Ce3+,Pr3+-codoped SiO2–Al2O3–B2O3–Gd2O3 glasses (SABG: Ce,Pr) were prepared by melt quenching under a CO reducingatmosphere. Luminescence properties were investigated under UV and X-ray excitations. A dominant emission band at 430 nm belonging to the Ce3+:5d1-4f transition was observed in the photo- and radio-luminescence spectra. The energy transfer occurs fromthis Ce3+ band toward the 3PJ levels of Pr3+ with an efficiency of up to 24%, followed by the reduction of integrated luminescence intensity with an increasing Pr3+ concentration. This result is attributed to the increase in the reabsorption of Ce3+ luminescence and the non-radiative energy transfer toward the
3PJ levels of Pr3+. The cross-relaxation process within the Pr3+ pairs can further diminish the total luminescence yield at high Pr3+ concentrations. The integral scintillation efficiency and light yield measurements were carried out and compared to the reference Bi4Ge3O12 (BGO) crystal.
