Abstract

See full text

The transparent polycrystalline optoceramic has single grains with a symmetric cubic crystal structure and at least one optically active center. The optoceramic has the following formula: A2+xByDzE7, wherein 0≦x≦1.1, 0≦y≦3, 0≦z≦1.6, and 3x+4y+5z=8, and wherein A is at least one trivalent rare earth cation, B is at least one tetravalent cation, D is at least one pentavalent cation, and E is at least one divalent anion. The method of making the optoceramic includes preparing a powder mixture from starting materials, pre-sintering, sintering and then compressing to form the optoceramic. Scintillator media made from the optoceramic are also described.
