Influence of Nd dopants on lattice parameters and thermal and elastic properties in YVO4 single crystals

Optical properties of porous YVO4:Ln (Ln=Dy3+ and Tm3+) nanoplates obtained by the chemical co-precipitation method

“…Yttrium orthovanadate (YVO 4 ) is one of the most promising inorganic luminescent materials having a zirconia-type tetragonal structure and has a wide practical application in many devices involving the artificial production of light and display fields at present [1,2,[22][23][24][25][26][27]. A rapid development in the manufacturing of modern field emission displays has created a new demand for a few well-known phosphors with improved properties such as high brightness, high density, high stability, long lifetime, etc.…”

Investigation of thermal diffusivity dependence on temperature in a group of optical single crystals doped with rare earth ions

“…All crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. Details on the growth of individual crystals were described elsewhere [13,16,17]. The produced single crystals were of good optical quality with no visible defects.…”
