Effect of various impurities on luminescent properties of cerium fluoride

Scintillation properties of cerium fluoride crystals doped with different di-, tri-, and four-valent cations have been studied. Luminescence spectra, light output and kinetics have been measured. The influence of the valence state of the impurity on the scintillation properties of cerium fluoride is discussed.© (2003) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
