Hi guys,
I have what I hope is a simple question. basically I have a known crystal structure with a known dopant, however I don't know what the charge on the dopant is and I can't find it in any papers. Now I'm not sure if this is something I just need to find or whether this is something I can determine from analysis (I did study chmistry to the highest secondary level but I can't actually remember much of the methodology). Anyway I would appreciate if someone could tell me the charges and explain how they were oobtained for the equation below (if possible):
Lu2SiO5:Ce where Ce is the dopant
Additionally, this material is a scintillator and I have measure the transmission for the 200-1000nm range. In the UV region there are a couple of transmission spikes that I would not expect for a scintillator. Could this be due to the Ce dopant?
Thanks in advance.
Jamie
