Ce-doped (Lu,Y)3(Ga,Al)5O12 single crystals were grown by the -PD method with RF heating system. In these crystals, 4f-5d emission is observed within 500-530 nm wavelength. Emission peak shifts to shorter wavelength and the decay accelerates with increasing Ga concentration. In the case of Ce:Lu2Y1(Ga,Al)5O12 series,the Ce0.2% Lu2Y1Ga3Al2O12 crystal showed the highest emission intensity. In order to determine light yield, the energy spectra were measured under 662 keV alpha-ray excitation and detection by an APD S8664-55(Hamamatsu). The light yield of Ce0.2%: Lu2Y1Ga3Al2O12sample was of about 30,000 photon/MeV. Dominant scintillation decay time was of about 50 ns.
