Absorption and luminescence spectra and thermal glow curves of γ‐irradiated YAIO3 monocrystals doped with transition iron group ions are investigated. The valence states of activator ions are determined and absorption and luminescence transitions are identified. The magnitudes of the Racah parameters, B and C, and the internal crystal field strength, Dq, are calculated by means of energy matrices, which lead to the best agreement between the experimental and theoretical values of the transfer energies. The influence of ionizing radiation and high‐temperature treatments of crystals on the optic characteristics of host‐lattice and activator ions is shown.
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.
