X Abstract

Emission and excitation spectra and decay kinetics are studied for the luminescence of undoped and Ce 3+ -doped LuScAG and LuYAG crystals at 10–300 K and compared with the characteristics of undoped and Ce 3+ -doped YAG and LuAG. Besides the Ce 3+ -related intense green emission bands, the intrinsic UV bands are observed. At 80 K they are located at 4.9-4.4 eV. At RT the intrinsic emission bands are located at lower energies. The positions of the lowest-energy excitation band of the intrinsic emission in all the crystals studied are different and shifted to lower energies with respect to that in LuAG (7.2 eV at 80 K). This band is ascribed to the exciton perturbed by the corresponding defect (Lu 3+ , Y 3+ , Sc 3+ , Ce 3+ ). The origin of the Sc 3+ - and Y 3+ -related luminescence and the role of these ions in the processes of energy transfer from the crystal lattice to Ce 3+ ions are discussed.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
