Abstract

The processes of crystallization by the method of liquid epitaxy are studied for the first time for single-crystal films of CdWO4 doped with the mercurylike ions Bi3+ and Pb2+, which can be used as thin-film components of combined scintillators for monitoring α- and β-activities. It is shown that in comparison with their solidcrystal analogs, the special features of these films consist in a longwave shift of the integral luminescence spectrum that is caused by high concentrations of the radiating complexes (VCd-WO6) with hvmax=2.05–2.15 eV and the “distorted” complexes (WO6)* in them. It is found that in the case of luminescence of single-crystal films CdWO4:Pb, radiation of mercurylike centers (PbO6) prevails with hvmax=2.87 eV, while in luminescence of CdWO4, radiation of centers (BiO6) with hvmax=2.16 eV and of complexes (VCd-WO6).
