BaF2 (Barium Fluoride)

Crystals >>> Scintillating Crystal >>>  BaF2

Barium fluoride or BaF2 crystal is of high transmission and good scintillation. As a scintillation crystal, it has two components with different decay times. Its remarkable characteristic is that it is the fast one in the known scintillation crystals, and that its fast/slow component ratio changes little with temperature. So BaF2 crystal is applied widely to the field concerned to the study of positron annihilation, such as materials science, particle physics and nuclear medicine.

New Rise Optics can supply BaF2 crystals up to 50�50�350mm3 (cuboids) or φ140�150mm (cylinder).
