Synthesis optimization and charge carrier transfer mechanism in LiLuSiO₄:Ce, Tm storage phosphor

LiLuSiO₄:Ce and LiLuSiO₄:Ce, Tm show very efficient charge carrier storage properties upon beta irradiation after samples have received treatment in vacuum. They outperform the commercial storage phosphor BaFBr(I):Eu²⁺ in many aspects. The influence of the synthesis conditions, Ce and Tm concentration,...
