Zdokonalení monokrystalických scintilátorů pro scintilační detektory v S(T)EM
Schauer, Petr
Scintillator is a problematic part of any scintillation detector for S(T)EM. The reason lies in its decay time and especially in its afterglow, which deteriorate the ability to transfer image contrast. In other words, a slow scintillator causes a bad modulation transfer function (MTF) of the whole detector. If a series of alternating white and black points is transferred using such a scintillator, the image is somewhat degraded at the typical S(T)EM spatial frequency. To enhance the MTF of the detector, the kinetics of the cathodoluminescence (CL) of many single crystal scintillators has been studied at our laboratory. Some results concerning single crystals of cerium-activated yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG:Ce) and cerium-activated yttrium aluminum perovskite (YAP:Ce) are presented in this paper.
Experimentální a simulační metody pro optimalizaci scintilačního detektoru
Schauer, Petr ; Autrata, Rudolf
In S(T)EM an image is formed using a focused electron beam, which is scanning across a very small part of the specimen surface. A scintillation detection system consisting of a scintillator, light-guide and photomultiplier (PMT) processes only one pixel of the image at any given moment. Not only efficiency, but also kinetic properties of such a system are of great importance. Scintillation detectors can show a noticeable difference in detective quantum efficiency (DQE) due to the bad electron-photon energy conversion and/or light losses in the optical part of the detector. Up to now, some studies were engaged in measurement of S(T)EM detectors performance ascertaining very low DQE for some detectors, but no suggestion has been made to optimize the detector set-up. To find the neck of a detection system, one must examine the whole detection path step by step
