Scintillation properties of Pr3+-doped optical ceramic and single crystals of Lu3Al5O12

Creators

Description

We used gamma spectroscopy to study scintillation properties of the Pr3+-doped lutetium aluminium garnet material (LuAG:Pr). Characteristics of LuAG:Pr optical ceramic samples (0.5-5 mol % Pr3+ content) are compared with those of LuAG:Pr single crystal. Nphels photoelectron yield of Pr3+-doped optical ceramic samples reaches up to 30-40 % of that of LuAG:Pr crystal, while their energy resolution values are closer. Non-proportionality effect in optical ceramic samples is noticeably smaller with respect to single crystal below 500 keV.
