Scintillation response of Lu3Al5O12:Pr3+ single crystal scintillators

Improvements in Light Yield and Energy Resolution by Li+ Codoping (Lu0.75Y0.25)3Al5O12:Pr3+ Single Crystal Scintillators

“…Both deviate only ≈6% from the ideal linear response. This is similar to the scintillation response that has been previously reported for LuAG:Pr single crystal scintillators which are comparable in structure to the LuYAG single crystals grown for this study. From the information obtained from this measurement, we conclude that the dominant factor influencing the outstanding energy resolution seen in the 0.4% Li codoped LuYAG: 0.2% Pr single crystal resides in another characteristic of the scintillator, in particular, greater scintillation efficiency.…”
