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

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

“…We have adjusted the position of the sample and tried to minimize this effect, but the spectra still present the similar shapes. The influence of powder scattering and Sc-doping has been excluded, because this phenomenon has not been seen in the PL and PLE spectra of Lu 1−x Sc x BO 3 :Ce 3+ powder [23]. However, the cause of this phenomenon is still unknown.…”

“…Recently, it was found that doping Sc 3+ can stabilize the calcite phase of LuBO 3 and the Lu 0.9 Sc 0.1 BO 3 :Ce 3+ crystals were proposed for ␥-ray applications [21,22]. In our earlier work [23], we reported the influence of Sc/Lu ratio on phase transformation and luminescence properties of Lu 1−x Sc x BO 3 :Ce solid solutions. Moreover, the Lu 0.8 Sc 0.2 BO 3 :Ce crystal material has been obtained by Czochalski method and found to be a potential material for scintillation application [24].…”

Growth and characterization of tetragonal structure modification of β-Gd2Si2O7:Ce

“…Search for new materials with improved scintillation characteristics is of big importance. Cerium-doped lutetium scandium orthoborate (Lu 1−x Sc x )BO 3 [2], gadolinium silicate Gd 9.33 (SiO 4 ) 6 O 2 (GSAP:Ce) [3], Ce, Na-codoped lutetium silicate Lu 2 SiO 5 [4] are the recent examples of new scintillation materials based on complex oxides. Ce-doped rare earth pyrosilicates (disilicates) RE 2 Si 2 O 7 are among the most promising new scintillators.…”

Growth and luminescence characteristics of Pr3+-doped Lu0.8Sc0.2BO3 single crystal

“…Recently, it was found that doping Sc 3+ can stabilize the calcite phase of LuBO 3 and the Lu 0.9 Sc 0.1 BO 3 :Ce 3+ crystals were proposed for applications in ␥-ray detection [14,15]. In our earlier work [16], the influence of Sc/Lu ratio on phase transformation and luminescence properties of Lu 1−x Sc x BO 3 :Ce solid solutions have been investigated. Moreover, the Czochalski-grown Lu 0.8 Sc 0.2 BO 3 :Ce 3+ crystal was found to be a promising material for scintillation application [17,18].…”
