Crystal structures and thermal expansion properties of Y2-xErxMo4O15 (x = 0.0–2.0) solid solutions

Crystal growth and negative thermal expansion properties of a Y2Mo4O15 single crystal

“…Abnormal thermal expansion behaviors along the crystallographic b-axis have been reported for these materials. [22][23][24] However, the current research on this material mostly stays in ceramic solid solution. It is well known that the yttrium and lanthanum ions can be easily accessible for various rare-earth ion substitutions, and these molybdates would be potential laser and Raman materials.…”

Design, growth, and characterization of Y2Mo4O15 crystals for Raman laser applications

“…Y 2 Mo 4 O 15 belongs to the monoclinic system in the space group P2 1 /c with a ¼ 6.8185 2 have been synthesized, and special attention is paid to the investigation of these systems, which are used as luminescent host materials for white LEDs. [15][16][17][18][19] It is well known that the Y sites are easily accessible for various rare-earth ion substitutions. Therefore, it allows the production of active solid state self-Raman lasers with effective doping of numerous rare-earth ions.…”
