Abstract
Nd3+ doped single crystals, LaBr3:1.25% Nd 3+3+, LaBr3 :2.5% Nd3+3+, LaBr3 :5% Nd3+ and LaBr3 :10% Nd3+3+, were grown by vertical Bridgman process. The scintillation properties including light output, ene rgy resolution, time profile, energy proportionality of
the single crystals and the luminescence of polycrystalline power were measured. 2.5% Nd3+ doped LaBr 3 exhibited the best
scintillation properties while other doped ones weren’ t so transparent after polished.
