Erbium luminescent probe in a GdFe3(BO3)4 single crystal: phase transitions and temperature measurements
https://doi.org/10.26907/mrsej-24210
Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate a detection of three phase transitions in a GdFe3 (BO3 )4 single crystal using the photoluminescence of Er3+ ions introduced in a small amount into the crystal. A first-order R32^P3121 structural phase transition is seen as a sharp spectral line shift at Ts = 127 K. Magnetic ordering of the iron subsystem at TN = 37 K causes a splitting of Er3+ Kramers doublets and is detected by a splitting of spectral lines. A first-order spinreorientation phase transition at TR = 9 K manifests itself in a sharp change of the line splitting pattern. A comparison of the measured ratio of luminescence line intensities with the ratio of the Boltzmann populations of the involved levels is proposed to control the possible heating of the GdFe3(BO3)4:Er3+ sample by exciting radiation.
