Research Progress on Yb3+-doped Scintillation Crystals
|
Abstract:
The Yb3+-doped scintillation crystals are novel kinds of scintillators, which may be applied to the detection of the solar neutrinos. This paper briefly introduced the mechanism of charge transfer luminescence in scintillators containing Yb3+ ions, and the host effect on the thermal and concentrations quenching. This paper also reviewed the research development of Yb3+-doped garnet and perovskite crystals, especially on the growth, scintillation properties and promising application of Yb:YAG and Yb:YAP crystals. Finally the future research topics of the Yb3+-doped scintillation crystals were discussed.
