Electrical transport properties of EuVO4 single crystal

Equation of state and electronic properties of EuVO4: A high-pressure experimental and computational study

“…As already noted, experimental values for the band gap range from the 1.9 eV[20] to the most recent value of 3.4 eV[22]. In a study of the YVO 4 , LuVO 4 , and NdVO 4 orthovanadates[24] an underestimation of the theoretical band gap has been found with respect to reflectance and absorption measurements: 2.79 eV (theoretical) vs. 3.79 eV (reflectance) and 3.78 eV eV (theoretical) vs. 3.72 eV (for both reflectance and absorption measurements) in NdVO 4 .…”

“…The electronic structure of EuVO 4 has been studied by means of electrical measurements [20], diffuse reflectance spectra [21], and optical absorption [22] experiments. Theoretical calculations have been carried out both within the standard DFT and DFT+U frameworks, using the muffintin method within the local density approximation [23], and the linearized augmented plane-wave method within the local density approximation [17], respectively.…”

Growth, morphology and mechanism of rare earth vanadate crystals under mild hydrothermal conditions

“…Amongst them, the yttrium orthovanadate-based laserdiode pumped solid-state lasers are the frontier materials and carry a wide variety of applications in science and technology because of its high stability, compactness, high efficiency and long life time [1][2][3]. Nd:YVO 4 crystals have been employed as highly efficient laser-diode pumped microlasers [4], an efficient phosphors [5], very attractive polarizer materials [6] and low-threshold laser hosts [7], etc. In comparison with the conventional Nd: YAG crystal, Nd:YVO 4 offers many advantages such as larger absorption co-efficient and gain cross section [8][9][10].…”

Photodegradation of acetone over V-Gd-O composite catalysts under visible light

“…Actually, many vanadate salts have a large band gap and show white color. But when the introduced cation has a d 10 s 0 electron configuration or has the partially filled 4f orbitals, the electronic structure of the vanadate is usually changed and a decrease in the band gap would be realized (such as BiVO 4 (E g = 2.8 eV) [20], EuVO 4 (E g = 1.9 eV) [32] and CeVO 4 (E g = 1.8 eV) [33]). Due to the same reason, GdVO 4 could absorb the visible light like CeVO 4 .…”
