Ultrafast Ce–Mg codoped GAGG garnet single crystal fibers grown by micro-pulling down (μ-PD) technique
We demonstrate the potential of magnesium (Mg2+) co-doping in Ce3+-doped gadolinium aluminum gallium garnet Gd3(Ga3Al2)O12 (GAGG:Ce) scintillating crystals to obtain a fast decay time performance and the feasibility of μ-PD technique for growing GAGG:Ce,Mg with high dopant concentrations. We demonstrate that Mg2+ co-doping can enhance scintillation kinetics through compositional engineering. An ultra-fast effective decay time of ∼1 ns was achieved with 2500 ppm Ce and 500 ppm Mg, suggesting that Mg2+ co-doping modulates energy transfer pathways through Ce3+/Ce4+ activator ions effectively. These results pave the way for the development of ultrafast scintillator materials.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
