Abstract

trans-Stilbene single crystals are of great interest for researchers as scintillators characterized by a high specific light yield. Bulk trans-stilbene single crystals have been grown from an anisole solution. The transmission and photoluminescence spectra have been recorded, and the single-crystal photoluminescence quenching kinetics has been investigated. The scintillation properties of an element (17 × 12 × 5 mm in size) prepared from a grown trans-stilbene crystal, irradiated by γ radiation and X rays, have also been investigated. It is shown that the specific light yield of the obtained crystal is no less than that of a scintillation detector based on a trans-stilbene crystal (31.5 × 10 mm) grown from melt.
