Growth and characterization of the crystal LiGdsub(0,25)Lusub(0,75)Fsub(4) doped with neodymium. In: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DEFECTS IN INSULATING MATERIALS, 16th, August 24-29, 2008, Aracaju, SE. <b>Proceedings...</b> Disponível em: http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/19227.http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/19227Mixed crystals based on scheelites type LiLnF4 (Ln = lanthanides, Y) are an alternative in the development materials with better structural features to be doped with light rare earth ions. In this work a LiGd0.232Lu0.75Nd0.018F4 crystal was successfully grown using the Czochralski method in a commercial system with automated diameter control, under a mixed atmosphere of argon and CF4. It was demonstrated that G25L75LF:Nd is an ideal solid solution that can be obtained with good optical quality from its stoichiometric composition. The spectroscopic studies showed that Nd presents larger bandwidth at 792 and 797 nm, which can be suitable to obtain a laser medium for mode-locking purposes.closedAccesscrystalscrystal growthdoped materialsneodymiumczochralski methodoptical propertiesx-ray diffractionTexto completo de evento
