本文报道了用LiF晶体中色心的形成证实中子成像的实验结果。记录了各种物体的中子照相图像，包括细Au线、Cd板、Gd板和薄液管。结果表明，LiF中子成像具有空间分辨率高（5.4μm）、颗粒噪声小、线性好、动态范围大等优点。LiF的高分辨率中子成像将用于各种应用，例如中子源和电子设备的定量表征，包括低Z元件，如锂离子电池和燃料电池。
Demonstration of neutron imaging by color center formation in LiF crystals is reported. Neutron radiography images of various objects, including thin Au wires, Cd plates, Gd plates and thin liquid tubes, have been recorded. The data show that neutron imaging with LiF has many excellent properties: high spatial resolution of 5.4μm, little granular noises, good linearity and large dynamic range. The high resolution neutron imaging with LiF will be useful for various applications such as quantitative characterizations of neutron sources and electric devices, comprising of low-Z elements such as Li-ion batteries and fuel cells.
