Abstract:

This report presents the luminescence and scintillation response of Ce3+-doped oxide glasses with high Gd2O3 (30 mol%) content. The characteristic emission of Ce3+ 5d → 4f transition peaking around 380 nm was observed in its luminescence spectra under UV and X-ray excitation. Photoluminescence decay kinetics was governed by a few tens of nanoseconds decay time. The integral scintillation efficiency of about 22% of that of the Bi4Ge3O12 scintillator was obtained under X-ray irradiation. The light yield and its dependence on the integration time were measured and compared with that of the Bi4Ge3O12 crystal. The total mass attenuation coefficient at 662 keV γ-rays was also determined and compared with the theoretical one calculated using the WinXCom program.
