Sm. Kaczmarek et al., Recharging processes of chromium ions in Cr : SrGdGa3O7 and Cr : SrLaGa3O7single crystals, CRYST RES T, 34(8), 1999, pp. 1023-1029
Growth and recharging processes of chromium ions in SrGdGa3O7 and SrLaGa3O7
single crystals incorporated during growth or doping by diffusion (only fo
r SrLaGa3O7 crystal) were analyzed. The annealing at 1000 degrees C in air
and ionizing with gamma rays (doses from 10(3) to 10(5) Gy) and protons (10
(14) cm(-2) only for SrGdGa3O7 crystal) were performed. Different kinds of
chromium ions valency, from two to four, were found. Electron spin resonanc
e measurements in the temperature range 5-300K with the use of Brucker spec
trometer were also done.
