The growth and scintillation properties of the Na2W2O7 crystal are reported. The solid reaction between Na2CO3 and WO3 is used to synthesise the Na2W2O7 material. The Na2W2O7 single crystal has been grown by the Bridgman method. And the Na2W2O7 single crystal with sizes 14 x 7 x 6 mm(3) has been achieved. The transmission spectra. the Ultraviolet fluorescence spectra and the X-ray excited luminescence spectra of the Na2W2O7 crystal are measured. The measurement results show that the Na2W2O7 crystal is a promising intrinsic scintillator. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
