Abstract:
Trivalent ions codoping Mo:PWO boules were grown along the c-axis using the Czochralski technique. Trivalent ions codoping improved the fast components of luminescence for Mo:PWO due to suppression/compensation of hole-trapping centers. Correspondingly, trivalent ions codoping increased the fast components of the light yield. The La3+ and Gd3+ concentration in the crystal gradually decreased along the growth direction because they increased the melting point. The Y3+ concentration increased along this direction due to the different influence on the melting point. Compared with La:Mo:PWO, Y:Mo:PWO shows a more uniform transmittance along the growth direction.
