Abstract
In this study, the photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray-induced scintillation of trivalent cerium, Ce3+, in strontium borate glasses was examined. As no precipitated crystallites were observed, the slight coloration of the glasses was attributed to the formation of defects that are inactive in electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Both the Ce3+/(Ce3++Ce4+) ratio, which was estimated based on the Ce LIII-edge in X-ray absorption near edge structure analysis, and the internal quantum efficiency of Ce-doped glasses increased as the amount of Ce(OCOCH3)3·H2O, which acted as a reducing agent, was increased. Although the PL intensity was independent of the temperature in the range of 10–300 K, the X-ray induced scintillation exhibited thermal quenching behavior with an activation energy of 0.14 eV.
