Growth and thermophysical properties of magneto-optical crystal TbVO 4

Vanadate Crystals with an Enhanced Birefringence and a Broadened Transparency Spectrum through Controlled [VO3]∞ Chain Arrangements and Alkali Metal Cation Introduction

“…With exhaustive research (Figure ), LNCV has the shortest cutoff edge among vanadates with a large birefringence (>0.1@546 nm). − It is also recognized that the [VO 3 ] ∞ chains in LNCV are the primary origin of the large birefringence based on previous investigations . However, the birefringence of LBV with the [VO 3 ] ∞ chains is only 0.080.…”

Fabrication and properties of a Tm3+ doped TbVO4 magneto-optical crystal

“…It can be seen that absorption coefficients at 532, 633 and 1064 nm of TTV are 0.19, 0.19 and 0.01 cm −1 , respectively. Obviously, the value at 1064 nm exhibits a sharp decrease in comparison with those of TV (0.32 cm −1 ) 16 and TGG (0.50 cm −1 ). 18…”

“…14 Terbium vanadate (TbVO 4 , TV) has recently received great attention as a magneto-optical crystal for FIs owing to its many advantages, such as good transmittance in the VIS-NIR region and higher Verdet constants compared with the commercially used TGG crystal. 15,16 Tm 3+ has a similar ionic radius to Tb 3+ and a large effective magnetic moment in the RE ions. Tm 3+ doped TV crystals have not been reported to date; thus, we expect to fabricate a Tm 3+ doped TV crystal with a stronger magneto-optical effect due to various interactions between Tb 3+ and Tm 3+ .…”

Verdet Constant of Magneto-Active Materials Developed for High-Power Faraday Devices

“…There are many more reports on promising magneto-active materials for the VIS-NIR region, which offer properties superior to the TGG crystal, most of them targeting on the enhancement of the Verdet constant. From the vast number of these materials, we may mention, e.g., NaTb(WO 4 ) 2 [136], TSLAG [81,137], Na 2 Tb 4 (MoO 4 ) 7 [138], LiCaTb 5 (BO 3 ) 6 [139], RE:TGG (RE= Ce [140], Pr [141], Ho [142], Tm [143] or Dy [144]), TbVO 4 [145], Nd:TbVO 4 [146], Na 2 Ce(MoO 4 ) 2 [147], TCZ [148,149], Tb 2 Hf 2 O 7 [150] or CeAlO 3 [151].
