Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Chemical and structural effects in LuAlO3‐Ce3+ single crystals grown by the Bridgman method were studied using spectral emission, x‐ray, etching and optical techniques. The Ce concentration distribution was found to exhibit the normal freeze behavior with partition coefficient of 0,17. The expansion of the unit cell volume due to incorporation of Ce was measured. Dislocation etch pits were revealed on (010), (100) and (001) crystal faces. Thermal expansion behavior of LuAlO3 was studied along the major crystallographic axes in between the room temperature and 1000 °C. The scintillation performance of 5 × 5 × 10 mm3 samples was measured using a 662 keV gamma source with a shaping time of 1.2 μs. The light yield was increasing from 40% BGO to 70% BGO with increasing of the Ce3+ content from 0.13 at.% to 0.9 at.%.
