Calculating Hamiltonian parameters for Yb^3＋ in a low-symmetry lattice site, and fitting the structure and levels of Yb^3＋ ：RETaO4 （RE = Gd, Y, and Sc）

An iterative method is used to find the values of the Hamiltonian parameters for Yb^3＋ in a given low-symmetry crys- talline site. Samples of Yb^3＋ ：RETaO4 （RE = Gd, Y, and Sc） were prepared and their structures were determined. Based on the obtained structural data, their orbital-spin parameters and crystal field parameters were fitted by the superposition model （SM）. Using the crystal field parameters obtained by the SM fitting as the initial parameters, the Hamiltonian parameters were fitted iteratively. The calculated and experimental energy levels for Yb^3＋：RETaO4 are consistent, and the maximal mean-root-square deviation is only 2.84 cm^- 1, indicating that the method is effective to determine the Hamiltonian parameters of Yb^3＋ in low-symmetry crystalline sites.

Nd∶Y_3Al_5O_(12)单晶及纳米粉体的Raman光谱分析

测量了YAG（Y3Al5O12）/Nd∶YAG单晶、Nd∶YAG前驱物及其在不同温度下煅烧获得粉体的拉曼光谱,对谱峰的振动模式进行了指认,对结果进行了分析。Nd∶YAG前驱物在煅烧时,有一个由非晶态向晶态的转化过程;700℃下烧结前驱物获得非晶态产物的结构中含有AlO4四面体结构;随着煅烧温度的升高,拉曼光谱的变化主要表现在两个方面：一是谱峰半高宽（FWHM）减小,谱峰强度增大;二是一些拉曼光谱谱峰发生了频移,这是纳米多晶粉体的界面组元的有序度提高所致。另外,800℃下煅烧获得的Nd∶YAG纳米粉体的晶格振动模式与Nd∶YAG晶体的晶格振动模式存在差异,这是纳米多晶粉体的界面组元的贡献所致。

Structural analysis and crystal-field calculations of Nd³⁺ in Gd_x Lu_1-x TaO₄（x = 0.85） polycrytalline

The crystal structural parameters of Nd 3+-doped rare earth orthotantalate Gd x Lu 1 x TaO 4(x = 0.85) are determined by applying the Rietveld refinement to its X-ray diffraction,and its emission and excitation spectra at 77 K are analysed.The relativistic model of ab initio self-consistent DV-Xα method,which is applied to the cluster NdO 8 in Gd x Lu 1 x TaO 4,and the effective Hamiltonian model are used to investigate its spin-orbit and crystal-field parameters.The free-ions and crystal-field parameters are fitted to the experimental energy levels at 77 K with a root-mean-square deviation of 14.92 cm 1.According to the crystal-field calculations,96 levels of Nd 3+ are assigned.Finally,the fitting results of free-ions and crystal-field parameters are compared with those already reported for Nd 3+:YAlO 3.The results indicate that the free-ion parameters are similar to those of the Nd3+ in Gdx Lu1-x TaO4 and YAlO 3 hosts,and the crystal-field interaction of Nd3+ in Gdx Lu1-x TaO4 is stronger than that in YAlO 3.

Raman Spectrum Analysis on the Solid-Liquid Boundary Layer of BGO Crystal Growth

We study the Raman spectra of Bi4GeO12 crystal at different temperatures, as well as its melt. The structure characters of the single crystal, melt and growth solid-liquid boundary layer of BGO are investigated by their high-temperature Raman spectra for the first time. The rule of structure change of BGO crystal with increasing temperature is analysed. The results show that there exists [GeO4] polyhedral structure and Bi ion independently in BGO melt. The bridge bonds Bi-O-Bi and Bi-O-Ge appear in the crystal and at the boundary layer, but disappear in the melt. The structure of the growth solid-liquid boundary layer is similar to that of BGO crystal. In the melt, the long-range order structure of the crystal disappears. The thickness of the growth solid-liquid boundary layer of BGO crystal is about 50 μm.

采用提拉法生长出了高浓度掺铒(35 at%)钇钪镓石榴石(Er:YSGG)激光晶体.测试了该晶体在340—1700 nm波段内的吸收光谱,对其中Er3+的实验能级进行了分析指认.用Er:YSGG的102个实验Stark能级,拟合了它的自由离子参数和晶体场参数,均方根误差(拟合精度)σ为10.34 cm-1.结果表明,参数化Stark能级的拟合结果与实验光谱符合得较好.将拟合得到的Er:YSGG实验结果与文献中已报道Er:YAG的自由离子参数和晶体场参数进行了比较.指出Er:YSGG具有较强的晶体场相互作用或许是其激光效率较高的主要原因之一.     

Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic study of bismuth borate Bi2ZnOB2O6

A temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic study on Bi2Zn OB2O6crystal was carried out to investigate the structure change of the crystal with the increase of temperature.Raman spectra of crystal Bi2Zn OB2O6were recorded in the spectral range 10–1600 cm-1at room temperature first.Compared with the vibrational spectra of the referred compounds,satisfactory assignment of most of the high-energy modes to vibrations of Bi–O,B–O,and Zn–O bonds was achieved.In particular,the Raman high-frequency peak located at 1344 cm-1was attributed to the B–O vibration in the BO3triangle.This temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopic study was carried out up to 600°C.It was found that all the Raman lines exhibit decreases in frequency and the widths of the Raman peaks increase with increasing temperature.No phase transition was observed under 600°C.
