Abstract

The spectroscopic features of crystals of the scheelite-structure lithium yttrium fluoride (LiYF4) doped with Nd3+ and Yb3+ have been measured at 300°K. The energy-transfer properties of Nd3+→Yb3+ in this host have been studied and compared with other materials possessing the scheelite structure.
