Abstract
The Czochralski growth of high quality single crystals of cerium doped mixed oxyorthosilicates, (Lu1-xGdx)(2)SiO5, where, x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0 .9, and 1.0 is reported. Their growth conditions, defects, structural stability, physical and scintillation properties versus composition ha ve been evaluated. The mixed crystals can be an alternative to both LS O and GSO scintillators.
