Abstract

The spectroscopic properties of Ba2Mg(BO3)2:Ce3+ and Ba2Mg(BO3)2:Eu2+ in vacuum-ultraviolet-vis range were investigated. The 5d crystal-field splitting components and the barycenter of Ce3+, the lowest 5d levels, the emission and the Stokes shifts of Eu2+ and Ce3+ in the host lattices, as well as the host-related absorption are identified and discussed in terms of the crystal structure of the host lattice.
