摘要: The use of scintillator compositions having a cubic garnet structure for gamma detection in downhole oil and gas explorations is provided. Specifically, two primary compositions of interest are disclosed, Ca2LnHf2Al3O12 and NaLn2Hf2Al3O12, where Ln is Y, Gd, Tb, or La. Under gamma ray excitation, the electron-hole pairs produced in the garnet lattice structure are trapped by an activator ion to yield an efficient emission in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The cubic garnet structure enables the use of these materials as ceramic scintillators with considerable advantages over related single crystals in various ways as disclosed herein, including reduction in cost and improvement in overall performance and durability.
