CaF2(Eu) Scintillation Crystal Description
CaF2(Eu) Scintillation Crystal is a scintillator crystal composed of calcium fluoride (CaF2) doped with europium (Eu) ions. Scintillator crystals are materials that emit visible or ultraviolet light when they interact with ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays. The doping of europium ions into calcium fluoride enhances its scintillation properties, making it suitable for various radiation detection and imaging applications.
