摘要
Cerium-doped mixed oxide garnets are promising luminescent materials to use as LED phosphors or scintillators for radiation detectors. In this paper, temperature-dependent characteristics of Ce-doped multicomponent garnets ceramics have been studied under photo and X-ray excitation. Ceramic samples of Y(3)GaxAl(5)-xO(12):Ce-0.006 (x = 1, 2, 3, and 4) and of Gd(3)GaxAl(5)-xO(12:)Ce(0.006) (x = 1, 2, and 3) have been used. At high temperature, all samples showed decrease in the Ce3+ luminescence intensity, luminescence decay, and luminescence lifetime due to thermal ionization of Ce3+ excited 5d states. Values of activation energies of the thermal ionization process have been determined from photoluminescence lifetime measurements and shown in comparison with literature data. At low temperature, Gd-containing samples showed significant decrease in light output. In the same temperature range, large thermoluminescence peaks have been observed, indicating that the reduction of Ce3+ emission at low temperatures can be attributed to the localization of charge carriers on traps.
