Scintillation properties of LuAP and LuYAP crystals activated with Cerium and Molybdenum

TLDR
In this article, the Czochralski method was used to grow lutetium-yttrium aluminum perovskite (LuAlO3, LuAP) scintillator crystals.
Abstract
Cerium and molybdenum-activated lutetium aluminum perovskite (LuAlO3, LuAP) and mixed lutetium-yttrium aluminum perovskite (LuxY1−xAlO3, LuYAP) scintillator crystals have been grown by the Czochralski method at the Institute of Electronic Materials Technology (ITME, Warsaw). In this paper we report the measurements of scintillation light yields, absorption spectra, scintillation time profiles, low temperature thermoluminescence, and room temperature afterglow, performed on polished 2×2×10 mm3 pixel samples cut from larger boules. We show that scintillation properties of the LuAP:Ce and LuAP:Ce,Mo crystals from ITME place them among the best crystals produced commercially.

X-ray Scintillation in Lead Halide Perovskite Crystals

TL;DR: X-ray excited thermoluminescence measurements indicate the absence of deep traps and a very small density of shallow trap states, which lessens after-glow effects and highlights the potential of 2D metal halide perovskites for large-area and low-cost scintillator devices for medical, security and scientific applications.
