Motivated by potential application for neutron detection, novel Ce3+-activated Li2O-B2O3-Gd2O3 scintillating glasses containing neutron-capture elements were synthesized by the melt quenching method.The energy transfer from the host glass to Gd3+ and Ce3+ ions, as well as from Gd3+ to Ce3+ ions are validated by the VUV-UV spectra.The nature of energy transfer among Ce3+ ions is determined according to Huang's rule.Under both the ultraviolet and X-ray excitation, the strongest emission intensity of Ce3+ ions with 29 ns is obtained in the scintillating glass containing a fraction of 0.25 mol% CeF3, and the corresponding critical distance is estimated to be about 25.63 (A).
