Scintillation crystals based on substitutional solid solutions

The book is devoted to the development of the scientific and technical bases of the development of highly efficient inorganic scintillation crystals based on substitutional solid solutions. Th e structural, luminescence, and scintillation properties of the obtained oxide crystals were investigated. The conditions for growing large-size oxide crystals of solid solutions by the Czochralski method and crystalline fibers of solid solutions by the micro-pulling-down method (μ-PD) were determined. A general phenomenological approach to the targeted
production of crystals with improved light yield, in particular, a tendency towards an increase in the light yield of the solid solution in mixed systems has been determined.
