Abstract
Correlated measurements of emission spectra, photoluminescence and sci ntillation decays, thermoluminescence, and light yield were performed on a selected set of undoped and La-doped PbWO4 single crystals. The s amples were grown from 5N purity raw powders and show the blue emissio n component only. Distinct influence of La doping was found in the dec ays, thermoluminescence and light yield characteristics. It is discuss ed in the light of the direct influence of La doping on suppressing th e creation of point defect centers in the PbWO4 lattice, which are inv olved in the energy transfer and storage processes in this material.
