AbstractAbstract
[en] The cathodoluminescence (CL) characterizations of LuAlO:Ce,Mg (LuAG:Ce,Mg) and of multicomponent (LuGd)(GaAl)O:Ce,Mg (LuGAGG:Ce,Mg) single‐crystalline garnet films are supported by the optical absorption spectroscopy. Using this approach, the influence of the Mg‐to‐Ce concentration ratio on the CL spectra and the CL decay is analyzed. The crucial role of stable Ce centers in CL is shown in Mg‐rich film studies. Although the CL intensity is somewhat reduced, drastic improvements in timing performance are demonstrated, including the CL decay time as low as 4.2 ns and the afterglow as low as 0.015% at 500 ns after the e‐beam excitation cutoff. These results predetermine the utilization of the LuAG:Ce,Mg and LuGAGG:Ce,Mg single‐crystalline films in e‐beam detection systems, where especially fast scintillator response is crucial.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Optical and luminescence properties were studied in the Ce3+ doped yttrium and lutetium aluminum garnets (YAG, LuAG) admixed by Gd3+ and Ga3+ ions. The single crystalline films were grown by liquid phase epitaxy. Energy transfer from Gd3+ sensitizer to Ce3+ activator ions was established. This energy transfer was observed in a broad range of Gd concentrations which may point to longer range interaction between Gd3+ and Ce3+ ions. (copyright 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Y3Al5O12:Ce (YAG:Ce) thin films were grown from PbO-,BaO-, and MoO3-based fluxes using the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method. Photoelectron yield, its time dependence within 0.5-10 μs shaping time, and energy resolution of these samples were measured under α-particle excitation. For comparison a sample of the Czochralski grown bulk YAG:Ce single crystal was measured as well. Photoelectron yield values of samples grown from the BaO-based flux were found superior to other LPE films and comparable with that of the bulk single crystal. The same is valid also for the time dependence of photoelectron yield. Obtained results are discussed taking into account the influence of the flux and technology used. Additionally, α particle energy deposition in very thin films is modelled and discussed. (copyright 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim) (orig.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The single crystalline Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG) and Y3Al5O12 (YAG) garnet layers doped by Ce3+ ions were grown by the liquid phase epitaxy from the flux. The effect of the flux composition, growth conditions, and substrate polishing on the layer morphology, creation of defects, and on optical and emission properties of layers was studied. The defects typical of the epitaxial growth are discussed.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Very thin scintillator imaging plates have recently become of great interest. In high resolution X-ray radiography, very thin scintillator layers of about 5–20 μm are used to achieve 2D-spatial resolutions below 1 μm. Thin screens can be prepared by mechanical polishing from single crystals or by epitaxial growth on single-crystal substrates using the Liquid Phase Epitaxy technique (LPE). Other types of screens (e.g. deposited powder) do no reach required spatial resolutions. This work compares LPE-grown YAG and LuAG scintillator films doped with different rare earth ions (Cerium, Terbium and Europium). Two different fluxes were used in the LPE growth procedure. These LPE films are compared to YAG:Ce and LuAG:Ce screens made from bulk single crystals. Relative light yield was detected by a highly sensitive CCD camera. Scintillator screens were excited by a micro-focus X-ray source and the generated light was gathered by the CCD camera’s optical system. Scintillator 2D-homogeneity is examined in an X-ray imaging setup also using the CCD camera.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The films were prepared on LuAG or YAG substrates from PbO-B2O3 (PB) and PbO-B2O3-BaF2 (BBB) solutions. The photoelectron yield was highest for films prepared from BBB. The best of them were only slightly inferior to LuAG:Ce crystals prepared by the Czochralski method. Epitaxial layers prepared from PB provided a faster response, their photoelectron yield, however, was about 4 times lower, presumably due to contamination by Pb and Pt. (P.A.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Liquid phase epitaxy method was used to prepare YAG:Ce and YAG films (thickness 2-25μm) from the fluxes based either on PbO or BaO. 4f→5d bands of Ce3+ ions were observed peaking at 340 and 457 nm. A hybrid photomultiplier was used to measure scintillation response of the LPE films using 239Pu alpha particle source. Some of YAG:Ce films show photoelectron yield close to that of YAG:Ce single crystal. Iron contamination degrades significantly the film scintillation performance

AbstractAbstract
[en] Scintillating properties of Ce3+-doped (Lu,Y) aluminum garnet single crystalline films (SCF) were investigated. Thin SCF films of thickness between 1 and 30 μm were grown by a liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method in various fluxes. The α-particle excitation (mainly 5.4857 MeV line of 241Am) of pulse height spectra is used to measure scintillation response of SCF, especially peak of those α-rays which are totally absorbed in the films. Detailed studies and evaluation of scintillation measurements of large sets of Ce3+-doped SCF (Lu,Y) aluminum garnets showed that at present time (i) YAG:Ce SCF have comparable scintillation properties as YAG:Ce single crystals, especially their Nphels photoelectron yields are the same while (ii) scintillation properties of LuAG:Ce SCF do not reach those of LuAG:Ce single crystal.
