The results of an analysis of the optical properties of Er/sup 3+/ and (Er/sup 3+/, Yb/sup 3+/)
doped Y/sub 2/SiO/sub 5/ single crystals that have been grown by the Czokralski method are …

A detailed accuracy analysis of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) elastic strain
measurement has been carried out using both simulated and experimental patterns. Strains are …

Nd-doped CaWO 4 (CWO) and NaGd(WO 4 ) 2 (NGWO) single crystals with good optical
quality have been grown by the Czochralski technique. The neodymium distribution coefficient …

Tm 3+ doped single crystals of CaYAlO 4 have been grown and studied. A complete
spectroscopic analysis has been performed to examine the laser potentials of the main Tm 3+ …

… At first, YAG films with only Yb substitution were grown at temperatures lower than 1000C …
codoped films were grown at temperatures around 1000C. The distribution coefficients of Ga …

… In this process, the appropriate mixture of the different constitutive oxides is pressed in the
form of large rods weighing approximately 300 g and heated at 1400 "C for 48 h. These rods …

We present a comparative study of the nucleation and growth of Si quantum dots on Si 3 N 4
, SiO 2 and SiO x N y substrates using SiH 4 low-pressure chemical vapor deposition at low …

… Results show surface organic contamination in the unsputtered surface, in the form of C–C
bonds and C–O bonds. After this surface organic contamination is removed, TiCN bonding …

For the first time is reported room temperature cw laser action of a Yb 3+, Er 3+-doped
orthosilicate Y 2 SiO 5 single crystal at about 1.57 μm. Comparison is made with the Yb 3+ …

The optical properties of powders and crystals of Tm 3+ doped silicates of formula Y 2 SiO 5
, CaY 4 (SiO 4 )O and SrY 4 (SiO 4 )O are presented. These materials emit very interesting …
