Frequently Asked Questions

Bismuth germinate (BGO) is an inorganic oxide with a cubic eulytine structure that emits a green fluorescent light with a peak wavelength of 480nm when exposed to high energy particles or other sources like gamma-rays and X-rays.

BGO is widely used in high energy physics, nuclear physics, space physics, nuclear medicine, geological exploration, and other industries due to its high stopping power, high scintillation efficiency, good energy resolution, and non-hygroscopic nature.

The density of BGO is 7.13 g/cm-3.

No, BGO is a non-hygroscopic material.

The melting point of BGO is 1050°C.
