Abstract

Neutron detection scintillators based on rare-earth activated transparent glass and glass-ceramics are reported. Ce³⁺ doped gadolinium halides in ⁶LiF modified aluminosilicate glass matrices were synthesized by a melt-quench method followed by annealing. Their optical properties and alpha, neutron scintillation performance were investigated and compared to conventional ⁶Li-based scintillating glass.
