摘要
Ce-doped and Ce:Na-codoped BaLiF3 single crystals were grown by the Czochralski technique under reactive atmosphere. Na+-ions, used as a charge-compensating impurity, compete with Ce3+-ions for Ba2+ sites in the host, reducing the Ce3+ incorporation and degrading the mechanical integrity of crystals. Ce-doped BaLiF3 showed potential for UV tunable lasers. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
