Structural and optical properties of Gd2SiO5 prepared from hydrothermally synthesized powder

Structural and luminescence properties of Gd2Si2O7:Ce prepared by solution combustion followed by heat treatment

“…The observed excitation and emission features corroborate well with the results reported earlier for the triclinic GPS except for slight shifts towards higher wavelengths [17,18,25,35]. This may arise due to the presence of GSAP [14] in trace amounts and also changes in the synthesis and processing parameters for our samples.…”

“…Among these, GSO and GPS doped with rare earth ions like (Ce, Pr, Eu, Dy etc.) demonstrate superior optical properties required for applications in laser production and scintillator detectors [6,[9][10][11][12][13][14]. In the gadolinium silicate family, Gd 2 SiO 5 and Gd 4.67 (SiO 4 ) 3 O polycrystalline powder undoped and doped with Ce have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized in one of our previous works [14].…”

In the gadolinium silicate family, Gd 2 SiO 5 and Gd 4.67 (SiO 4 ) 3 O polycrystalline powder undoped and doped with Ce have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized in one of our previous works [14]. Another candidate of this family is the Ce doped gadolinium pyrosilicate Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 (GPS) that consists of Si tetrahedra pair-wise joined to form the diortho groups (Si 2 O 7 ) with a Si-O-Si bond angle varying from one polymorph to another [15].…”

μ-Raman and infrared reflectance spectroscopy characterization of (Lu1−xGdx)2SiO5 solid solution single crystals doped with Dy3+ or Sm3+

“…radiation, high scintillation emission intensities, and fast scintillation decay times [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. In particular, LSO doped with Ce 3+ appears to be the best scintillation material for PET application [4][5][6].…”
