摘要
Eutectic crystal of 0.5% Eu-doped 30LaAlO(3)-70Al(2)O(3) (vol %) was prepared by micro-pulling down (mu-PD) technique under nitrogen atmosphere. Being excited at a wavelength of 320 nm, the crystal exhibited intense emission band with a maximum at 450 nm which is corresponding to 4f(6)5d-4f(7)(S-8(7/2)) transitions of Eu2+. The decay time and fluorescence quantum efficiency (QE) were determined to be about 475 ns and 60%, respectively. When alpha-ray excited the crystal, both Eu2+ 4f(6)5d-4f(7)(S-8(7/2)) and Eu3+ 4f(6)-4f(6)(D-5(0)-E-7(1,2)) emission peaks were observed at 435 nm and 600 nm. By the pulse height spectra, the relative scintillation light yield of the crystal was about 4% compared with that of BGO commercial scintillator. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
