Abstract

In this study, we fabricated Cs₃ScCl₆ crystals doped with different concentrations of Ce and investigated their luminescence properties. In both the photoluminescence (PL) and scintillation spectra, emission bands attributable to Ce³⁺ 5d–4f transition were observed. The PL temporal profiles revealed decay time constants of ~35 ns, which are typical values for Ce³⁺ 5d–4f transition. In the scintillation temporal profiles, two decay components were observed. The fast and slow components could be attributed to Ce³⁺ 5d–4f luminescence and self-trapped excitons (STEs) or a slow energy transfer from STEs to Ce³⁺, respectively. The maximum light yield was 9200 photons/MeV for a Ce concentration of 0.5 mol%.
