Abstract
Ce9.33(SiO4)6O2 (CSO) crystals were grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method. Rietveld refinement of XRD patterns confirmed the oxyapatite structure of CSO, XPS analysis revealed the valence of Ce ions in CSO crystals. Magnetization curve and temperature dependencies of the magnetic susceptibility were measured, paramagnetic behavior and magnetic anisotropy have been observed. Photoluminescence and Faraday rotation characteristics of the CSO crystal were investigated at room temperature. Verdet constants of CSO were about 1.6 times as large as those of TGG. Baesd on Van Vleck–Hebb theory, the effective transition wavelength and probability of CSO crystal were calculated and compared with other Ce3+-containing crystals. The absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of 4f→5d transitions in Ce3+ ions in CSO crystal were studied.
