Czochralski growth and physical properties of cerium-doped lutetium pyrosilicate scintillators Ce3+:Lu2Si2O7

Synthesis, mechanical and thermal properties of a damage tolerant ceramic: β-Lu2Si2O7

“…6c), demonstrate that it is (1 1 0) twin. The investigation on the microhardness of single crystal ␤-Lu 2 Si 2 O 7 by Pidol et al [35] showed that the minimum hardness is along the [1 1 0] and [1 −1 0] directions. This result suggests that (1 1 0) and (1 −1 0) planes are easy slip atomic planes.…”

Bacteria Inactivation via X-ray-Induced UVC Radioluminescence: Toward in Situ Biofouling Prevention in Membrane Modules

“…All the materials chosen were highly stable mineral systems that are nonwater-reactive. 45,46 Figure 3 shows the RL spectra of the phosphors under 50 kVp X-ray excitation, as well as that of BGO powder − a common semiconductor RL reference material with reported light yield of approximately 9000 photons per MeV absorbed. 40 Activator concentration optimization data may be found in Figure S3, which confirmed 2 mol % Pr 3+ as most effective.…”

“…The morphology of the LPS:Pr 3+ material was considerably different (Figure S2C and D), showing a microceramic structure with highly fused, uniform crystallites of ∼10 μm. All the materials chosen were highly stable mineral systems that are nonwater-reactive. , …”

Growth and spectroscopic characteristics of Yb:LPS single crystal

“…It is well known that the LPS crystal has a cleaving property [7]. In order to prevent the crystal from cracking, a pulling rate of 1.5 mm h À1 , crystal rotation rate of 20 rpm and a post-growth cooling rate of 40 1C h À1 were used as the growth parameters.…”
