Description

CdWO4 Scintillator Crystal—A monoclinic crystal with high luminous efficiency

CdWO₄ single crystal is a monoclinic crystal system with good comprehensive scintillation performance, belonging to wolframite-type structure. Compared with other inorganic scintillation crystals, CdWO₄ single crystal has high luminous efficiency, short afterglow time, large X-ray absorption coefficient, strong resistance to radiation damage, high material density, and absence of hygroscopicity. Due to these excellent scintillation properties of CdWO₄, it has been widely used in nuclear medicine imaging, security inspection, industrial computer tomography (CT), petroleum logging, high-energy physics and other technical fields, especially in the field of medical X-ray CT, container inspection system has very important applications.

Scintillator is a photoelectric functional material, which refers to a material that stimulates pulsed light under the function of energetic particle(eg,x-rays,γ-rays,etc). Scintillation detectors with the core of scintillators have found utility for a variety of applications ranging from X-ray imaging to high-energy physics Cadmium tungstate is one of the best scintillation crystals for its excellent scintillation properties. The CdWO₄ crystal is the core component of nuclear instrument detection,γ camera, XCT tomography imager and other photoelectric detection equipment. The wide application of CdWO₄ crystal has greatly improved the working performance of medical XCT and the efficiency of security equipment. We are committed to customizing high performance CdWO₄crystals according to customers’ specific requirements.
