Properties of Ce-activated alkali-lutetium double phosphate scintillators

The scintillation properties of Ce-activated alkali-lutetium double phosphate single crystals that vary with the alkali ion type and activation level are summarized and compared. The materials investigated here have been identified as fast and efficient scintillators for the detection of X-ray and γ...

Summary:The scintillation properties of Ce-activated alkali-lutetium double phosphate single crystals that vary with the alkali ion type and activation level are summarized and compared. The materials investigated here have been identified as fast and efficient scintillators for the detection of X-ray and γ radiation, and in case of Li 3Lu(PO 4) 2:Ce, for thermal neutron detection as well.
