      YAG(Ce) Yttrium Aluminum Garnet

      YAG(Ce) Yttrium Aluminum Garnet doped with Cerium

      YAG (Y3Al5O12(Ce)) is a non-hygroscopic, chemically inert inorganic scintillator. The wavelength of the maximum emission at 550nm is well matched to CCD sensitivity. YAG(Ce) is a reasonably fast scintillator with a relative light yield of 21% of NaI(Tl).

       

       

      Uses/Applications

      This material exhibits specific properties that make it an interesting candidate for electron microscopy applications. Other possible applications include beta and X-ray counting, and electron and X-ray imaging screens.

       

      Features/Benefits

      • High electron conversion efficiency
      • Good resolution
      • Light yield increases linearly with the total energy of the electron beam
      • Good thermal conductivity
      • Vacuum compatibility

       

      Packaging Options

      Non-hygroscopic material that can be supplied as pixels or screens.

      Typical Sizes

      Its mechanical properties enable screens down to 0.030 mm thick.
