Anisotropic Optical Properties of Heavy-Rare-Earth Single Crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The optical absorptivities of oriented single crystals of hcp Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu were measured at 4.2 K between 0.2 and 4.4 eV. Polarized radiation was used to reveal the optical anisotropy. Systematic movement of structures in the absorptivity and optical conductivity was observed as a result of trends within sp and d bands. Low-energy structures were related to effects of s−f exchange interaction, but were more complicated than previously thought.

متن کاملEffect of impurities on the optical properties of KTP single crystals grown from flux
In the present work, KTP crystals have been grown by spontaneous nucleation technique in flux medium using K6P4O13 flux. 0.4-1 °C/h cooling rates were applied in the spontaneous nucleation process. The presence and amount of impurities has been determined by using XRF. The optical transmission spectra of impure KTP crystals in the UV–visible region are discussed. The transmission cut-off is cle...
