Luminescence and stimulated emission of Nd3+ ions in LaMgAl11O19 crystals in the4F3/2→4I11/2 and4F3/2→4I13/2 transitions

Combustion Synthesis of Some Cr3+-Activated Aluminate Phosphors

“…After the first report on lasing in Nd 3+ -activated LMA [41], many efforts were devoted to the Cr 3+ doped LMA because it was thought to be a good substitute for alexandrite [43]. Apart from applications like solid state lasers and various phosphor related applications, LMA has been proposed for number of other applications in industry, military and scientific research, which include dielectric resonators [44], combustion catalyst support, and thermal barrier coatings [45].…”

Growth and thermal properties of Co2+:LaMgAl11O19 crystal

“…La 3+ can be substituted with a lanthanide ion Ln 3+ (where Ln ¼ Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd), Mg 2+ can be substituted with M 2+ (where M ¼ Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) [12]. These materials can be used as laser medium [12][13][14][15], luminescence materials [16][17], saturable absorber Q-switches [3,5]. The first growth of LaMgAl 11 O 19 crystal was reported by Saber and Lejus [13] by using verneuil method (flame fusion method) and floating zone method.…”

Enhanced blue emission and EPR study of LaMgAl11O19:Eu phosphors

“…Although, structural, optical and magnetic studies on LaMgAl 11 O 19 were reported long ago by some researchers in Refs. [14,[22][23][24][25], there are very few reports on the Eu doped of this system. In view of these, LMA doped with europium was prepared in our study via a facile combustion process.…”
