Cerium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate crystals with dimension of +40 ร 60 mm 3 were grown by Czochralski method from an inductively heated iridium crucible. The crystal structure was examined by XRD and confirmed to be monoclinic symmetry. Its optical transmission, UV-excited, X-ray excited emissio
The origins of two decay constants in the scintillation decay of cerium-doped gadolinium oxyorthosilicate (Gd z(Si04 )O :Ce) are investigated using UV light. We find that build-ups and long decay components observed with gamma-ray excitation are due to non-radiative energy transfer from Gd to Ce . T
For rapid, unambiguous isotope identification, scintillator detectors providing high-resolution gamma ray spectra are required. We have fabricated Lutetium Aluminum Garnet (LuAG) using transparent ceramic processing, and report a 2-mm thick ceramic exhibiting 75% transmission and light yield compara
