Growth and study of scintillation properties of BaBrI crystals activated by samarium ions
Abstract:
The BaBrI crystals activated by Sm$^{2+}$ ions were grown by the Bridgman method. The actual samarium content in the obtained samples was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The paper presents the results of a study of the optical and scintillation characteristics of the obtained crystals: photoluminescence, X-ray luminescence and absorption spectra. The light yield of the luminescence of the studied samples was estimated.
