Abstract:In this work, for the first time, detailed structural and optical characterization of RbLaP4O12 doped with different concentrations of Ce3+, Nd3+, Tm3+, or Yb3+ ions is reported. The samples were obtained via a precipitation technique. Their structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and infrared and Raman spectroscopies. Following XRD data, the unit cell parameters of host lattices were calculated using Rietveld refinement. It was found that an increase in the dopant content lead… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
