L. Macalik et al., EFFECT OF RANDOM DISTRIBUTION AND MOLECULAR-INTERACTIONS ON OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF ER3+ DOPANT IN KY(WO4)(2) AND HO3+ IN KYB(WO4)(2), Journal of molecular structure, 450(1-3), 1998, pp. 179-192
The spectroscopic properties of Er3+ doped KY(WO4)(2) and Ho3+ doped K
Yb(WO4)(2) single crystals are reported and related to their X-ray str
uctures. The experimental data include a survey of electronic absorpti
on and emission features as well as vibrational IR and Raman spectra m
ade in the polarized light. The effect of the random distribution of t
he monovalent and trivalent cations as well as intermolecular interact
ions between the tungstate anions are discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sci
