Growth and luminescence properties of Pr3+-doped single crystalline films of garnets and perovskites

Peculiarities of growth of single crystalline films (SCF) of Pr3+ doped Y3Al5O12 and Lu3Al5O12 garnets and YAlO3 and LuAlO3 perovskites by the liquid phase epitaxy method from melt-solutions based on PbO–B2O3 flux as well as luminescent and scintillation properties of these SCFs were studied in this work. Dependence the intensity of the Pr3+ d-f and f-f-luminescence on the activator concentration and influence of Pb2+ flux dopant on the light yield of SCFs of the mentioned garnets and perovskites were analyzed.
