Lu2SiO5:Ce and Y2SiO5:Ce single crystals and single crystalline film scintillators: Comparison of the luminescent and scintillation properties

The paper is dedicated to development of scintillators based on the single crystalline films of Ce3+ doped Lu2SiO5 (LSO:Ce) and Y2SiO5 (YSO:Ce) orthosilicates grown by Liquid Phase Epitaxy method onto YSO substrates from melt-solutions based on the PbO–B2O3 flux. We also compare the luminescent and...

Description
Summary:The paper is dedicated to development of scintillators based on the single crystalline films of Ce3+ doped Lu2SiO5 (LSO:Ce) and Y2SiO5 (YSO:Ce) orthosilicates grown by Liquid Phase Epitaxy method onto YSO substrates from melt-solutions based on the PbO–B2O3 flux. We also compare the luminescent and scintillation properties of Ce doped LSO:Ce and YSO:Ce single crystalline films with those of their single crystal counterparts, grown by the Czochralski method. •Growth of (Lu,Y)2SiO5:Ce films by LPE method from PbO based flux onto YSO substrates.•Peculiarities of the luminescent properties of (Lu,Y)2SiO5:Ce films and crystals.•Strong influence of lead related centers on the light yield of (Lu,Y)2SiO5:Ce films scintillators.
