NaLa(MoO4)2as a laser host material

Growth and structural X-ray investigations of scheelite-like single crystals Er, Ce:NaLa(MoO4)2 and Yb:NaGd(WO4)2

“…It was confirmed by structural investigation of undoped (Na 0.5 La 0.5 )MoO 4 (r Na ¼ 1.18 Å , r La ¼ 1.16 Å , Dr (Na-La) ¼ +0.02 Å ) [11].…”

“…The preliminary treatment of diffraction data with introduction of analytical correction for the absorption at sphere was performed with help of software WinGX98. Crystalline structure of the compounds was refined with use of initial coordinates of atoms CaWO 4 [10] and NaLa(MoO 4 ) 2 [11] by the method of least squares in anisotropic approximation for all the atoms with the help of software SHELXL97 with taking into account the atomic scattering curves for neutral atoms, as well as for the abnormal scattering.…”

CW and Q-switched diode-pumped laser operation of Yb3+:NaLa(MoO4)2

“…The crystal was pulled along the [001] direction and a sample of about 25 mm in diameter and 40 mm in length was grown. NLM crystal has a tetragonal sheelite-like structure with space group I4 1 a (C 6 4h ) [9,10]. Na + and La 3+ ions are distributed randomly between eightfold coordinated 4a sites.…”

Growth and spectroscopic properties of Nd3+-doped Na2Gd4(MoO4)7 crystal

“…Recently, with the rapid development of the solid-state laser with diode laser pumping, research on more efficient new laser materials has gained much interest [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Double molybdate with general format MT(MoO 4 ) 2 (M = alkali metal; T = rare earth ion) were investigated as new laser host materials [12][13][14]. A molybdate with general format M 2 T 4 (MoO 4 ) 7 (M = alkali metal; T = rare earth ion) is another molybdate family [15,16].…”
