Abstract
Cubic zirconium dioxide crystals are grown with the skull melting tech nique. The effective distribution coefficients for Nd3+, Sm3 + and Er3 + as dopants are determined experimentally as a function of the crysta l growth velocity. With the Burton-Prim-Slichter theory, the equilibri um distribution coefficients can be calculated. The distribution coeff icients of all other trivalent rare earth ions can be estimated by app lying the correlation towards the ionic radii.
