Explore the impact of microstructure on scintillation performance in LuAG materials. Assist in mentoring undergrad and grad students in this field to foster collaboration and advance research. Investigate how microstructural variations affect the conversion of high-energy photons into UV/visible photons, impacting fields like healthcare, security, energy, and fundamental science.

Luiz G. JacobsohnAssistant Professor, MSE, Clemson University • Primary Research Interest: Microstructural effects on scintillation performance • Primary Broader Impact Activity: Mentoring of undergrad (2) and grad (4) students + Creation of a “pump-line” between undergrad (Coe College) and grad school (Clemson) • Interests in New Collaborations: Single crystals • Scintillators transform a high energy photon into thousands of UV/visible photons • Health, security, energy, and fundamental science • Goal: To establish relations between fabrication conditions, microstructure, and trap characteristics with scintillation performance • Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG):Pr or Ce ceramics, powders, crystals
