β¦ Synopsis
This paper deals with Pr-doped and Pr, Si-codoped YAlO 3 single crystal growth by the micro-pulling-down method and investigation of their spectroscopic and scintillating properties. The Pr 3+ 5d-4f radioluminescence intensity is more than 10 times higher than that of Bi 4 Ge 3 O 12 standard sample, but the Si-codoping decreases it. Absorption spectra of as-grown and air-annealed Si,Pr-codoped YAlO 3 samples show along with an onset of 4f-5d transition round 230 nm the induced absorption band at 400 nm which possibly related to a hole center absorption (Pr 4+ or O -). Thermoluminescence measurements above the room temperature were performed in order to monitor deep electron traps. Strong concentration dependence of thermoluminescence was observed for Pr:YAlO 3 glow curves.
