Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Undoped and neodymium-doped (1 at %) gadolinium vanadate (GdVO4) single crystals 5 mm in diameter and up to 25 mm in length, uniform in cross section, have been grown by the micropulling down method. The chemical and phase compositions of the crystals have been determined, and their absorption spectra were measured.
