Dehydration and oxidation in the preparation of Ce-doped LaCl3 scintillation crystals

The influence of Sc/Lu ratio on the phase transformation and luminescence of cerium-doped lutetium scandium orthoborate solid solutions

“…Nowadays, many researchers are devoting to researching and optimizing the existing scintillation crystals [1][2][3][4], and also developing new scintillators such as Y 2 Si 2 O 7 :Ce, Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 :Ce and MgWO 4 [5][6][7]. Nevertheless, there are still many novel crystals deserved to be developed.…”

Luminescence characteristics of Lu0.8Sc0.2BO3:RE3+ (RE=Eu, Tb) polycrystalline powders

“…high density, high light output, fast response time) and chemical stability. Hence, many researchers are devoting to improving or optimizing the existing scintillation crystals [1][2][3][4][5], and also developing new scintillators such as Y 2 Si 2 O 7 :Ce, Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 :Ce, Lu 2 Si 2 O 7 , MgWO 4 and so on [6][7][8][9][10]. Nevertheless, there are still many novel crystals deserved to be developed.…”

Scintillation Properties of Lanthanide Doped Pb4Lu3F17 Nanoparticles

“…Inorganic scintillating materials have been broadly used in many fields, such as medical CT [ 6 , 7 ], high-energy physics [ 8 , 9 ] and industrial nondestructive testing [ 10 , 11 ]. Conventional oxide scintillators, such as Bi 4 Ge 3 O 12 (BGO) [ 12 ], PbWO 4 (PWO) [ 13 ] and Lu 2 SiO 5 : Ce (LSO: Ce) [ 14 ] show fast response and good chemical stability, while the halide scintillators, such as NaI (TI), CsI (TI) [ 15 ], LaCl 3 : Ce [ 16 ] and CaF 2 : Ce [ 17 ], have high luminous efficiency. For example, BaY 2 F 8 : Tb exhibited strong scintillation luminescence centered at 545 nm, and the intensity was about twice than that of CsI (Tl) [ 18 ].…”
