Abstract

To develop new and efficient neutron scintillator, Ti-doped LiAlO ₂ single crystal was grown by micro-pulling-down method. The X-ray excited radioluminescence spectra and neutron light yield were measured. Positive effect of Mg codoping on the overall scintillation efficiency was found. The BaLu ₂F ₈ single crystal was grown by micro-pulling-down method using low temperature gradient at growth interface and applying quenching immediately after growth process.
