YSO (Ce) Scintillation Crystal Description:
Cerium doped Silicate Yttrium, also called YSO (Ce), has an emission maximum at 420nm which belongs to monoclinic rare earth orthosilicate crystal. It is similar to the LYSO (Ce) crystal, while generally used as a semiconductor and in photo optic applications.
YSO (Y2SiO5) belongs to the monoclinic system. YSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal is a scintillation crystal with the best combination of properties available at present.
YSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal emits 420 nm light and couples well with PMT under the stimulation of high energy. It also has the advantage of high light yield, short decay time, non-deliquescence, and all-around stable physical and chemical properties. Owing to its excellent time and energy resolution, YSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal is widely used in radiation detection, dosimetry, and security industries.
