“…Solid solutions of rare-earth elements (REEs) orthovanadates find practical application as materials for luminophores, dosimeters of ionizing radiation [1], cathodoluminescent materials, scintillators, optical polarizers, photocatalysts for water oxidation [2], and in the last years as lightemitting diodes [3]. Several REEs (Nd, Eu, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb) serve as activators [4,5].…”
