Abstract

We have investigated optical and scintillation properties of LiGaO₂ and LiAlO₂ crystals. From the transmittance spectra, the absorption edges were found to be around 200 nm but wider band gap was confirmed for LiAlO₂ than LiGaO₂. Both photoluminescence and scintillation spectra showed a broad emission band peaking at 340 nm in the both crystals. The scintillation decay times of LiGaO₂ were 460 ns and 2.8 µs while that of LiAlO₂ was 2 µs. Under neutron irradiation from ²⁵²Cf, the absolute scintillation light yields of LiGaO₂ and LiAlO₂ were 3300 ± 300 and 7200 ± 700 ph/n, respectively.
