Spectroscopy of Yb3+ in Cubic ZrO2 Crystals

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The absorption and luminescence spectra of Yb3+ ions in yttria-stabilized zirconia crystals are studied. The site-selective luminescence spectra of a ZrO2–12 mol % Y2O3–0.3 mol % Yb2O3 crystal are obtained under excitation at different wavelengths within the absorption band. For this crystal, Yb3+ luminescence spectra are also measured with 3-ms and 5-μs delays relative to the excitation pulse. The results are interpreted under the assumption that the crystals contain three distinct types of optical centers.
