A Nd3+:Sr3Gd2(BO3)4 crystal with dimensions of φ20 × 45 mm3 has been grown by the Czochralski method. Nd3+:Sr3Gd2(BO3)4 crystal belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group Pnma (D2h) with a = 0.7401, b = 1.604 and c = 0.8755 nm. The absorption and emission spectra of Nd3+:Sr3Gd2(BO3)4 were investigated. The absorption cross section oa is 3.11 × 10^-20cm2 at 808 nm. The absorption transition at 808 nm has an FWHM of 14 nm. The luminescence lifetime τf is 51.7 μs. The emission cross section oc at 1064 nm wavelength is 1.09 × 10^-19 cm2.展开更多

The structure of Sr3Yb2 (BO3)4 crystal was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pnma with a=7.3750(8), b=15.9265(14), c=8.6776(9), V=1019.25(18)3 , Mr=844.18, Z=4, Dc=5.501 g/cm3 , λ(MoKa)=0.71073, μ= 33.835 mm-1 , F(000)=1480, the final R=0.0339 and wR=0.0907 for 1090 observed reflections with I〉2σ(I). The structure features a three-dimensional framework composed of isolated BO3 planar triangles bridged by YbO8 and SrO8 polyhedra. The Sr2+ and Yb3+ occupy statistically three independent sites with a Cm and two C1 local symmetries.展开更多

The wavelength is 177.3nm obtained by using the second harmonic KBe2BO3F2 crystal with a frequency tripled 1064nm Nd:YVO4 laser. The large flux (10^14 - 10^15 photons/s) and narrow line width (0.26 meV) are suitable for the ultrahigh-energy resolution ARPES. The laser-ARPES can be a powerful tool to study the electronic structure at and near the Fermi level of the superconductor and correlated materials. The laser-ARPES has worked more than 500 h already.展开更多
