説明:

In pursuit of a single-crystal scintillator that is free from toxic elements and has scintillation properties comparable to com-mercial CdWO4 in terms of light yield, afterglow, and stopping power, transparent and colorless Y1-xTbxTaO4 mixed single crystals are grown by the floating-zone technique and investigated for the first time as scintillators. With the substitution of Y3+ by Tb3+, the intrinsic UV photoluminescence from YTaO4, stemming from the Ta-O complex, gradually decreases till only the intraionic Tb3+ emissions remain for a Tb concentration below 5%. The optimum scintillation performance is found for 15% Tb concentration: the light yield is ~ 1.5 times that of CdWO4, while the density, the stopping power, and the after-glow are comparable. For concentrations above 15% Tb3+, the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction is found to be responsible for the concentration quenching. These results demonstrate the potential of Y0.85Tb0.15TaO4 single crystals as an environmen-tally friendly alternative to CdWO4
