Abstract
RE, Mn:YAP (RE=Yb and Ce) crystals with dimension of Φ 25Ã60 mm were successfully grown by the Czochralski method. The spectroscopic properties of RE, Mn:YAP (RE=Yb and Ce) crystals before and after γ-irradiation were investigated at room temperature. The results show that the content of Mn4+ ions was increased with the Yb3+ ions co-doping, but decreased by Ce3+ ions co-doping. Thermoluminescence (TL) spectra of the crystals indicate three steps of recombination, and the probable recombination processes were discussed.
