8 2. Method_I. Pyroelectricity +Z -Z LiTaO 3 Shinobu Aoyagi, et al. Jpn. J. Appl. Phys NB03, 2015 Polarizing of a pyroelectric crystal Left: random orientation of a polar domains prior to polarization; Right: polarization after temperature changed. S.B. Lang., Physics Today 58 (8) (2005) Attention: Curie temperature LiTaO 3: ~620 o C LiNbO 3 : ~1200 o C 8/31
9 2. Method_I. Pyroelectricity Schematic diagram of the response to temperature changes of a pyroelectric crystal in a dilute gas environment. James D. Brownridge, et al. Journal of Electrostatics, 63(3-4): , 2005 A. Peláiz-Barranco, et al. Advances in Ferroelectrics. chapter5: Relaxor Behaviour in Ferroelectric Ceramics, P E hysteresis loops of the pyroelectric crystal A virgin crystal begins at the origin, with no polarization. a-b: As temperature is increasing, electric field increases and the polarization increases along a curve to point b. b-c: Once all of the dipoles in the crystal are aligned, the polarization saturates, at point c. c-d: As the external field is removed, the polarization doesn t return to zero. Instead, it is reduced only slightly from the saturation polarization, to the remnant polarization (d). 9/31
10 2. Method_II. X ray generator e - e - Fig. Schematic representation of the arrangement James D. Brownridge, et al. J. Appl. Phys., 86(1): , (A) Peltier effect cooler; (B) Crystal and heater support; (C) Heater resistor of 62 V; (D) Pyroelectric crystal (E) Temperature probe (F) Small contact connected to electrometer (G) Photomultiplier (H) Target(either metallic or nonmetallic) (I) X-ray detector with thin Be window (J) Vacuum pump outlet (K) Thin mylar absorber to prevent electrons from striking the Be window. During temperature increasing: electrons are accelerated to the -z base of the pyroelectric crystal and are repelled from the +z base of the crystal. During temperature decreasing: electrons are repelled from the -z base and accelerated to the +z base. The electrons striking the crystal may have sufficient energy to excite x-ray absorption edges of the elements in the crystal and the electrons repelled to a target may have sufficient energy to excite the elements in the target. 10/31

Controller System 9 V AC adapter and a 9 V battery; automatically change the heating and cooling phases. Radiation Precautions (distance: 10cm) Maximum radiation: 5 msv/hr (500 mr/hr); Peak counting rate ~ counts/cm 2 /s. (~75% < 10 kev). 11/31

The slight temperature increase caused by neutron pulse will lead to the release of bound charges and giving rise to a pyroelectric signal. The feasibility of LiTaO 3 pyroelectric crystal for pulsed neutron detection was confirmed. W.F.Liang et al. Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A 827 (2016) /31
