Abstract

Ca9Nd(VO4)7 single crystal was grown by the Czochralski method in inert atmosphere. The crystal structure and chemical composition were studied. Polarized absorption and luminescence spectra were investigated in details. It was found that the Ca9Nd(VO4)7 crystals belongs to self-activated laser materials with a weak concentration quenching of luminescence. Judd-Ofelt analysis was performed. The emission cross-sections spectra for 4F3/2 → 4I9/2, 4I11/2, 4I13/2 transitions were determined. For the first time Raman spectra of the Ca9Nd(VO4)7 single crystal were recorded and interpreted.
