CONSIDERATIONS TO KNOW ABOUT ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL

Radiation induced recharging of Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions in Ce and Nd doped yttrium-aluminium garnet crystals was noticed. This result is dependent upon the Ce3+ ion focus and the type of ionizing radiation.The effects show that the growth ambiance strain has a more substantial impact on defect development in comparison with the crystal rotation rate.
