Abstract

The conditions and the mechanisms of crystallization by liquid-phase epitaxy of undoped and Ce3+-doped RAlO3 (R = Lu, Lu-Y, Y, Tb) single-crystalline films on YAlO3 single-crystalline substrates at a considerable mismatch between the lattice constants of the single-crystalline films and the substrate are analyzed. The maximum values of this mismatch at which the stable growth of the single-crystalline films is observed are determined. It is demonstrated that transition layers are present between the substrates and the grown single-crystalline films in which the difference between the lattice parameters of the single-crystalline film and the substrate is diminished. The optical and luminescence characteristics of the undoped and Ce3+-doped RAlO3 (R = Y, Y-Lu, Lu, Tb) single-crystalline films, as well as the scintillation characteristics of the (Lu-Y)AlO3: Ce single-crystalline films under excitation by alpha-particles of the 239Pu source (5.15 MeV), are investigated.
