Abstract Photo‐ and radioluminescence characteristics of the Pr 3+ ‐doped Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 single crystal are reported compared with those Pr‐doped Y . With respect to host, lower emission quenching better temperature stability round 300 K is obtained for 5d–4f peaking 308 nm about a factor 2 higher intensity observed around this temperature. The photoluminescence decay time 17 ns, while scintillation dominated by component 25 ns. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
We investigate and compare optical absorption, luminescence scintillation properties of Pr-doped Y3Al5O12, Lu3Al5O12, Y2SiO5 Lu2SiO5 single crystals. The processes determining the kinetics fast Pr3+ 5d–4f radiative transition are described. Among studied host materials, only Lu3Al5O12 presents neither any 5d1–4f state nonradiative quenching nor ionization at room temperature. evaluate figure merit all materials for application as scintillators. most promising system appears to be : Pr, since...
Bi-doped compounds recently became the subject of an extensive research due to their possible applications as scintillator and phosphor materials. The oxides co-doped with Bi3+ trivalent rare-earth ions were proposed prospective phosphors for white light-emitting diodes quantum cutting down-converting materials applicable enhancement silicon solar cells.

Emission and excitation spectra decay kinetics are studied for the luminescence of undoped LuAG YAG crystals. Two emission bands located at 4.8 eV 3.95 in 4.9 3.65 LuAG, excited Eexc>6.5 energy region. They both characterized by a relatively slow (µs) time, ascribed to transitions from two different configurations an exciton localized near antisite defect (Y3+Al or Lu3+Al). The corresponding band, peaking 6.9 7.2 is perturbed defect. Besides emissions, weak fast (ns) self-trapped exciton,...
Abstract Luminescence, energy transfer and defects creation processes were studied at 4.2–300 K for Ce 3+ ‐doped Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 crystals under excitation in the 2.5–11.5 eV range. The results obtained compared with characteristics of Y :Ce crystals. It was concluded that both systems efficiency from host lattice to impurity ion can be noticeably increased by decrease concentration responsible their intrinsic luminescence. origin optically created possible mechanisms formation are discussed....
