Single crystals of Dy1-xGdxVO4 for magnetic applications

Magnetic structures and magnetocaloric effect in RVO4(R=Gd, Nd)

“…3; note that the difference is even larger than depicted since the GGG data shown in the figure are collected for B = 8 T). The reported data [28] for GdVO 4 , with B = 5 T, agree with the present determination except at higher temperatures, when those values nearly overlap with ours for 3 T. In any case, in this temperature range | S T | is small and has large relative errors. The values of T ad for GdVO 4 are similar to those of GdPO 4 for T > 5 K. We finally mention that recent data of S T deduced from isothermal magnetization [12] via the Maxwell relation agree with the present ones, − S T ,max = 41.1 J kg −1 K −1 at T 3 K for B = 5 T, higher than that reported in Ref.…”

Float zone growth of Dy:GdVO4 single crystals for potential use in solid-state yellow lasers

“…Kaminskii et al [6] [13,14], but none of them paid attention to the fluorescence properties in the visible region. In previous studies [15][16][17][18][19][20], we have demonstrated that the floating zone method is effective to grow high-quality vanadate single crystals since no crucible is necessary and a pure oxygen flow can accordingly be used as a growth atmosphere. In fact, the float zone grown Nd:GdVO 4 and Tm:GdVO 4 single crystals exhibited high slope efficiencies [21,22].…”
