Cs 3 Lu(PO 4 ) 2 :Ce and Rb 3 Lu(PO 4 ) 2 :Ce single crystals have been studied under gamma‐, x‐ray and UV excitation. For all types of excitation the luminescence of these materials is dominated by a broad Ceemission band positioned at the UV/visible light boundary. Highly efficient and relatively fast scintillation of both materials identify them as promising scintillators.
