G. Chadeyron et al., OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF Y3BO6 ACTIVATED BY EU3+, European journal of solid state and inorganic chemistry, 34(1), 1997, pp. 25-39
Y3BO6 berate was prepared by solid state reaction and wet process. The
sample so-obtained were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and
Infra-red spectroscopy. The dopant, Eu3+ is used as a local structura
l probe. From the luminescence spectra obtained under U.V. or visible
excitation the presence of four intrinsic sites available for the rare
earth dopant have been identified.
