Abstract
ABSTRACTMixed lanthanum-praseodymium aluminum dimetaborate and aluminum orthoborate crystals were grown. The processes of excitation energy relaxation for the crystals were compared. For praseodymium-doped lanthanum aluminum dimetaborate crystals, the effect of quantum splitting was predicted and observed experimentally: under X-ray excitation emission of two photons at 1S0 → 1D2 and 1D2 → 3H4 transitions was shown. The possibility of quantum splitting for aluminum dimetaborates can be explained by the relatively high cation-ligand distances for this lattice.
