Bismuth Germanate (BGO, Bi3Ge4O12) Single Crystal Substrates

Bismuth Germanate (BGO) Single Crystal Substrates

Application:
BGO (Bi4Ge3O12) is a premier intrinsic scintillation material. Due to its high density and high atomic number, it has excellent stopping power for gamma rays, making it widely used in high-energy physics (HEP), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners, and geological exploration.

Product Overview:
This product features high-quality Bismuth Germanate (BGO) single crystals grown via the Czochralski (CZ) method. It is a cubic oxide crystal known for being non-hygroscopic (stable in air), mechanically robust, and chemically stable.
