Abstract

The garnet Ca3Sc2Si3O12 (CSSO) and the silico-carnotite Ca3Y2Si3O12 (CYSO) and Ca3Lu2Si3O12 (CLSO) materials, both undoped and doped with Pr3+, have been synthesized by solid state reaction at high temperature. The luminescence spectroscopy and the excited state dynamics of the materials have been studied upon VUV and X-ray excitation using synchrotron radiation. All doped samples have shown efficient 5d-4f emission upon direct VUV excitation of 5d levels, but only CSSO:Pr3+ shows luminescence upon interband VUV or X-ray excitation. The VUV excited emission spectra of CYSO:Pr3+ and CLSO:Pr3+ show features attributed to emission from two distinct sites accommodating the Pr3+ dopant. The decay kinetics of the Pr3+ 5d-4f emission in CSSO:Pr3+ upon VUV excitation across the conduction band are characterized by decay times in the range 25-28 ns with no significant rise after the excitation pulse. They appear to be faster upon X-ray irradiation than for VUV excitation. Weak afterglow components are attributed to defect luminescence.
