“…After several initial studies, however, the observation of this crystal family was not continued. Generally, the RbLn(MoO 4 ) 2 crystal family shows evident potentials for a wide range of solid solution formation and is promising for the creation of new optical materials with tunable properties [12,13]. As a representative member, RbNd(MoO 4 ) 2 molybdate can be considemission spectroscopy (XES) to measure for the β-RbNd(MoO 4 ) 2 sample the XE O Kα and Mo Lβ 2,15 bands representing mainly energy distributions of the O 2p-and Mo 4d-like states, respectively, and to compare them, on a common energy scale, to the XPS valence-band spectrum of the molybdate under consideration.…”
