Current Programs at the Single Crystal Growth Lab

Production of Ce-activated rare earth oxyorthosilicate scintillator single crystals for the second axis detector of DARHT and scintillator development for DARHT, Pegasus and AHF
Current activities include development of new, fast, bright and dense scintillator materials, and production process development for oxyorthosilicate scintillator crystals. These materials are used in radiographic cameras for hydrotest imaging applications. Typically, these materials have high melting points and require controlled Ce-doping.
Contact: Ken McClellan.

Structural materials and high quantum efficiency IR detection devices
Current activities include silicides/intermetallics such as MoSi2 alloyed with Re, Al, Nb, etc, for high temperature structural applications and semiconducting silicides such as ReSi2-x alloyed with Mo for infrared detector applications.
