Abstract

Scintillation properties of Pr³⁺-doped 20Al(PO₃) ₃-80 LiF glasses melted in N₂ were investigated to seek a candidate for a scattered neutron scintillator in nuclear fusion diagnostics. The fluorescence lifetime of the sample with 217 nm ultraviolet femtosecond pulse excitation was measured to be 19.5 ns. More importantly, the fluorescence lifetime with alpha particles from ²⁴¹Am radioisotope excitation was determined to be 6.7 ns. Based on our material design strategy, we have successfully developed the fast response time praseodymium-doped ⁶Li glass scintillator for scattered neutron diagnostics.
