## Description

- description: Ce:Li6Y(BO3)3 (LYBO) is a well-known candidate for thermal neutron
    detection with a very high Li concentration (3.06 × 1022 /cm3). So far, as-grown
    crystals exhibit a milky appearance that compromises their performance as scintillators.
    Current work demonstrates for the first time the growth of scattering-free undoped
    and Ce-doped LYBO by a thermal quenching process. The origin and features of the
    scattering centers are investigated in detail. Furthermore, the annealing treatment
    for the scintillation activation is studied, finding that the reduction in oxygen
    vacancies is mandatory. Under thermal neutron irradiation, the annealed scattering-free
    Ce:LYBO single crystal achieves a record-high light yield of 6200 ph/n in a single
    decay with a lifetime as short as 24 ns.
