Synthesis and Scintillation of Single Crystal and Polycrystalline Rare-Earth-Activated Lutetium Aluminum Garnet

Single crystals with composition Lu3Al5O12 were synthesized using Czochralski and micro-pulling-down melt growth techniques. Polycrystalline ceramics of the same composition were synthesized by vacuum annealing of powders prereacted using a citrate-nitrate combustion technique and by spark-plasma-si...
