Optical spectroscopy of Yb3+ in the Cs2NaYF6 single crystal

Emission spectra of lanthanide ions in hexafluoroelpasolite lattices excited by synchrotron radiation

“…In the present study, the emission spectra of the tripositive ions of Sm, Gd, Tb, Ho, and Er excited by synchrotron radiation at $10 K are presented and detailed interpretations are provided where possible. There have been some previous 4f N -4f N emission results reported for hexafluoroelpasolite systems comprising Nd 3+ [3], Eu 3+ [4], Tb 3+ [5,6], Er 3+ [7], Tm 3+ [8], and Yb 3+ [9], and experimental results and/or theoretical simulations of 4f N M 4f NÀ1 5d spectra were reported for Ce 3+ [10,11], Pr 3+ [12], Nd 3+ [3], Er 3+ [13], and Tm 3+ [13,14]. [4].…”

Stokes and anti‐Stokes luminescence from cubic elpasolite Cs2NaYF6 crystals doped with Er3+and Yb3+ ions

“…Near-IR ( $ 2.7 μm) emission of Er 3 þ ions in Cs 2 NaYF 6 has been also investigated and the lifetime of the 4 I 11/2 excited-state has been detected to be as long as $ 1 ms at room-temperature for highly-doped ( 410 at%) samples [5]. Absorption and emission as well as crystal field analysis for Yb 3 þ ions in Cs 2 NaYbF 6 has been reported [6][7][8]. In…”

Vacuum ultraviolet excitation spectra of lanthanide-doped hexafluoroelpasolites

“…The magnetic properties [87], vibrational spectra [88] and intraconfigurational 4f N -4f N spectra of Nd 3+ [89], Eu 3+ [90,91], Tb 3+ [92], Er 3+ [93], Tm 3+ [94] and Yb 3+ [95,96] [3,101]) although a spectral interpretation was not given [3,99]. The 4f N -4f N −1 5d spectra of Nd 3+ [89], Er 3+ [102] and Tm 3+ [102,103] in the Cs 2 NaYF 6 host have been previously reported and are subsequently referred to with respect to the spectra obtained herein.…”
