Methods of optical absorption (OA), photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence decay (PLD), X-my excited luminescence (XL) and cathodeluminescence (CL) were used in these investigations. The results showed that the absorption band peak at 202,394 and 532 nm originated from F and F^+ color center induced by the weak reducing growth atmosphere, green emission band near 500 nm derived from Ce3^+ -Ce^3+ pairs and band at 650 - 850 nm from some unintentional impurity in crystals.展开更多
