The scintillations properties of Ce[sup 3+] and Pr[sup 3+] doped complex fluoride crystals of composition CsGd[sub 2]F[sub 7] and K[sub 2]YF[sub 5] and of Pr[sup 3+] doped Y[sub 3]Al[sub 5]O[sub 12] single crystals were studied by means of x-ray and gamma ray excitation. The Ce[sub 3+] and Pr[sub 3+] doped fluoride crystals show 5d-4f luminescences at wavelengths near 340 nm and 240 nm, respectively. 5d-4f luminescence of Pr[sup 3+] doped Y[sub 3]Al[sub 5]O[sub 12] is observed between 300 and 400 nm. The authors present the absolute light yield in photons/MeV together with results from scintillation decay time experiments.
