First Principle Quantum Description of the Energetics Associated with LaBr3, LaCl3, and Ce Doped Scintillators

Conference McIlwain, Michael E ; Gao, Da ; Thompson, Nick

Considerable interest is given to the excellent scintillation properties of cerium doped lanthanum chloride (LaCl3) and lanthanum bromide (LaBr3). The scintillation efficiencies are much greater than other materials, even those containing cerium. This high efficiency is attributed to the high mobility of electrons and holes, unique placement of the cerium 5d states within the band gap, and energy of the band gap. To better understand the scintillation process and better define the nature of the Self Trapped Exciton (STE) within these unique scintillation materials, density functional theory (DFT), and Ab-inito (HF-MP2) calculations are reported. DFT calculations have yielded a qualitativemore »« less

Scintillation properties of some Ce[sup 3+] and Pr[sup 3+] doped inorganic crystals

Conference Dorenbos, P ; Visser, R ; Eijk, C W.E. van ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (United States)

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.

First principles study of the structural, electronic, and optical properties of Sn²⁺-doped ZnO–P₂O₅ glasses [First principles study of the structural, electronic and optical properties of Sn-doped ZnO-P2O5 glasses]

Journal Article Kweon, Kyoung E. ; Lordi, Vincenzo - Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids

The atomic-structural, electronic, and optical properties of Sn-doped ZnO–P₂O₅ glasses are examined using combined semi-empirical and density functional theory calculations. From model structures for two different ZnO–P₂O₅ glass compositions, it is found that these glasses consist of nearly ideal tetrahedral PO₄ unit and largely distorted ZnO₄ and ZnO₅ units. The concentration of ZnO₅ units is calculated to increase and exceed that of ZnO₄ as the amount of ZnO in the glass is increased. Also, the concentration of terminal oxygen atoms shared by two Zn neighbors is largely increased for 70ZnO:30P₂O₅ (70:30) glass compared to 60:40 glass, which can be rationalizedmore »« less
