Spectral-luminescence and scintillation properties of p-terphenyl single crystal grown from melt

Abstract

The results of the study of the photoluminescent and X-ray luminescent properties of the p-terphenyl crystalline element made from a single crystal grown from a melt using the Bridgman method are presented. The transmission, photoluminescence and X-ray luminescence spectra of the crystals were obtained and analyzed. The kinetics of photoluminescence and X-ray luminescence decay have been studied for p-terphenyl single crystal and the absolute light yield of X-ray luminescence has been determined.
