摘要
In this paper, we report on the photoluminescence and scintillation properties of a newly developed CsCaCl3:Ce (0.5 mol%) crystalline scintillator grown by the vertical Bridgman method. The fluorescence quantum efficiency for the Ce3+ characteristic emission bands centered at around 350-400 nm was 76% under excitation at 330 nm light. The photoluminescence decay time of the Ce3+ was approximately 32 ns. When x-ray excited the crystal, intense emission bands were observed at 350-400 nm, and could be attributed to the Ce3+ emission. The scintillation light yield of the developed crystal was similar to 7600 ph MeV-1 compared to a NaI:Tl commercial scintillator, and the principal scintillation decay time was approximately 340 ns plus two fast components of around 1.6 ns and 45 ns.
