Development of LuAG-based scintillator crystals – A review
Martin Nikl,Akira Yoshikawa,Kei Kamada,Karel Nejezchleb,Christopher R. Stanek,J.A. Mares,Karel Blazek +6 more
TL;DR: A review of research and development of Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG)-based single crystal scintillators is presented in this paper, where several different activators, namely Ce3+, Pr3+, Yb3+ and Sc3+ have been reported in the literature and such doped LuAG single crystals have been extensively studied to understand a number of issues.
