Abstract

This paper reports on the preparation and growth of Eu-doped strontium iodide (SrI₂) single crystals by modified micro-pulling-down method. Influence of the Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ (introduced in form of EuI₂ and EuCl₃) on the luminescence and scintillation properties is analyzed. Sufficient optical quality of prepared single crystals was obtained allowing further characterization of their absorption, radio- and photoluminescence spectra. Photoluminescence and scintillation decay time of grown SrI₂ crystals irradiated under γ-ray source were evaluated as well.
