Orientational optical unsteady effects in rare-earth garnet crystals containing chromium or vanadium ions with the electronic 3d 2 configuration

The method of picosecond unsteady spectroscopy was used to study the optical anisotropy manifested in rare-erath garnet crystals doped by chromium and vanadium. In YAG:V³⁺, GSAG:V³⁺ and YAG;Cr⁴⁺ crystals the anisotropy of unsteady absorption and the effect of rotation of the plane of polarization of a probing pulse pulve were revealed. Deceased.

Cd3Al2Ge3O12锗酸盐石榴石中Cr3+的宽发射带和R线

本文首次报道了掺杂不同浓度Cr3+的Cd3Al2Ge3O12锗酸盐石榴石在295K和77K温度下的荧光光谱、Cr3+的鲜红色宽带发射强度与激励功率的关系及荧光衰减.发现在Cr3+的荧光光谱中存在从15400cm-1延伸到11400cm-1附近的宽带、两组R线及R线的Stokes和反Stokes振动光谱.295K时以宽带发射为主,77K时宽带明显减弱,R线发射显着增强.在Cd3Al2Ge3O12石榴石中,Cr3+离子的光谱是由两个性质上稍有差异的Cr3+中心发射组成的.     

Recharging processes of Cr ions in Mg2SiO4 and Y3Al5O12 crystals under influence of annealing and γ ‐ irradiation

Recharging processes of chromium ions were investigated for Mg₂SiO₄:Mg, Cr single crystals using annealing in O₂ and in air and γ‐irradiation, as compare to YAG :Ca, Cr single crystals. The formation of tetravalent Cr ions in the Mg₂SiO₄ :Mg, Cr is related not only to the initial Cr content in the melt, oxygen partial pressure and O₂‐ vacancy existing in the crystal, but also to the external field such as γ‐irradiation. The additional absorption after γ‐irradiation shows the decrease in intensity of the absorption of Cr³⁺ and Cr⁴⁺ ions in some part of the spectrum and increase in the other giving evidence on recharging effects between Cr³⁺ and Cr⁴⁺. There arises also color centers observed between 380 nm and 570 nm that may participate in energy transfer of any excitation to Cr⁴⁺ giving rise to Cr⁴⁺ emission. Opposite to forsterite crystal, absorption spectrum of YAG:Ca, Cr crystal after γ‐irradiation reveals only increase in the absorption of the Cr bands. The observed behavior of the absorption spectrum of YAG:Ca, Cr crystal under influence of γ‐irradiation suggests that γ‐irradiation ionizes only Cr ions. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Growth and magnetic behavior of bismuth substituted yttrium iron garnet nanoparticles

Crystal growth and the magnetic properties of bismuth substituted yttrium iron garnet (Bi-YIG) nanoparticles were studied with particular focus on the bismuth composition dependence of the magnetic properties of the particles and the effects of annealing on the garnet phase formation. The Bi-YIG nanoparticles of 47–67 nm in size can be chemically synthesized when they are annealed at 650–850 °C. Both the lattice constant and the magnetization of the garnet nanoparticles linearly increase when the bismuth composition in the Bi-YIG particles increases. We have found that chemically synthesized nanoparticles transform from the amorphous to the garnet phase when annealed at temperatures below 650 °C, while the onset of magnetic moment of iron in the garnet nanoparticles is observed slightly above 650 °C. According to Mössbauer effect measurements, the hyperfine fields of ⁵⁷Fe at the tetrahedral and octahedral sites in the garnet are 39 and 48 T, respectively.     

Growth and luminescent properties of Yb—doped oxide single crystals for scintillator application

Rod-shaped (Lu_1−xYb_x)₃Al₅O₁₂ with x=0.05, 0.15, 0.30 and (Y_1−xYb_x)AlO₃ with x=0.05, 0.10, 0.30 single crystals were grown by the micro-pulling-down method. Edge-defined film-fed growth method was used to prepare (Y_0.9Yb_0.1)VO₄ crystal, while Ca₈(La_1.98Yb_0.02)(PO₄)₆O₂ crystal was grown by the Czochralski method. Luminescence of these crystals was studied with main attention paid to the charge transfer emission of Yb³⁺. Temperature tuned decay times in the time scale of units—tens of nanosecond was measured as a feature possibly interesting for an application in scintillation detectors in positron emission tomography.

Thermal decay of stable colour centres in Gd3Ga5O12 crystals

This work is devoted to an analysis of thermal decay processes of the stable colour centres (CC) created in gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂, crystals under irradiation by gamma-quanta (E=1.25 MeV, D=10⁶ Gy). An analysis of the model of CC accumulation under irradiation as well as an isochronous heating model is presented. The decay activation energy (Δ E) for O^? and F centres in GGG crystals is calculated in accordance with this model.
