Abstract	Novel (LiCl)-Li-nat-CeCl3 eutectic scintillators for thermal neutron detection were synthesized by using the vertical Bridgman method. The eutectic molar ratio of LiCl and CeCl3 is 0.75/0.25. The effects of solidification speed on the microstructure, optical properties, and scintillation properties under gamma and neutron irradiation were studied. The grown (LiCl)-Li-nat-CeCl3 eutectics have a lamellar structure. Excited by X-rays, the scintillation emission of the (LiCl)-Li-nat-CeCl3 eutectics peaks at 365 nm, which is related to the Ce3+ 5d-4f emission, and a broad and weak emission appears at 526 nm. The scintillation decay time of the (LiCl)-Li-nat-CeCl3 eutectics under gamma irradiation is about 20 ns. The energy spectra under Pu/Be source irradiation indicate that the synthesized (LiCl)-Li-nat-CeCl3 is capable of detecting thermal neutrons.
