Abstract

Microchannel plate (MCP) is an important compact signal multiplier. The dynamic range of MCP is the key index influencing the detection quality of high flux, high energy and wide output linearity signals, but limited on the bulk resistance of MCP multiplier. Therefore, the problem of the bulk resistance-dependent of dynamic range transition in these devices needs to further continues to be investigated. In this paper, lead silicate glass microchannel plates in three different bismuth contents (0at%, 1at%, 2at%) were present. The bulk resistance decreased exponentially (from 6000MΩ into 15MΩ) with the increase of the content of bismuth in the lead silicate glass from 0at% to 2at%, meanwhile, the dynamic range was increased from 3.3×10² to 2.3×10³ . As the bulk resistance of MCP multipliers dropped from 150MΩ into 15 MΩ (dropped about 90%), while the dynamic range of that just extended by seven times, meanwhile, the dark current of that boosted almost ten times (from 1pA to 10pA). It implicated that the dynamic range of MCP multiplier was influenced not only by the charge replenishment abilities involved in the bulk resistance, but also by the joule heating effect-depended dark current variation concerned with the bulk resistance.
