Abstract
In Li2Ge7O15(LGO) crystals doped with Cr3+ and Mn4+ ions the transform ation of luminescence spectra in the region of R-lines at ferroelectri c phase transition D-2h --> C-2v in LGO was used to determine the poin t group symmetry and microstructure of 3d(3)-centers. In experiments o n pseudo-Stark splitting of R-lines in external electric field, the ph ase transition induced polarization of 3d(3)-ions was observed, the in duced dipole moments being directed perpendicular to ferroelectric axi s of C-2v phase.
