Growth and optical properties of YbxGd1−xAl3(BO3)4 single crystals with different Yb3+ concentration

Spectroscopic properties and energy levels of Yb3+ ion in huntite structure

“…This is rather natural, since ion radii of Tm 3+ and Yb 3+ are close to each other. At the same time, absorption spectra of Yb 3+ ion in our crystals noticeably differ from those in crystals Yb 3+ :YAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 [21] and Yb x Gd 1−x Al 3 (BO 3 ) 4 [26]. In our crystals, very high natural dichroism takes place (Figs.…”

Magneto-optical spectroscopy of Yb3+ ions in huntite structure

“…At the same time, absorption spectrum of Yb 3+ ion in the studied crystals ( Fig. 2) noticeably differs from that in diluted crystals Yb 3+ :YAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 [22] and Yb x Gd 1Àx Al 3 (BO 3 ) 4 [23]. In particular, in our crystals very high natural linear dichroism takes place (Fig.…”

Luminescent properties of GdAl3(BO3)4:Ln3+ (Ln3+:Eu3+, Tb3+, Dy3+) nano-phosphors

“…GdAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 (GAB) is a famous host for rare-earth ions doped nano-phosphors, which exhibits interesting optical properties because of its high non-liner optical coefficient, strongly absorbing in the part of vacuum-UV, transparency in the near UV, high radiation damage threshold, environment durability and chemical stability [9][10][11][12][13][14]. In this paper, the rare-earth ions (Eu 3?…”
