Abstract

Abstract The series of La1-xPrxGa0.5Sb1.5O6 solid solutions (x = 0–1) with PbSb2O6 structure was synthesized. The comparative study of the La1-xPrxGa0.5Sb1.5O6 morphology showed all compounds have net microstructures. Herein the Pr concentration increasing leads to particles size decreasing from 400 up to 200 nm in the samples with low Pr content and to recrystallization and coarsening of the particles in Pr-rich ones. Using LaGa0.5Sb1.5O6 as an example, it was shown that the compounds have a wide transmission region in the visible and IR spectral ranges and are characterized by a low-energy phonon spectrum. An analysis of the spectral-luminescent characteristics revealed the presence of a cross-relaxation process (1D2→1G4) → (3H4→3F4) of Pr3+ ions for La1-xPrxGa0.5Sb1.5O6 at x ≥ 0.07. It was showed that a broadband radiation of thermal nature is observed under laser excitation with λ = 457 nm and a power density of J = 4.65 kW/cm2 for the samples with high (x = 0.4–1) praseodymium content.
