Abstract
Dy:CaHfO3 single crystals were synthesized by the floating zone technique and examined for their photoluminescence and scintillation properties. Under excitation at 350 nm, the 3.0 % Dy:CaHfO3 showed the highest quantum yield of 72.5 % among all the samples. Under X-ray irradiation, all the samples showed multiple emission peaks at 480, 575, and 670 nm associated with the 4f–4f transitions of Dy3+. Pulse height spectra of 137Cs as a -ray source revealed 3.0 % Dy:CaHfO3 showed the highest light yield of 20,000 photons/MeV among the samples.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
