Abstract
•We discovered a new radiation imaging device (Al2O3 ceramic plates) with a high spatial resolution.•Al2O3 ceramic plates with a low melting point is easier to produce a larger plate X-ray detector.•Al2O3 ceramic plates are expected for use in imaging device, for their repeatability and ease for obtaining an image.
This research demonstrated that commercially available alumina is well-suited for use in large area X-ray detectors. We discovered a new radiation imaging device that has a high spatial resolution, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, large imaging area, repeatable results, and low operating costs. The high thermoluminescent (TL) properties of Al2O3 ceramic plates make them useful for X-ray imaging devices.
