Van der Kolk, E. (author), De Haas, J.T.M. (author), Bos, A.J.J. (author), Van Eijk, C.W.E. (author), Dorenbos, P. (author)A combined photoconductivity, absorption, and thermoluminescence study was performed to understand the absence of luminescence from Ce3+ in LaAlO3:Ce3+. It is demonstrated that the absence of luminescence is the result of Ce3+ ionization from the 5d excited states, which are all located in the conduction band. Ce3+ ionization is accompanied by...journal article 2007

Selling, J. (author), Schweizer, S. (author), Birowosuto, M.D. (author), Dorenbos, P. (author)Single crystals of Ce-activated BaCl2, BaBr2, and BaI2 were investigated under x-ray and ?-ray excitation. The Ce3+-related x-ray excited luminescence in BaBr2 shifts significantly to longer wavelengths upon increasing the doping level from 0.1% to 1%. In Ce-activated BaCl2 only a slight shift can be observed. BaI2 does not show any Ce3+-related...journal article 2007

(author)Here, we report the scintillation properties of LaBr3?xIx:5%Ce3+ with four different compositions of x, i.e., x = 0.75, 1.5, 2, and 2.25. Radioluminescence spectra reveal a shift of the emission wavelength with the LaBr3 to LaI3 ratio. LaBr1.5I1.5:5%Ce3+ shows the highest scintillation light yield of 58?000?photons/MeV, whereas LaBr0.75I2.25:5...journal article 2008
