Patent number: 6818896Abstract: A monoclinic single crystal with a lutetium pyrosilicate structure is described. The crystal is formed by crystallization from a congruent molten composition of LU2(1-x)M2xSi2O7 where LU is lutetium or a lutetium-based alloy which also includes one or more of scandium, ytterbium, indium, lanthanum, and gadolinium; where M is cerium or cerium partially substituted with one or more of the elements of the lanthanide family excluding lutetium; and where x is defined by the limiting level of LU substitution with M in a monoclinic crystal of the lutetium pyrosilicate structure. The LU alloy should contain greater than about 75 weight percent lutetium. The crystals exhibit excellent and reproducible scintillation response to gamma radiation.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Saint-Gobain Cristaux & DetecteursInventors: Damien Pauwels, Bruno Viana, Andree Kahn-Harari, Pieter Dorenbos, Carel Wilhelm Eduard Van Eijk
