Based on the publications during the period 1990–2006, an attempt is made to summarize
some of the important tendencies in integrated optics as well as the different techniques for …

The formation enthalpies for alkali rare-earth compounds of the type K3RE (PO4) 2 where
RE= Sc, Y, Lu, Er, Ho, Dy, Gd, Nd, or Ce and for A3Lu (PO4) 2 compounds with A= K, Rb, or …

The luminescent characteristics of the double phosphate KLuP 2 O 7 doped with Pr 3+ ions,
a promising optical material for scintillator applications, were investigated using various …

The crystal structures of five new alkali rare earth diphosphates were obtained by Rietveld
refinement of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) profiles, including four alkali lutetium …

A lanthanide-doped inorganic down-shifting nanophosphor that converts the intense ultra-
violet (UV) light photons to visible-light photons is highly attractive for dye-sensitized solar …

When appropriately activated, alkali rare-earth double phosphates of the form: M 3 RE (PO
4) 2 (where M denotes an alkali metal and RE represents either a rare-earth element or Y or …

Cerium and molybdenum-activated lutetium aluminum perovskite (LuAlO3, LuAP) and
mixed lutetium-yttrium aluminum perovskite (LuxY1− xAlO3, LuYAP) scintillator crystals have …

In this manuscript we report crystal structure of a new complex binary phosphate K2Ce4+
(PO4) 2 in K2O–P2O5–CeO2 system prepared by solid state reaction at moderate …

Spectroscopic properties of Ce3+ and Pr3+-doped AREP2O7-type alkali rare earth
diphosphates (A= Na, K, Rb, Cs; RE= Y, Lu) have been investigated using VUV …

K3Lu (PO4) 2: Ce single crystals have been studied under gamma, X-ray, VUV, and UV
excitation. For all of the excitation forms, the luminescence of these materials is dominated …
