摘要:
A method for producing a single crystal scintillator material according to the present invention includes the steps of: providing a solvent including: at least one element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs; W and/or Mo; B; and oxygen; melting a Ce compound and a Lu compound that have been mixed with the solvent by heating the mixture to a temperature of 800° C. to 1,350° C.; and growing a single crystal by cooling the compounds melted. The single crystal is represented by the compositional formula (CexLu1-x)BO3, in which the mole fraction x of Ce satisfies 0.0001≦x≦0.05.
