Luminescence in Ce-doped materials corresponds to a transition from an excited state
where the lowest Ce 5 d level is filled [often called the (Ce 3+)* state] to the ground state …

The origin of light scattering defects was studied in transparent 6 at% Yb: CaF 2 ceramics.
Samples were synthesized by a soft chemistry route followed by sintering and hot pressing …

The experimental temperature dependence (T= 2–300 K) of single crystal bulk and site
susceptibilities of rare earth titanate pyrochlores R 2 Ti 2 O 7 (R= Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er …

The radiative lifetime of excited states is governed by Fermi's Golden Rule. For many
applications, the radiative decay rate is an important parameter. For example, for scintillators …

Abstract Lutetium pyrosilicate (Lu 2 Si 2 O 7, LPS) single crystals were synthesized by the
floating-zone method with different dopant concentration to investigate the Nd-concentration …
