摘要
Cerium-doped lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG:Ce) and yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG:Ce) transparent ceramics of same dimension were fabricated and their optical and scintillation properties were studied. LuAG:Ce transparent ceramic showed higher light yield under UV and X-ray excitation with respect to YAG:Ce transparent ceramic. YAG:Ce transparent ceramic showed higher light yield under gamma excitation and better energy resolution, which could be due to the considerable amount of slower emission (38.5%) in LuAG:Ce as well as lower optical transparency with respect to YAG:Ce ceramic.
