Abstract
Yttrium aluminium perovskite activated by cerium (formula YAlO3:Ce, ab breviated YAP:Ce) is systematically investigated in view of its use as efficient scintillator for various applications. The basic physical a nd chemical properties of YAP:Ce monocrystals are summarized in this p aper. The luminescence, scintillation and absorption characteristics, the gamma-ray detection capability, energy resolution in the range of 30-600 keV, light yield and radiation hardness are presented and compa red with existing literature.
