This work is dedicated to the development of new types of composite thermoluminescent (TL) detectors for simultaneous registration of the different components of ionization radiation based on the single crystalline films (SCFs) of Ce3+-doped Lu3−xGdxAl5O12:Ce (x = 0–1.5) garnet and Y3Al5O12:Ce (YAG:Ce) substrates using the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) growth method. For this purpose, the TL properties of the mentioned epitaxial structures were examined in Risø TL/OSL-DA-20 reader under excitation by α- and β-particles from 242Am and 90Sr-90Y sources. We have shown that the cation engineering of SCF content can result in more significant separation of the TL glow curves of SCFs and substrates under α- and β-particle excitations in comparison with the prototype of such composite detectors based on the Lu3Al5O12:Ce (LuAG:Ce)/YAG:Ce epitaxial structure. Specifically, the difference between the TL glow curves of Lu1.5Gd1.5Al5O12:Ce SCFs and YAG:Ce substrates increases up to 120 K in comparison with a respective value of 80 degrees in the prototype based on the LuAG:Ce/YAG:Ce epitaxial structure. Therefore, the LPE-grown epitaxial structures containing Lu1.5Gd1.5Al5O12:Ce SCFs and Ce3+-doped YAG:Ce substrate can be successfully applied for simultaneous registration of α- and β-particles in mixed fluxes of ionization radiation.

The nature of precursor phenomena in the paraelectric phase of ferroelectrics is one of the main questions to be resolved from a fundamental point of view. Barium titanate (BaTiO3) is one of the most representative perovskite-structured ferroelectrics intensively studied until now. The pretransitional behavior of BaTiO3 single crystal grown using a solid-state crystal growth (SSCG) method was investigated for the first time and compared to previous results. There is no melting process in the SSCG method, thus the crystal grown using a SSCG method have inherent higher levels of impurity and defect concentrations, which is a good candidate for investigating the effect of crystal quality on the precursor phenomena. The acoustic, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties, as well as birefringence, of the SSCG-grown BaTiO3 were examined over a wide temperature range. Especially, the acoustic phonon behavior was investigated in terms of Brillouin spectroscopy, which is a complementary technique to Raman spectroscopy. The obtained precursor anomalies of the SSCG-grown BaTiO3 in the cubic phase were similar to those of other single crystals, in particular, of high-quality single crystal grown by top-seeded solution growth method. These results clearly indicate that the observed precursor phenomena are common and intrinsic effect irrespective of the crystal quality.
