Prof. Martin Nikl from Institute of Physics ASCR Visited SICCAS

Invited by Prof. Yubai Pan and Xiqi Feng, Prof. Martin Nikl from Institute of Physics ASCR visited SICCAS on July 18-19, 2011.

During his visit, he gave two talks respectively on “Garnet optical ceramics: luminescence and scintillation characteristics, defects and material performance.” and “Investigation on the Luminescence mechanism of Ce and Pr-doped Lu- containing scintillation crystals”

Those two talks introduced recent research progress and hot spots on new generation of scintillator materials in worldwide. His talk received extensive interests and warm discussion from the researchers and graduate students in SICCAS.

After the talk, Prof. Yubai Pan , Xiqi Feng and Guohao Ren introduced the research progress on scintillator ceramics and crystals in SICCAS respectively, both sides exchanged ideas concerning further collaboration.

Martin Nikl is a world famous professor in scintillator materials field,he is accomplished in the research of luminescence mechanism, defects, and material physics,especially on Ce、Pr doped (Lu,Y)AG,(Lu,Y)SO scintillators.
