It was surprising that we see intensive line from the 5D0 → 7F0 transition for the La0.6Eu0.2Ca0.2VO4 sample which represents only tetragonal crystal structure (Fig. 7, curve 4).
Science
The most intensive line corresponds to WGM TE12,1 whose wavelength approximately coincides with the spectral position of the gain maximum.
Science
The most intensive line L1 has asymmetrical shape (so-called Dyson line shape) in all the samples including ShF1 (Figure 3), which demonstrates relation to electron conductivity and indicates a high conductivity of the samples due to nanocarbon [16].
Science
For both Fig. 3 A and B, the confidence intervals for the standard lines for A1C <6.8 completely cover the intensive line, thus limiting conclusions about differences in this tail of the distribution.
