| Popis: | Excellent properties of optical ceramics initially developed as laser materials make them attractive for scintillator applications. The effects of the porosity of ceramics on their luminescence properties is analyzed using a simplified model to account for scattering. The results of the study of optical and luminescence properties of a concentration series of YAG:Yb ceramics fabricated by vacuum sintering and nanocrystalline technology (VSN method) in a wide UV and VUV and X-rays excitation energy range are presented. The results are compared to those obtained for Yb-doped single crystals and undoped YAG ceramics and single crystals. |
