Luminescence of disordered crystals with langasite structure doped with chromium ions

详细

The luminescence, absorption and circular dichroism spectra of langasite family crystals La₃Ga₅-SiO₁₄ and Sr₃Ga₂Ge₄O₁₄ doped with chromium ions (0.1 at %) are studied in the region of 300–1200 nm. It is demonstrated that these spectra contain bands typical of both a Cr³⁺ ion in an octahedral environment (position 1a) and a Cr⁴⁺ ion in a tetrahedral site (position 2d). The intensities of these bands differ considerably.
