Abstract
Correlated measurements of emission spectra, photoluminescence and scintillation decays, thermoluminescence, and light yield were performed on a selected set of undoped and La-doped PbWO4 single crystals. The samples were grown from 5N purity raw powders and show the blue emission component only. Distinct influence of La doping was found in the decays, thermoluminescence and light yield characteristics. It is discussed in the light of the direct influence of La doping on suppressing the creation of point defect centers in the PbWO4 lattice, which are involved in the energy transfer and storage processes in this material.
