A new color center laser on the basis of lead-doped KMgF3

Mild solvothermal synthesis and luminescent properties of the complex fluorides KMgF3:Eu and KZnF3:RE (RE=Eu, Ce)

“…Mild hydrothermal and solvothermal synthesis of complex fluorides at 120-240 • C were accepted to be an effective method for synthesizing complex fluorides [9,10]. The complex fluorides ABF 3 (A = Li, Na, K; B = divalent metal elements) have become important as they show lasing action when they are doped with a proper dopant [11][12][13]. The contents of oxygen in ABF 3 synthesized by hydrothermal and solvothermal method is lower than that of the corresponding ABF 3 synthesized by high temperature solidstate reaction [14,15].…”

Study of Structural and Electronic Properties of Fluoride Perovskite KCaF3 using FP-LAPW Method

“…Perovskites are well known for their applications in different fields of science and technology because of their wide range of electro-optic, mechanical, semiconducting and insulating behavior. KCaF 3 is used as a vacuum-ultraviolet-transparent material for lenses in optical lithography steppers in electro-optical applications [3][4][5]. This shows photo-luminescence properties when it is doped with lanthanide ions [6].…”

Theoretical study of electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum for ion in system

“…To be more precise, the cubic KMgF 3 , if properly doped transition-metal ions (Fe, Mn, Cr, V, etc. ), can be exploited as a host medium for lasing centers, thermoluminescent dosimeter, and scintillators [7][8][9][10]. Therefore, knowledge of the location of the impurity in KMgF 3 is a prerequisite to the study of the influence of impurity on the crystal's properties.…”
