Abstract
The luminescence properties of two commercial neutron-sensitive image-plates based on Gd2O3-doped BaFBr:Eu2+ storage phosphors are examined. These are white Fuji plates and blue Fuji plates (BAS-ND) with Gd2O3 content by weight of 34% and 50%, respectively. Both plates show two maxima in the photostimulation spectrum near 500 nm and 600 nm, with the ratio of the peak responses (I600 nm/I500 nm) 1.39 and 0.53 for the white and blue plates respectively. The optimum wavelengths for photostimulation for the two phosphors are therefore different. The response of the blue plate is only 25% that of the white plate, if each is stimulated at its optimum wavelength. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
