摘要

Doping-induced structural changes and spectroscopic parameters of Czochralski-grown RE3+-activated strontium molybdate SrMoO4 (SMO:RE; RE3+  = Pr, Nd, Eu, Yb) single crystals as well as specific local behavior of RE3+ ions depending on the type, concentration (0.2–3.0 wt. %) and the method of introducing the dopant (RENbO4 with RE = Pr, Nd, Eu, Yb or Yb2O3) are described in this paper. X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis of macro- (laboratory diffractometer) and microparts (synchrotron) of SMO:RE crystals showed a difference between the initial and actual compositions and refined compositions of macro- and microparts due to growth, physical–chemical and methodological reasons. A complex characterization of defect formation including all types of point defects (vacancies, interstitials, substitutional atoms, etc.) and charge compensation mechanisms in SMO:RE crystals depending on the RE composition and concentration is performed. Formal charges, coordination numbers and coordination polyhedra of RE, Mo, Nb in SMO:RE are found using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS/XANES) and electron paramagnetic resonance. The structural and structure-dependent spectroscopic and laser characteristics of polycrystalline and single-crystal SMO:RE, obtained by different methods, with different type (RE = La – Lu) and concentrations of RE3+ ions are summarized and analyzed based on our own and literary data.
