BGO - Bi4Ge3O12
BGO is a novel scintillation crystal, widely used as a
scintillator for x-ray computerized tomography (XCT), positron
CT (PCT), electromagnetic shower calorimeter and oil well
logging. BGO features high stopping power and high photo peak
efficiency, is non-hygroscopic, has low after glow, and is easy
to machine to any size required. Boules up to 76 mm dia. 150 mm
long. Also available BiGeO20piezoelectric crystal.
BSO - Bi12SiO20
BSO has properties of piezoelectric, photoconductive,
electro-optic crystals. Applications include image amplifiers,
matrix inversion, beam combining, to mention a few. BSO is
available for modulator applications, 50 mm diameter and 100 mm
long
