Abstract

Ytterbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnets (Yb:YAG) are known as IR laser crystals. Previously, we have shown that they are also fast scintillators in the near UV region. In this work we report on the measurements of I R scintillation properties of Yb(10%):YAG crystal. It emits at room temperature at 1.03 mum with a light yield of (79+/-8) x 103 photons/MeV and a decay time of 1.9 ms when excited by 90 keV electrons. With decreasing temperature both light yield and decay time decrease. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
