Abstract

The structure, IR absorption and luminescence spectra of solid solutions of Lu0.99 ‒ xGdxEu0.01BO3 at 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15 were studied. The correspondence between the structure and spectral characteristics of these compounds was established. It is shown that at x ≤ 0.05, the orthoborates Lu0.99 ‒ xGdxEu0.01BO3, consisting of lutetium borate LuBO3, which has two stable structural modifications (calcite and vaterite), and gadolinium borate GdBO3, which has only one structural modification (vaterite), form a solid solution with a calcite structure and a microcrystal size of 15–20 μm. As x increases, the amount of vaterite phase increases sequentially, and at x ≥ 0.1, the entire volume of the sample has a vaterite structure. At Gd3+ concentration in the range of 0.05 < x ≤ 0.1, the samples of Lu0.99 – xGdxEu0.01BO3 are two-phase. It is shown for the first time that at x > 0.05, the vaterite phase appears both in the volume of large microcrystals (15–20 μm) and in the form of small microcrystals (1–2 μm).
