For the first time Lu2S3 (undoped and Pr-doped) single crystals were successfully grown from melt using micro-pulling-down (mPD) technique. Customization of halide mPD apparatus allowed us to grow rod-shaped crystals of Lu2S3 with high melting temperature. Optical and scintillation properties of both the undoped and Pr3+ doped Lu2S3 were investigated. Fast 5d→4f Pr3+ luminescence was observed in both photoluminescence and radioluminescence spectra. The presented technology is an effective tool for the exploration of a large family of high-melting sulfides. Such materials show promise for application as scintillators, active laser media, and optoelectronic components.
