A5RE4X[TO4]4 crystal growth and photoluminescence. Fluoride flux synthesis of sodium and potassium rare earth silicate oxyfluorides1. Issue 25 (7th July 2015) - Latshaw, Allison M.
Abstract Crystals of Na5RE4F[SiO4]4 (RE = Pr, Nd, Sm–Tm) and K5Pr4F[SiO4]4 were grown by flux growth. Antiferromagnetic ordering, second harmonic generation, intense optical properties, and fluorescence quantum yield are discussed.
