant of approximately 120 ns. Among the series, the film with an 80 mg powder loading delivered the optimal overall performance, achieving a detection effciency of 0.2256, a channel resolution of 0.5628, and a relative α-response intensity of 2.949×106 a.u. (approximately 2-12 times higher than the other loadings). Comparative analysis with previously reported composite α scintillators highlights the advantageous fast timing response of the Cs4PbBr6/PMMA system.
