13 Scintillation performance of LuAG:Ce,Mg shaping time dependent Light yield ~110% ~70% ~15% Annealed % Mg 2+ ceramics show the highest LY values; Annealed LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramics show faster scintillation response than LuAG:Ce crystal and 0%Mg doped LuAG:Ce ceramic.
14 Energy resolution non-proportionality for the best LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramic compared with the best LuAG:Ce SC ~8.1% for crystal ~4.9 % for ceramic ER: Annealed LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramic is better than LuAG:Ce SC; non-proportionality: LuAG:Ce SC is better than LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramic

18 Why scintillation performance of LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramics is improved? 2 3 h (520nm) h (520nm) 3 CB Electron trap O Mg 2+ Ce 3+ Ce 4+ VB Electronic structure of O- center C. Hu, S. Liu, et al., Physica Status Solidi-RRL9 (2015) 245. (important) The effect of Mg 2+ : increase content of Ce 4+ centers, participate in scintillation,directly compete with electron traps for electron capture in step1; introduction of O - centers, providing an alternative fast channel for Ce 4+ centers to return back to its initial state efficiently in step 3.
19 Conclusions LuAG:0.3%Ce, x%mg ceramics with different Mg 2+ concentrations were developed. The content of Ce 4+ ions in LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramics increased nonlinearly with Mg 2+ concentrations. The highest LY was obtained when % Mg 2+ was codoped, which is comparable with the original Ce doping concentration. Compared with LuAG:Ce single crystal, LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramics are characterized by : Higher light yield, better ER & Faster scintillation response & Lower afterglow intensity better than that of the LuAG:Ce single crystal. The increase of Ce 4+ content and the introduction of O - centers could be the reasons for the improvement of scintillation properties of LuAG:Ce,Mg ceramics.
