The recovery of high-added value products from phosphate byproducts presents currently a
great economic and environmental interests. Rare earth elements (REEs) are present in …

In this work, the series of Tb3+/Eu3+ co-doped xerogels and derivative glass-ceramics
containing CaF2 nanocrystals were prepared and characterized. The in situ formation of …

Nanoparticles of erbium‐doped calcium fluoride were synthesised by the coprecipitation
method. Micromorphology of the obtained nanoparticles was observed by transmission …

Nd, Gd: CaF2 single-crystal fibers (SCFs) of various Nd3+ and Gd3+ concentrations were
grown by a modified temperature gradient technique (TGT) using a home-designed multi …

YbF 3-doped and NaF co-doped calcium fluoride crystals were grown using the Vertical
Bridgman method. Transparent colorless crystals were obtained in graphite crucible in …

The alkaline-earth fluorides crystallize in the cubic structure and constitute an important
class of relatively simple ionic crystals whose optical and lattice-dynamical properties have …

The main objective of this thesis work, which is a part of the ANR SPLENDID2 project, is to
explore a wide range of luminescent inorganic materials, presenting a low phonon energy …

Three concentrations of YbF 3-doped BaF 2 crystals were grown using the conventional
Bridgman method. Transparent colorless crystals were obtained in graphite crucible in …

Abstract YbF 3-doped and 1 mol% PbF 2 co-doped CaF 2 crystals were grown by vertical
Bridgman method using a shaped graphite furnace in vacuum. Dielectric spectra and optical …

Abstract YbF 3-doped and PbF 2-codoped CaF 2 crystals were grown using the vertical
Bridgman method. The optical absorption spectra reveal the existence of both Yb 2+ and Yb …
