In this study, we investigate the effects of Ho codoping on the luminescence and scintillation properties of GGAG:Ce, with a particular focus on timing properties and scintillator efficiency. The research reveals that Ho codoping and subsequent resonant energy transfer from Ce to Ho can significantly reduce the 5d excited state decay time of Ce and shorten scintillation pulses of GGAG:Ce registered by using photomultipliers, although this reduces scintillator efficiency as well. The study presents a detailed analysis of the loss of scintillator efficiency due to Ho codoping, identifying the most significant loss pathways and estimating their impact.

- Researchers studied how crosslinked polymer composites loaded with luminescent gold clusters and the dye rhodamine 6G could enhance scintillation, which is the light emitted when a material absorbs radiation.
- They used rate equations to analyze how the excited states of these materials change over time and derived a formula to measure the effectiveness of sensitization based on specific parameters.
- The findings suggest that creating complexes with sensitizers and emitters is key to improving the scintillation effect in these composite materials.
