Abstract
The sample of Eu2+-doped Ba3BP3O12 was prepared by a solid-state reaction at high temperature and was showed to be an excellent scintillator when excited with hard x ray s. The phosphor showed a broad emission band in the wavelength range of 400–650 nm and a comparable light yield with that of Bi4Ge3O12 powders. Its room temperature fluorescence decay curve exhibited a two-exponent shape with decay time of 20.0±1.4ns (98.97%) and 522±9ns (1.03%), respectively. Considering the suitable emission wavelength range, large light yield, short decay time, moderate density, moderately low melting point, and nonhygroscopic property of Ba3BP3O12:Eu2+, one has reason to assume that this compound might find an application as a new scintillation material.
