· JVASP-46186· LuWO4

Lutetium tungstate (LuWO₄) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining rare-earth lutetium with tungsten oxide, belonging to the scheelite-family of tungstates. This material is primarily investigated in research settings for scintillation and phosphor applications, leveraging its high atomic number and luminescent properties to convert high-energy radiation into visible light. Its optical and radiation-detection characteristics make it of particular interest for medical imaging (PET/CT systems), nuclear physics instrumentation, and potential space-based radiation monitoring, where alternatives like BGO or YAG scintillators may have different performance-cost tradeoffs.
