FACTS ABOUT ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL REVEALED

Radiation induced recharging of Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions in Ce and Nd doped yttrium-aluminium garnet crystals was observed. This result will depend on the Ce3+ ion focus and the sort of ionizing radiation.The results demonstrate that the growth ambiance strain has a more major affect on defect development as compared to the crystal rotation rate.
