Abstract
The synthesis of efficient ZnTe powder phosphors is very difficult due to its high moisture sensitivity and chemical instability during processing. In this study, an efficient ZnTe:O powder phosphor for x-ray imaging application was successfully synthesized by vacuum firing ZnTe powder prepared from ZnTe bulk crystals ball-milled in an O2 atmosphere. The phosphors were characterized by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements and found to exhibit a luminescent efficiency three times that of ZnTe:O prepared by ZnO doping. The ZnTe:O samples exhibited a deep red emission centered at 680 nm and a CL decay time of 1.1μs.
