Abstract
Cerium‐activated phosphors are characterized by their fast luminescence decay. Gadolinium orthosilicate (Gd2SiO5) is a material possessing a high atomic number, and can also play host to the cerium activator. Cerium‐doped Gd2SiO5 single crystals were grown by the Czochralski technique, and their luminescence properties were examined. The light output was 1.3 times larger than that of the best Bi4Ge3O12, and the decay constant was 60 ns at room temperature.Keywords
