YVO4 single-crystal fiber growth by the LHPG method

Characterization of the growth mechanism of YIG crystal fibers using the laser heated pedestal growth method

“…It has been successfully used to grow many types of single-crystal fibers, such as Bi 12 SiO 20 , LiNbO 3 , YVO 4 , BaTiO 3 , and Ba 1Àx Ca x TiO 3 [20][21][22][23][24]. An 80 W CO 2 laser with a wavelength of 9.6 mm was the heat source.…”

Hydrothermal synthesis of size-controllable Yttrium Orthovanadate (YVO4) nanoparticles and its application in photocatalytic degradation of direct blue dye

“…In view of its wide applications as polarizers, laser host materials, phosphors and optoelectronic field [18][19][20], various methods have been developed to synthesize YVO 4 nanopowders, including solution combustion process [21], hydrolyzed colloid reaction technique [22], microemulsion-mediated method [23], hydrothermal processing [24], solid-state reactions, sol-gel and wet chemical method [24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, most of the above methods need longer reaction time and more complicated processing.…”

Vibrational dynamics of single-crystal YVO4studied by polarized micro-Raman spectroscopy andab initiocalculations

“…[7][8][9] Due to its large birefringence and very wide transparency from the visible to the infrared spectral region, YVO 4 in crystal form is an excellent synthetic substitute for calcite (CaCO 3 ) and can provide crystalline polarizers for the mid-IR (as Wollaston, Rochon, and Glan prisms), besides being widely used for fiberoptic and medical applications. [10][11][12][13][14] Moreover, with respect to other birefringent crystals, YVO 4 has larger hardness, better water insolubility, and it is easier to fabricate large crystals of excellent optical quality at lower cost. [15][16][17] The first Raman and infrared study of the vibrational spectrum of crystalline yttrium orthovanadate (YVO 4 ) was done by Miller et al, 18 who observed nine of the twelve predicted Raman-active modes and six of the seven predicted infrared-active modes.…”
