This study focused on the influence of Mg codoping and non-stoichiometry on the scintillation and luminescence characteristics of Ce-doped lutetium aluminum garnet crystals (LuAG) and Ga-admixed analogues (LuGAG). For the Ce-doped LuAG samples, codoping of Mg at a concentration around 300 ppm led to improvement of overall scintillation efficiency, which is in accordance with previous studies and can be attributed to an alternative scintillation mechanism involving Ce4+ stabilized by Mg2+. Very significant improvement of the overall scintillation efficiency (almost a factor of 2) and exceptionally high light yield when compared to the stoichiometric sample was observed for the Ce0.2% Mg 300 ppm sample grown from the melt with Al-rich non-stoichiometry. This was explained by an enhanced energy transfer towards the Ce3+ luminescence center via a defect related to an oxygen vacancy and stabilized/distorted by the non-stoichiometry.
