Abstract

Many scintillator materials have been used as a single crystal with high transparency and the quality affects the luminescent and scintillation properties. We have developed advanced crystal growth techniques that lead to the material research of novel scintillator single crystals and device implementation of scintillators. Shape-controlled scintillator single crystals were grown from the melt directly by the micro-pulling-down (μ-PD) method using specially designed crucibles. In addition, fiber and bulk single crystals of halide scintillator with high hygroscopicity could be grown by the halide-μ-PD (H-μ-PD) and halide-Vertical Bridgman (H-VB) methods. Recently, we developed the growth method using a tungsten crucible for oxide scintillator single crystals with high melting point over 2200°C.
