The optical properties of single crystals of the hexagonal manganites RMnO3 (R = Ho, Tm, Yb) have been investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the spectral range 0.6-5.0 eV. The measurements show a strong anisotropy of the diagonal elements of the dielectric tensor. It has been demonstrated that the optical absorption edge for the polarization Ec was determined by the intense band of O(2p)Mn (3d) transition centered near 1.6 eV, whereas this band for the polarization Ec was strongly suppressed and shifted toward higher energies by 0.15-0.20 eV. The spectral dependences of the ε1(E) and ε2(E) for HoMnO3, TmMnO3 and YbMnO3 single crystals were qualitatively similar. The broad absorption band at E<1.0 eV clearly appears at the energies below the fundamental absorption edge of all of study compounds. It is possible, the origin of the near-infrared ε2(E) absorption is associated with 4f-4f transitions of R3+ ions.

Single Crystals of Eu-Doped Calcium Orthoborate Have Been Grown by Micro-Pulling (μ-PD) Technique with Radio Frequency Heating System, and its Transmittance, Photoluminescence and Radiation Responses Were Investigated. In Transmittance Spectra, Eu-Doped Crystal Showed Broad Absorption Band around 200-450 nm, which Is due to the Complex of Charge Transfer (CT) Transition and 4f-4f Transition of Eu3+. Intense Eu2+5f-4f and Eu3+4f-4f Emission Peaks Were Observed when Excited to 265 nm and 385 nm, and the Calculated Decay Times Were 230 ns and 1.5 ms, Respectively.241Am 5.5 Mev α-Ray Excited Radioluminescence Spectra Indicated both Eu2+5f-4f and EuSuperscript text3+ 4f-4f Emission Peaks.

AbstractThe (MnIn_2S_4)_1– x • (AgIn_5S_8)_ x alloy single crystals are grown for the first time by the Bridgman method in the entire range of component concentrations. The composition of the single crystals and their crystal structure are determined. It is shown that the alloy crystallizes in the cubic spinel structure. The unit-cell parameter of the single crystals ( a ) is calculated, and its dependence on the composition parameter ( x ) is determined. It is established that the parameter a linearly varies with x . From the transmittance spectra in the region of the fundamental absorption edge, the band gap ( E _ g ) of the MnIn_2S_4 and AgIn_5S_8 compounds and (MnIn_2S_4)_1– x • (AgIn_5S_8)_ x alloys is determined, and the dependence of Eg on the parameter x is constructed. It is found that the band gap E _ g nonlinearly varies with x and has a maximum at x = 0.6.
