Effects of Sc3+ and Y3+ codoping on luminescence and scintillation properties of LaBr3:Ce single crystals
In this work, the effects of Sc and Y codoping on the luminescence and scintillation properties of LaBr3:Ce single crystals were systematically studied. LaBr3:Ce single crystals with a diameter of 7 mm codoped with different Sc and Y concentrations were grown by the vertical Bridgman method. It was found the incorporation of Sc codoping does not alter the luminescence mechanism and exhibits limited effects on light yield and energy resolution. In contrast, with the introduction of Y codopant, the LaBr3:Ce single crystals exhibit coloration. In addition to the feature Ce3+ 5d-4f emission, Y codoped LaBr3:Ce has a defect-related emission ranging from 450 nm to 800 nm under both photoluminescence and X-ray excitation. Moreover, Y codoping introduces a slow scintillation decay component of 260 ns and an enhanced X-ray afterglow level. Both light yield and energy resolution of LaBr3:Ce were significantly deteriorated after Y codoping.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
