研究目的
To investigate the luminescence properties of Li2WO4 single crystal as a function of temperature, including growth, characterization, and potential applications in scintillating detectors for neutrinoless double beta decay.
研究成果
Li2WO4 single crystal exhibits excellent optical transmittance and temperature-dependent luminescence properties, with peaks shifting and intensity increasing at lower temperatures. Decay times decrease from 30 K to 75 K and stabilize above 75 K. The crystal shows promise for use in low-temperature scintillating detectors, particularly for neutrinoless double beta decay research, due to its structural properties and luminescence behavior.
研究不足
The study is limited to Li2WO4 crystals grown by Bridgman method; other growth methods or materials were not compared. The luminescence properties are investigated only up to 300 K, and potential defects like oxygen vacancies may affect results. Application in scintillating bolometers for 0νββ decay is suggested but not experimentally validated in this work.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved growing Li2WO4 single crystals using the vertical Bridgman method, followed by detailed characterization of phase, FTIR spectra, thermal behavior, optical transmission, and luminescence properties at various temperatures. Theoretical models for emission linewidth broadening were applied.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Polycrystalline materials were synthesized from LiOH and WO3 powders via solid-state reaction. Single crystals were grown in a platinum crucible. Samples with thicknesses of 2.0 mm, 4.0 mm, and 6.0 mm were prepared for analysis.
3:0 mm, 0 mm, and 0 mm were prepared for analysis. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included XRD (D/Max-2550V, Rigaku), FTIR spectrometer (Nicolet 6700), TG/DTA (Pyris Diamond), UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer (Lambda 950, Perkin Elmer), fluorescence spectroscopy (FLS980, Edinburgh), and a spectrum analyzer with liquid helium cooling. Materials included LiOH (99.9 wt%), WO3 (99.9 wt%), and a platinum crucible.
4:9 wt%), WO3 (9 wt%), and a platinum crucible. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Polycrystalline synthesis involved grinding and sintering at 600°C and 700°C. Crystal growth was performed in a Bridgman furnace at 842–850°C with a lowering rate of 0.5–1.0 mm/h. Characterization steps included XRD for phase identification, FTIR for chemical groups, TG/DTA for thermal analysis, transmission spectra measurement, luminescence spectra acquisition from 30 K to 300 K using a 355 nm laser, and decay time measurements.
5:5–0 mm/h. Characterization steps included XRD for phase identification, FTIR for chemical groups, TG/DTA for thermal analysis, transmission spectra measurement, luminescence spectra acquisition from 30 K to 300 K using a 355 nm laser, and decay time measurements. Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Data were analyzed using fitting models for emission linewidth (Equation 1 involving inhomogeneous broadening, LO phonon scattering, and impurity scattering) and decay times. Statistical analysis included chi-squared values for decay time fits.
