Description

The YSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal (Y2SiO5) is a material known for its light output and short decay time. It features anti-radiation hardness and remains stable in diverse physical and chemical environments. It emits 420 nm light under high-energy stimulation and couples efficiently with standard PMTs. The principle is the scintillator.

YSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal properties

High light yield. Very short decay time. Excellent anti-radiation hardness. Non-deliquescent. Stable physical properties. It continues to survive where other crystals degrade. The non-deliquescent nature means simple storage. Security portals run continuously.

YSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal for dosimetry

Exceptional time and energy resolution. Integrated into market-leading products like the RadTarge II Electronic Personal Dosimeter. The fast decay suits high rates. Learn more about our RadTarge-H Electronic Personal Dosimeter powered by YSO technology.

Custom finishing and matrix assembly

Czochralski-grown boules up to 65 mm diameter. Monolithic YSO. Pixelated YSO arrays. Fine grinding and polishing. Matrix assembly. 65 mm boules suit large detectors. Match the format to the detector. Polishing quality matters.

Typical applications

Radiation detection (high-speed counting, isotopic ID). Dosimetry (RadTarge II). Security industry (cargo and passenger portals). Environmental safety. Environmental monitors value stability.
