Growth and luminescent properties of Lu2SiO5:Ce and (Lu1 xGdx)2SiO5:Ce single crystalline films

Abstrakt

Single crystalline films of Lu2SiO5:Ce (LSO:Ce), (Lu1-xGdx)2SiO5:Ce (LGSO:Ce) and LGSO:Ce,Tb orthosilicates with thickness of 2.5-21 um were crystallized by liquid phase epitaxy method onto undoped LSO substrates from melt-solution based on PbO-B2O3 flux. The luminescence and scintillation properties of LSO:Ce, LGSO:Ce and LGSO:Ce,Tb SCFs were mutually compared and confronted with the performance of reference LSO:Ce and LYSO:Ce crystals.
