About 20 mum thick Ce-doped Lu 3Al 5O 12 thin films grown by Liquid Phase Epitaxy and thin plates of similar thickness prepared by mechanical cutting and polishing from Czochralski grown crystals are used in 2D-imaging experiment down to mum 2D-resolution. Their scintillation response is also measured under alpha-particle excitation and performance of film and bulk material is mutually compared.

Abstract
About 20 mum thick Ce-doped Lu 3Al 5O 12 thin films grown by Liquid Phase Epitaxy and thin plates of similar thickness prepared by mechanical cutting and polishing from Czochralski grown crystals are used in 2D-imaging experiment down to mum 2D-resolution. Their scintillation response is also measured under alpha-particle excitation and performance of film and bulk material is mutually compared. Furthermore, scintillation and thermoluminescence characteristics of UV emitting Sc-doped LuAG grown by Czochralski method are presented since this system is a candidate material for UV emission-based 2D sensors with improved diffraction limit with respect to the presently used Ce-doped aluminum garnetsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
