Description

The authors have investigated neutron storage characteristics of new photostimulable phosphors, such as SrBPO5:Eu2+ and SrBPO5:Ce3+, as candidate materials for neutron imaging plates. They found that these phosphors showed photostimulated luminescence (PSL) by illumination of 635-nm laser light after neutron irradiation without adding any neutron sensitive materials such as Gd in the phosphors. In this paper, PSL characteristics of the phosphors will be discussed. (author)
