Abstract
The effect of magnesium co-doping on growth conditions, crystal composition, optical and spectral properties of manganese or chromium-doped Ca3(VO4)2 (CVO) crystal was studied. The single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. Effective segregation coefficients of manganese and chromium in the CVO matrix with magnesium co-doping were calculated. A redistribution of the absorption lines intensities was observed in the absorption spectra of CVO:Mn:Mg and CVO:Cr:Mg. Low (15 K) temperature fluorescence measurements confirmed that co-doping CVO crystal with Mg ions leads to the redistribution of Mn ions concentration in different valence states, but does not cause changes in their spectral properties. In the presence of magnesium, additional annealing of the materials resulted in a slower reduction of the valence state of doping ions and a noticeable change in crystal coloration. All investigated impurities have practically no effect on the specific ferroelectric domain structure of CVO.
