Abstract
In this research work, different terbium doped lutetium aluminium garnet nano crystalline powders were prepared by the co-precipitation method in different sizes at different annealing temperatures. The structural properties and size of the different nano crystalline powders prepared at different temperatures were investigated by the X-ray diffraction pattern and TEM. Also, the atomic structure of different nano crystals in garnet forming was studied by Fourier Trans from Infrared (FTIR) method. The impact of different crystallite sizes on the absorption energy was investigated by the UV-visible spectroscopy. The emission and excitation spectra of terbium doped lutetium aluminium garnet nano-structure powders were measured at room temperature. The decay time of different nano crystalline with different sizes was examined at room temperature. The change of nanocrystalline size affects the decay time. Also, the investigation of terbium doped garnet emission spectra showed that this material can be used as an appropriate scintillator for detection systems such as medical diagnostic and therapeutic.
