“…With this technique, precursor powders are melted at high temperatures in a furnace under an argon atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Then, the crystallization is induced via dipping an oriented seed (typically an undoped crystal), and the growing crystal is withdrawn upwards at a controlled pulling and rotating speed [9][10][11].…”

Time and frequency metrology is a key enabler for both forefront science and innovation. At the moment, atomic frequency standards (AFSs) are based on atoms either in the vapor phase or trapped in magneto-optical lattices in a vacuum. Finding a solid-state material that contains atoms suitable to be used as a frequency reference would be an important step forward in the simplification of the setup of AFSs. Lanthanide-doped inorganic crystals, such as Er-doped LiYF4, have been studied for several decades, and their intrashell 4f transitions are usually identified as ultra-narrow. Nevertheless, a systematic characterization of these transitions and their linewidths with a correlation to the dopant’s concentration and isotopic purity at low temperatures is lacking. In this work, we studied Er-doped LiYF4 as a potential benchmark material for solid-state frequency references. We chose Er as it has a set of transitions in the telecom band. The influence of Er concentrations and isotope purity on the transition linewidth was systematically studied using high-resolution optical spectroscopy at 5 K. The results indicate that the material under study is an interesting potential candidate as a solid-state frequency reference, having transition linewidths as low as 250 MHz at ~1530 nm.

“…To detect ionizing radiation efficiently, the use of bulk materials is essential since the probability of an interaction between ionizing radiation and a detector material simply depends on the volume of the material. To satisfy this requirement, bulk single crystals, (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) ceramics, (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31) and glasses (32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38) have been applied for scintillators and dosimeters. Among these material forms, glasses have some advantages such as high chemical durability and high light transmittance, which are preferable for scintillator and dosimeter uses.…”

0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mol% Dy-doped 50NaPO 3 -50Al(PO 3 ) 3 glasses were synthesized by the melt-quenching method. All the samples had a high transmittance of up to 90% at visible wavelengths, and some intense emission lines were observed in their photoluminescence and scintillation spectra. When the glasses were irradiated with X-rays with various doses, a linear relationship between the irradiation dose and the thermally stimulated luminescence intensity was confirmed from 10 to 10000 mGy.
