Photo- and X-ray excited luminescence, thermoluminescence and scintillation characteristics of LuGd2Al3Ga2O12:Ce,Mo single crystal scintillators: Influence of Mo co-doping
Mo co-doped LuGd2Al3Ga2O12:Ce,Mo (Mo = 0, 300, 600 ppm) single crystals were grown by the micro-pulling-down method. The optical absorption and X-ray excited luminescence spectra, temperature dependence of photoluminescence decay kinetics, afterglow and thermoluminescence (TL) intensity, and scintillation properties (light yield, LY, and decay time) were investigated. The quenching temperature of 355 K was determined from temperature-dependent photoluminescence decay kinetics in the temperature range of 77–487 K under excitation in the 4f - 5d1 absorption band of the Ce3+ ions. Under excitation of 662 keV γ rays, the LuGd2Al3Ga2O12:Ce,Mo600 sample showed high LY value of 32,900 photons/MeV, energy resolution of 7.6 %, and scintillation decay time of 119 ns (38 %) + 475 ns (62 %). The lower LY value together with higher contribution of slower scintillation decay component among the samples studied was observed for LuGd2Al3Ga2O12:Ce,Mo300 sample, consistently with its higher afterglow intensity and longer de-trapping time of the dominant TL glow peak at 356 K.
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.
