a) X-ray luminescence spectra of single crystals of composition 0.9 Zr0,-0.1 Y20, and 0.9 Zr0,-0.09 Y20,-0.01 Ln,O, (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) are obtained at room temperature. A wide structureless band of luminescence with a maximum a t about 500nm is found. Thermostimulated luminescence is investigated on the same samples. Irradiation of the crystals by X-rays is carried o u t at room temperature. The glow curves contain two or three peaks each depending on the doping component. The nature of the main peaks is discussed.
Absorption and luminescence spectra of CaF2Nd3+ (type 1) [1] crystals are investigated as a function of the concentration of added yttrium fluoride. The appearance of new lines, and a decrease in the line intensities, due to yttrium content is attributed to a shift in the equilibrium of Nd centres. Some possible models are discussed. The equilibrium of centres of rareearth ions (TR3+) in the presence of yttrium fluoride in CaF2Nd3+ crystals is calculated approximately.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
