Abstract

The forming conditions of X-ray storage phosrhors $BaFBr_{1-x}I_x:Eu^{2+}$, $Na^+$ have been investigated, and measured the PSL emission spectra and its intensity, fading characteristics and does dependence of the prepared phosphors. These characteristics were compared with those of commercial image plate (ST-III) obtained from Fuji Photo Film Co. The optimal preparing conditions of $BaFBr_{1-x}I_x:Eu^{2+}$, $Na^+$ Phosphor were 0.5 mol% of $EuF_3$, 4.0 mol% of NaF and composition ratio x=0.3, and the sintering temperature were $950^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$ atmosphere. When the composition ratio x was equal to 0, the spectral range of the luminescence of $BaFBr_{1-x}I_x:Eu^{2+}$, $Na^+$ phosphor was $365{\sim}420\;nm$, and its maximum luminescence intensity appeared at 390 nm. When composition ratio x was not equal to 0, the wavelength ranges and peak of the spectra were shifted to the longer wavelength with the growth of composition ratio x. A good linearity was shown between the PSL intensity and X-ray irradiation dose. The phosphor sample with x=0.3 exhibited better fading characteristics than that of other $BaFBr_{1-x}I_x:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor samples, and the fading characteristics of the PSL intensity at room temperature were shown poorer with increasing $I^-$ ion concentration. The lattice constant of the phosphor becomes larger with increasing the $I^-$ ion concentration.

X-선 저장 형광체 $BaFBr_{1-x}I_x:Eu^{2+}$, $Na^+$의 조성 조건을 조사하고, 제조한 형광체의 광자극발광 강도, 스펙트럼, fading 특성 및 선량의존성을 조사하였다. 그리고 이 특성을 상업적으로 시판하고 있는 일본 부사(富士)사진필름회사 제품 영상판(ST-III)의 특성과 비교하였다. $BaFBr_{1-x}I_x:Eu^{2+}$, $Na^+$ 형광체의 최적 제조 조건은 $Eu_F3$ 0.5mol%, NaF 4.0mol% 그리고 조성비 x=0.3 이었으며, 소결온도는 수소 분위기에서 $950^{\circ}C$이었다. 조성비 x=0일 때 $BaFBr_{1-x}I_x:Eu^{2+}$, $Na^+$ 형광체의 스펙트럼영역은 $365{\sim}420\;nm$이었고, 최대 발광강도는 390 nm 이었다. $x{\neq}0$일 때 스펙트럼의 파장영역과 피이크 파장은 조성비 x가 증가할수록 장파장쪽으로 이동하였다. X-선 조사선량과 PSL 강도 사이에는 좋은 직선성을 나타내었다. 형광체의 fading 특성은 x=0.3일 때 가장 좋았으며, $I^-$ 이온의 농도가 증가할수록 저하되는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 $BaFBr_{1-x}I_x:Eu^{2+}$ 격자상수는$I^-$이온의 농도가 증가할수록 커졌다.
