Scintillators emitting near-infrared (NIR) photons have unique characteristics and have been attracting attention recently. For example, scintillators emitting NIR photons are expected to be effective tools for radiation dose monitoring in high-dose environments. In this study, YAlO 3 samples doped with various rare-earth ions (Er 3+ , Ho 3+ , Pr 3+ , and Tm 3+ ) were synthesized by the floating zone method and their scintillation properties from the UV to NIR range were evaluated. Regarding their scintillation detection property, the Er 3+ -doped sample indicated an approximately linear proportional relationship from 1 mGy to 10 Gy.
