Abstract: The rare earth oxyorthosilicates Ln2SiO5(Ln-Gd3+, Y3+, Lu3+) as inorganic scintillation crystals have attracted much attention recently. The progress on the research of their structures, the scintillation mechanisms of cerium ions and single crystal growth were reviewed, and their scintillation properties, applications and problems requiring further research were also summarized in detail.

Key words: Ln2SiO5, scintillation crystals, cerium doped
