In this study,we aim to clarify the luminescence and scintillation performance of 0.2 at%Pr^(3+)-doped LuYAG scintillators with either zirconium or hafnium co-doping obtained using the micro-pulling-down(μ-PD)method....In this study,we aim to clarify the luminescence and scintillation performance of 0.2 at%Pr^(3+)-doped LuYAG scintillators with either zirconium or hafnium co-doping obtained using the micro-pulling-down(μ-PD)method.Under radiation excitation,scintillation properties such as light yield,decay time,and afterglow level were measured and compared to non-co-doped LuYAG:Pr^(3+).The positive effect of Zr and Hf co-doping is to significantly shorten the scintillation time response.The negative effect is the decrease of scintillation yield and increase of afterglow.We propose that the positively charged defects induced by Zr/Hf co-doping are responsible for the spatial correlated traps around Pr centers causing the shortened scintillation decay via non-radiative recombination processes,and the deep traps as well for the prolonged afterglow.展开更多
