The calculated results indicate that in the lightly doped Y^3＋ ：PWO crystal, the main compensating mechanism is [2Ypb^＋ ＋ VPb^2-], and in the heavily doped Y^3＋ ：PWO crystal, it will bring interstitial oxygen ions to compensate the positive electricity caused by YPb^＋, forming defect clusters of [2Ypb^＋ ＋Oi^2-] in the crystal. The electronic structures of Y3＋ ：PWO with different defect models are calculated using the DV-Xα method. It can be concluded from the electronic structures that, for lightly doped cases, the energy gap of the crystal would be broadened and the 420nm absorption band will be restricted; for heavily doped cases, because of the existence of interstitial oxygen ions, it can bring a new absorption band and reduce the radiation hardness of the crystal.展开更多

Combining with the radiative lifetimes of the manifolds calculated on the basis of the modified J-O theory, the main mechanisms for the fluorescence quenching of the manifolds were analyzed. The multi-phonon relaxation and the cross-relaxation energy transfer are the major reasons for the fluorescence quenching of the ^3P0 and ^1D2 manifolds, respectively. The Inokuti-Hirayama model was used to analyze the fluorescence decay curve of the ^1D2 manifold and the cross-relaxation of dlpole-dipole interaction was confirmed. Consequently, the ^3p0 manifold is more favorable as an upper laser level than the ^1D2 manifold.展开更多

Compared with undoped PbWO4, the transmittance and emission peak intensity of Y∶Sb∶PbWO 4 crystals were obviously improved. In addition, its transmittance cutoff wavelength and emission peak shifted to the shorter one. The mechanism of effect of Y and Sb on the transmittance spectra was briefly discussed. The light yield of Y∶Sb∶PbWO 4 crystals was 25p.e./MeV, which was two times of that of undoped PbWO 4. Our experiments showed that Y and Sb co-doping was a selectable method to improve the luminescence property of PbWO 4.展开更多

It is possible that the excitation states of Gd 3+ locate in the conduction band of PbWO 4 crystal. The luminescent intensity of the green and the blue band of PbWO 4 emission increases by doping with about 0 005% and 0 01% (molar fraction) Gd 3+ respectively. Mechanism of this enhancement of PbWO 4∶Gd 3+ luminescence is probably due to energy transfer from Gd 3+ to PbWO 4 host in the crystal. The PbWO 4 doped with low concentration of Gd (about 0 005%～0 01%) is a good scintillating material.展开更多
