L. Dmitruk et al., SCINTILLATING HFF4-BASED GLASSES DOPED CERIUM CHLORIDE AND CERIUM OXIDE COMPOUNDS, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 213, 1997, pp. 311-314
Fluorohafnate glasses (HfF4-BaF2-CeF3-AlF3-NaF system) doped with CeCl
3 and some cerium oxide compounds were prepared. The effect of these a
dditives on both crystallization behavior and scintillating properties
(light yield, emission spectra, decay time) was studied. Glass-formin
g ability was estimated as a function of additive contents. Stable gla
sses with similar to 12 at.% Ce3+ and increased light yield were obtai
ned. A shift of the emission band to longer wavelengths for glasses do
ped with some oxides, was found.
