Popis: Ce, Pr, and La-doped gadolinium pyrosilicate Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 (GPS) single crystals were grown by the Czochralski and Top Seeded Solution Growth (TSSG) techniques for the first time. Formation conditions of different pyrosilicate phases were determined. X-ray luminescence integral intensity of Ce-doped GPS is about one order of magnitude higher in comparison with gadolinium oxyorthosilicate Gd 2 SiO 5 :Ce (GSO:Ce). All samples demonstrate temperature stability of luminescence yield up to 400 K.
