CeF3 Crystals

CeF3 Crystals

CeF3 crystals, also known as cerium fluoride crystals, are magneto-optical crystals with excellent overall performance. Their high density, good temperature stability, high detection efficiency, and fast response time make them ideal for use as detection materials in high-energy physics experimental devices.

They have a wide range of applications in the fields of Faraday isolators, X-ray detectors, beta-ray detectors, and gamma-ray detectors.

CeF3 is also a scintillation material. CeF3 is also a scintillation crystal, a new type of inorganic scintillator for medical imaging and high-energy physics, with high density, short decay time, and good radiation hardness.

Features CeF3 Crystals:

  • high density
  • Insoluble
  • Fast decay time
  • High detection efficiency
  • High atomic number
  • Good temperature stability
