Crystal-Growth, Characterization and Structure Refinement of Neodymium3+ Doped Gehlenite, a New Laser Material (Ca2Al2Sio7)
In order to find new Nd3+ laser materials pumpable by laser diode, gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7) was chosen as a host matrix for neodymium ions. Large single crystals of Ca2-xNdxA12+xSi1-xO7 (0
