Product Details
CaB2 Fluoride Crystal
Description
Barium fluoride (BaF2) is a general-purpose optical window material
that offers a wide range of transparency, from the ultraviolet to
the long-wave infrared, with low reflectance loss and low
dispersion. BaF2 single crystal is an intensively studied
scintillator for the detection of gamma radiation due to its
relatively high stopping power, radiation hardness and extremely
fast response. BaF2 possesses the fast cross-luminescence component
at 195 and 220 nm with a lifetime of several hundred picoseconds.
However, this component coexists with slow one at 310 nm related to
the self-trapped exciton (STE). BaF2 is a broad band gap crystal
with Eg=10:9 eV. It is currently regarded as the fastest inorganic
scintillator which has cross-luminescence bands peaked at 195 and
220 nm and a broad band peaking at about 300 nm due to self-trapped
excitons. Much attention has been focused on the luminescent
properties of rare earth ions activated BaF2.

——growing crystals, linking values
We are seller of crystals. At same time, we are producer of
crystals.
It is a long and arduous process from seed crystal to the desired
single crystal, the composition of the crystal changes through
three states and eventually grows into beautiful crystals. We
witness the growth process of each crystal and clearly know
technologies of each step in the crystal growth process, which
means that we can directly provide customers with crystals that
satisfied customer requirements.
We create value. At same time, we link value.
From company to individual, we all pursue the word "value".
Individual is valuable in society, enterprise is valuable in the
industry. We cherish the existence of value. We hope to set the
enterprise’ value as start pointing, expand to the surrounding,
extend the value from the customer to the supplier. Linking
enterprise and the industry more closer, to create more value.
