Abstract

Ce³⁺:(Lu_0.7Y_0.25La_0.05)₂O₃ transparent ceramics were fabricated with nanopowders and sintered in H₂ atmosphere. The spectral properties of Ce³⁺:(Lu_0.7Y_0.25La_0.05)₂O₃ transparent ceramics were investigated and the luminescence of Ce³⁺ in the solid solution of Lu₂O₃, Y₂O₃ and La₂O₃ has been found. The ceramics has high density of 8.10g/cm³ and short fluorescence lifetimes of 7.15 ns and 26.92 ns. It is expected to be a good fast response high temperature inorganic scintillating materials.
