The scintillator is one of the phosphor materials that can convert the high energy ionizing radiations such as photons (X- or γ-ray), neutron, or charged particles into lower-energy photons such as ultraviolet (UV), visible, and near-infrared light. The combination of scintillator and photodetector has been widely used for radiation measuring instruments in many scientific fields. In 2003, the Ce-doped Lu₂Si₂O₇ (LPS) study presented a high light yield of 26,300 ph/MeV with a fast decay time of 40 ns. For the luminescence canter_, Tb³⁺ is famous for the green emission of 4f-4f transitions. However, in the past, the study of scintillation properties of Tb³⁺ scintillator was difficult due to the limitation of the instrument setup. Until recently, the scintillation light yield evaluation system for the scintillator with millisecond decay time has been successfully developed.This study is focused on the combination of Tb³⁺ with the pyrosilicate host including LPS, Y₂Si₂O₇ (YPS), Gd₂Si₂O₇ (GPS), and La₂Si₂O₇ (LaPS) on both Photoluminescence (PL) and scintillation properties.
