Complex Electronic Structure of Rare Earth Activators in Scintillators
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
To aid and further the understanding of the microscopic mechanisms behind the scintillator nonproportionality that leads to degradation of the attainable energy resolution, we have developed theoretical and experimental algorithms and procedures to determine the position of the 4f energy levels of rare earth dopants relative to the host band edge states.
