Photoluminescence and scintillation properties of Dy-doped SrY2O4 single crystals
Currently, CdWO4, Tl:CsI, and Pr:Gd2O2S are commonly used scintillators for X-ray detectors; however, each has inherent drawbacks in terms of containing harmful Cd, deliquescence, and optical transparency. With the aim of developing new scintillators that solve these issues, Sr(Y1-xDyx)2O4 (x = 0.05 %, 0.1 %, 0.5 %, and 1 %) single crystals were synthesized using the floating zone method, and their photoluminescence and scintillation properties were evaluated. Emission peaks corresponding to the 4f–4f transitions of Dy3+ were observed under X-ray irradiation. Among the samples, the x = 0.1 % sample exhibited the highest scintillation light yield of 15,000 photons/MeV under γ-ray irradiation, comparable to commercially available CdWO4 (15,800 photons/MeV). Although the afterglow level requires further improvement, the present results suggest a promising scintillator showing good light yield and high chemical stability without toxic elements.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
