Paper Abstract

Absorption, luminescence, ESR and ESA spectra and TL glow curves of YAG:Ce crystals codoped with Mg2+ ions and subjected to various treatments have been measured. The variations induced by irradiations in gamma and proton beams, and by thermal annealings under oxidation and reduction conditions point to large variations of the cerium ion valency. The ESA spectra of Mg-free and Mg-codoped crystals are clearly different with the peak value in the YAG:Ce, Mg sample higher and shifted towards the shorter wavelengths. Although the TL glow curves reveal the existence of the same major traps in both materials, their role in the overall deexcitation process is strongly modified upon Mg-codoping.
