Abstract
Ce and Mg Co-Doped LiCaAlF6 (LiCAF) Single Crystals Were Grown by Micro-Pulling-down (μ-PD) Method and the Optical and Scintillation Properties of Obtained Crystals Were Measured. The Grown Crystals Were Crack-Free and Had 30-50 mm in Length and 2 Mm in Diameter. Absorption Coefficients Were Proportional to the Ce Nominal Concentrations. the Radioluminescence Spectra under 5.5 Mev Alpha-Ray Irradiation Showed Emission Peak at 290 and 310 nm due to Ce3+ 5d-4f Transitions, and Were Agreement with those of Ce Single-Doped LiCaF. The Highest Light Yield under 5.5 Mev Alpha-Ray Irradiation of Ce 4% and Mg 2% Co-Doped LiCaF Was Found to Be 0.6 Times than that of Lithium Glass Scintillator GS-20. Comparing the Light Yield of Licaf Samples with the Fixed Ce Nominal Concentration and Different Mg Co-Doped Concentrations, the Light Yield Increased with an Increase of Mg Nominal Concentration. the Alpha-Ray Excited Decay Times Were Constantly 45-50 ns.
