Abstract

BGO and LYSO inorganic scintillation crystals were chosen in this paper for density and hardness properties investigation. Moh's hardness scale was determined by scratching test which of the standard minerals. The micro vicker's hardness was measured with a diamond indenter and the test load was used at 0.1 kgf. The results show that, the moh's hardness scale of LYSO crystal are higher than BGO crystal which correspond with micro vicker's hardness values. The density of scintillation crystals were measured and found to be 7.1 g/cm3 for BGO crystal and 7.15 g/cm3 for LYSO crystal.
