Abstract

Yb³⁺-doped (Lu,Y)AlO₃ single crystals have been grown by the micro-pulling-down method with a radio-frequency heating system. Starting melt compositions of Lu_xY_0.9-xYb_0.1 AlO₃ were varied with x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.35, and 0.4. The best Yb ³⁺-doped (Lu,Y)AlO₃ single crystals were obtained applying a pulling rate of 0.12 mm/min. To investigate the compositional homogeneity, the effective segregation coefficient of Lu and Yb ions was estimated k ^eff = 1.02 and 1.05 for Lu_0.2Y_0.7Yb _0.1AlO₃ crystal, respectively. Absorption, radio-luminescence and luminescence decay kinetic of Yb³⁺-doped (Lu,Y)AlO₃ was investigated for room temperature conditions and found to be similar to that of Yb³⁺-doped YAlO₃. Very fast charge transfer luminescence of Yb³⁺ in the near ultraviolet to visible spectral range and the high density of the LuAlO₃ make this material a promising candidate for fast scintillators.
