摘要
This paper reports the optical spectroscopy (absorption and luminescence) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of codoped SC2O3 LiNbO3:Cr crystals (Sc3+ ions concentration was varied from 0 to 7%). Two kinds of Cr3+ ions: Cr-Li(3+) and C-Nb(3+) ccntres were observed with optical and magnetic characteristics very similar to that reported in MgO and ZnO codoped LiNbO3:Cr crystals. However in Sc2O3 codoped samples the Cr-Li(3+) centre is predominant in all the Sc2O3 concentration ranges examined. At variance with codoped MgO and ZnO, only a partial Cr3+ centre redistribution takes place for a Sc3+ ions content around 3%. This critical value is discussed considering a charge compensation model.
