摘要
We report on the first layer growth of a Mn6+-doped material. Large-size BaSO4 substrates of 10 x 6 x 4 mm(3) wef e grown from a LiCl solvent by the flux method. Flat surfaces of undoped BaSO4 were then achieved by use of liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) from a CsCl-KCI-NaCl solvent. Finally, BaSO4: Mn6+ layers were grown by LPE with growth velocities of approximately 3 Rmh-1, at temperatures of 550-508 degreesC. Absorption, luminescence, luminescence-excitation and luminescence-decay measurements confirmed the incorporation of manganese solely in its hexavalent oxidation state. This material possesses potential as a near-infrared tunable laser with a wavelength range larger than Ti: sapphire.
