(Received October 20, 2023; Accepted January 18, 2024)

Keywords: scintillator, photoluminescence, alkali halide, Bridgman–Stockbarger method, light yield

The photoluminescence and scintillation properties of KI:Eu synthesized by the vertical Bridgman–Stockbarger method were investigated. All the samples showed a broad peak at 430–450 nm under UV and X-ray irradiations, and the origin of emission was ascribed to the 4f65d1–4f7 transition of Eu2+. Furthermore, a tail emission at 500 nm under X-ray irradiation was observed, the origin of which could be ascribed to color centers associated with oxygen impurities. According to the pulse height spectra, the highest light yield (LY) under 241Am γ-ray (60 keV) irradiation was 3400 photons/MeV among the prepared samples. In terms of LY and afterglow, the optimal concentration of Eu was found to be 0.3%.
