B 75 (2007) 195130) for Er3+ and Nd3+ ions in YAIO3 were reanalyzed. These CFPs fitted using R-approach, i.e. with the monoclinic second-rank CFP set to zero, and additionally with one six-rank CFP fixed to zero, turned out to be non-standard. In order to understand better the low symmetry aspects involved in the fitted CFPs and extract useful structtral information inherent in monoclinic CFPs, an approach comprising four methods was utilized. First, superposition model (SPM) was applied to calculate CFPs in the crystallographic axis system. Second, the principal values for the SPM determined CFPs and the orientation of the principal axis system w.r.t, the crystallographic axis system were obtained using the procedure 3DD for diagonalization of the 2rid-rank CFPs. Third, analysis of higher symmetry approximations, i.e. orthorhombic and tea'agonal, was carried out using the pseudosymmetry axes method. Fourth, the closeness factors and norm ratios were employed for quantitative comparisons of various CFP sets. Partial results for Er3+ ions in YAlO3 were presented here, whereas detailed results would be given in a follow-up paper.展开更多

Therefore, it is important to study and develop new red ceramic pigment with perfect color performance. This paper reports the preparation of Cr-doped YAlO_3 red ceramic pigment rendering by sol-gel method with high temperature resistance, good color and proposed color mechanism. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and UV-vis, and the effects of Cr on the crystal structure, color rendering properties and color mechanism were discussed. The results showed that the optimum concentration of coloring agent(Cr) in Cr:YAlO_3 red ceramic pigment was 3 at.%. The main color mechanism was also discussed. Compared with the solid phase sintering and precipitation methods for the synthesis of red ceramic pigment, the sol-gel method possessed obvious advantages, such as perfect mixing of the raw materials, uniform dispersion of doping ions and the pure color.展开更多
The luminescence of Er^3+:YAlO3 in ultraviolet visible and infrared ranges under the 518 nm excitation of the multiples ^2H11/2 have been investigated.

Ultraviolet (275 nm and 318 nm), violet (405 nm and 413 nm) and blue (474 nm) upconversion and infrared downconversion luminescence has been observed. By means of measuring the fluorescence decay curves and using the theory of rate equations, the luminescence kinetics was studied in detail and the processes of energy transfer upconversion (ETU) and excitation state absorption (ESA) were proposed to explain the upconversion phenomena.展开更多
