Czochralski growth of rare-earth orthosilicates (Ln2SiO5)

Crystal growth and optical properties of Gd1.99−xYxCe0.01SiO5 single crystals

“…Because of the difference between the ionic radii of the dopant Ce 3+ and the substituted host crystal cation (the ratio becoming larger when Y 3+ ions replace Gd 3+ ions in Ce:GYSO [8]), it may be speculated that the distribution coefficient of Ce in GYSO must be lower than in the GSO crystal. Our experimental results listed in Table 3 show that the distribution coefficient of Ce decreases slightly indeed with the increasing amount of Y content in GSO.…”

Czochralski growth and physical properties of cerium-doped lutetium pyrosilicate scintillators Ce3+:Lu2Si2O7

“…The furnace used for all growth experiments is similar in construction to those used to grow other rare-earth silicate materials by the Czochralski technique [9]. The 60-mm-diameter iridium crucible was inductively heated and the crystal diameter control was based on the time derivative of the crystal weight, which is the controlling parameter used for all crystal growth tests [10].…”

Thermodynamic Evaluation of the Si-C-Al-Y-O System for LPS-SiC Application

“…9 along with experimental data. [60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69] Thermodynamic parameters for the YAM and liquid phases in the Y 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 ternary system were re-optimized using experimental data [70,71] and phase diagrams were recalculated. Liquidus surface calculated with the new description is presented in Fig.…”
