Crystal growth, first-principle calculations, optical properties and laser performances toward a molybdate Er3+:KBaGd(MoO4)3 crystal

Photochromic apatite skeletal structure materials: recent advances and potential applications

“…First-principles calculations have been widely used for inorganic materials to study luminescence and photochromism. 20,74,[148][149][150] The first principles can calculate the band gap change of materials, which is able to predict the change in material defect depth. As is well known, the PC effect is largely dependent on the defect depth.…”

“…26,28–31 Meanwhile, rare earth ion doped molybdate or tungstate crystals can also be regarded as laser host media, indicating that the doped crystals have great potential in self-excited Raman crystals as well. 32–42 Besides, recently, quaternary molybdate or tungstate tellurate, such as BaTeMo 2 O 9 , BaTeW 2 O 9 , Cs 2 TeMo 3 O 12 , have also received enormous attention as novel Raman crystals and efficient laser output have been achieved in these crystals. 43–52…”

[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Besides, recently, quaternary molybdate or tungstate tellurate, such as BaTeMo 2 O 9 , BaTeW 2 O 9 , Cs 2 TeMo 3 O 12 , have also received enormous attention as novel Raman crystals and efficient laser output have been achieved in these crystals. [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] Bi 2 Mo 2.66 W 0.34 O 12 (BMO) crystallizes in the monoclinic P2 1 /c structure and within the anionic group, the Mo 6+ and W 6+ cations occupy the center sites according to the W 6+ percentages ranging from 2.6-19.5% for different crystallographic sites, respectively.…”

Top-seeded solution growth, spectral analysis and laser properties of a novel Nd-doped Bi2Mo2.66W0.34O12 crystal

“…During the past decade, triple-molybdates with similar structures, such as KBaGd(MoO 4 ) 3 , have also been proved to be potential candidates for laser host crystals with different output wavelengths ranging from the visible to midinfrared region with different rare-earth ions doped. [22][23][24][25][26][27] Besides, crystals in this family were also observed to have large third-order nonlinear susceptibility for stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and have been demonstrated as efficient Raman shifters, examples can be seen in molybdates, like SrMoO 4 , 28 CaMoO 4 , 28 and PbMoO 4 , 28,29 and tungstates, like BaWO 4 , [30][31][32][33] SrWO 4 , 34 and KGd(WO 4 ) 2 . [35][36][37][38][39][40][41] Combining both the outstanding performances as laser host and Raman laser materials, rare-earth doped scheelite crystals can be used for generating self-stimulated Raman lasers.…”
