Abstract

Ln3+-stabilized Na2SO4 (phase I) single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. Differential thermal analysis revealed the influence of the ionic radius of Ln3+ on the stabilization of Na2SO4(I). Distribution coefficients (∼0.8–1.1) were measured by the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy method and x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. Spectroscopic investigations yielded absorption cross sections of 0.6 × 10−20 cm2 (π-polarized, 928.5 nm) and 1.5 × 10−20 cm2 (π-polarized, 797.3 nm) for Yb3+, La3+:Na2SO4 and Nd3+:Na2SO4, respectively. Crystal growth of Gd3+-stabilized Na2SO4(I) provides an interesting new material for stimulated Raman scattering experiments.
