<title>F-type centers in LiBaF<formula><inf><roman>3</roman></inf></formula> crystals</title>
A comparative study of optical properties of thermochemically reduced undoped LiBaF3 crystals is reported. In LiBaF3 crystals obtained or treated in a reducing atmosphere an absorption band at 240 nm and a corresponding luminescence band at 505 nm are observed at 85 K. The main constituent of the center may be an anion vacancy with a trapped electron (an F-type center in LiBaF3 crystals).© (2003) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

<title>Luminescence of intrinsic defects in LiBaF<formula><inf><roman>3</roman></inf></formula></title>
A wide emission band in the region of 425 nm is observed in all the examined crystals at photo and ionising irradiation. Maximum of the complex luminescence band is observed at 410 nm at 350 K and at 450 nm at 85 K. The shift of the peak of the band envelope towards shorter wavelengths as the temperature increases is related to thermal dependence of the intensity of elementary components of the luminescence band. The authors suggest that the complex luminescence band arises from electronic excitations at "antisite" defects, i.e., defects caused by stoichiometric deviations, when a portion of Li+ cations (cations of one type of the LiBaF3 crystal lattice) occupy sites of Ba2+ cations (cation…
Luminescence of intrinsic defects in YAG polycrystalline powder
In the present work we have investigated luminescence properties of the fine, well-crystallized undoped YAG polycrystalline powders and thermochemically treated YAG polycrystalline powders. Presented work give evidence of significant role of 'antisite' defects (AD), i.e., where some portion of one type of cations (Y 3+ ) occupy another cations (Al 3+ Oh ) sites and vice versa in YAG structure, on the creation and structure of luminescence centers in complex multi-component oxides.
