Chemical compounds Gd 2O 3,CaCO 3,B 2O 3 and H 3BO 3 were used as starti ng materials.By many experiments,with different ratio,it is proper to mix the st arting materials according to the reaction Gd 2O 3+8CaCO 3+6H 3BO 3=2 Ca 4 G dO(BO 3) 3+8CO 2+9H 2O.PbO was used as the main flux ,adding moderate PbF 2 , and B 2O 3.B 2O 3 also can be used as initial compounds and it is also a goo d solvent,but at high temperature,it has heavy viscousness.The crystals grown fr om B 2O 3 commonly has inclusion,so we used H 3BO 3 instead of B 2O 3.At t he same time,we considered that at high temperature H 3BO 3 will be decomposed and evaporated,which would make the initial composition change.When proper B 2 O 3 was added,it not noly can be used as solvent,but also can stabilize solvent component.The melt was contained in a platinum crucible.After holding the melt 1200℃ for 24h,it was cooled at a rate of 0.5℃ per hour.Single crystals GdCOB were obtained.With microscope,we observed the crystals have defects such as inc lusion and bubbles,which are related to rapid cooling,imperfect melt transport a nd unstable temperature.展开更多

The exitation and emmission spectra of the system were recorded and discussed. The results showed that there occurs an energy transfer from Gd 3+ to Eu 3+ . The luminescence intensity of Eu 3+ was found increased with increasing of Gd 3+ concentration. However, Sm 3+ had a quenching influence on the luminescence of Eu 3+ .展开更多

YCOB crystals have been grown from the feed materials composed of Y 2O 3(4N),CaCO 3/CaO (A.R.) and H 3BO 3/B 2O 3(4N)by vertical Bridgman method.Since Ca 4YO(BO 3) 3 melts congruently,the feed material should be prepared in the stoichiometric composition.The evaporation of B 2O 3 at high temperature and the hygroscopicity of CaO,B 2O 3 and Y 2O 3 were carefully considered.It was showed by experiments that the feed material prepared by directly and thoroughly mixing together stoichiometric amount of Y 2O 3,CaO and B 2O 3 is suitable for the Bridgman growth of YCOB crystal.The melting point of YCOB crystal is 1510℃,and Pt crucible less than 1.0mm thick was chosen.The temperature of the furnace was controlled from 1560℃ to 1650℃.Owing to the extremely high melting points of both Y 2O 3 and CaO,the feed material had been heated at the above temperature for more than 10 hours before growth so that it melts thoroughly.The growth rate of 0.2-0.6mm/h and the temperature gradient near the solid-liquid interface of 40-60°C/cm were chosen.The Crack free and transparent YCOB crystals with 25mm in diameter and 50mm long have been grown in near sealed Pt crucibles under the above growth condition,which suggests that the vertical Bridgman method is suitable for the growth of YCOB crystal.展开更多
