ZnS (Mn) Nanoparticles as Luminescent Centers for Siloxane Based Scintillators
Journal Title: Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Synthesis of oleic acid stabilized ZnS nanocrystals activated with Mn is pursued. A hydrothermal method where high pressure and temperature are applied to control the nanocrystals growth is adopted. Capping the nanoparticle surface with oleic acid (OA) improved light output. Samples loaded with both the phosphor and the neutron sensitizer have been produced and tested in a preliminary test as alpha particle detectors and secondly as thermal neutron detectors. The results support further development for siloxane-based scintillator detectors employing ZnS (Mn) nanoparticles.
