Abstract :
Emission, excitation and X-ray excited spectra together with fluorescence and scintillation decays of Ce3+-doped LuAlO3 single crystals are presented. The results have shown that LuA103:Ce could be a fast (π= 17 ns) and efficient scintillator. Comparison of the X-ray excited spectra of LuA103:Ce and BGO crystals resulted in an estimate of the light yield of LuAlO3 of about 10000 photons/MeV for a Ce3+ concentration of about 0.01 at% in the LuAlO3 crystal matrix.
