BGO Scintillator Crystal High Density High Z High Detection Efficiency
High density high Z High detection efficiency BGO Scintillator crystal
Bismuth Germanate - BGO - Bi4Ge3O12 is a highly effective gamma-ray absorber as a result of its high density and high Z characteristics.
BGO scintillator crystals have:
- Mechanically robust characteristics and are non-hygroscopic
- Stable scintillating characteristics up to c.100 rad
- Virtually no afterglow emissions
- No cleavage planes, so can me easily machined into various shapes and geometries
