Abstract
Cerium-doped gadolinium pyrosilicate single crystals Ce:Gd <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> Si <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> O <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">7</sub> (Ce:GPS) with various Ce concentrations of 2.5-30 mol% with respect to the total rare-earth sites were prepared by the floating zone method. Their scintillation performances were investigated under irradiation of gamma rays of <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">137</sup> Cs. The Ce concentration dependence of scintillation characteristics and high-performance scintillation characteristics were obtained: 3-6 times greater light output than that of BGO single crystals, rapid decay, and good energy resolutions of 5.1-8.4%. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction patterns of Ce:GPS revealed Ce concentration dependence of the crystal structure of Ce:GPS.
