Abstract

We present the first report about growth and optical properties of pure Ytterbium Alluminium perovskites single crystals (YbAlO₃). The sample crystal structure was studied and assigned by means of Raman spectroscopy while the photoluminescence measurements from Yb³⁺ charge-transfer state show a broad ultraviolet emission bands with nanosecond lifetimes at room temperature. Yb emissions are also studied as a function of temperature revealing an abrupt quenching in the 180-240 K range. The fast time decay and the high material density suggest Ytterbium Alluminium perovskites crystal as a good candidate for the development of fast scintillators for high energy physics applications.
