Abstract |
|
|
|
Magnetic susceptibility measurements of weakly double doped lithium niobate LiNbOsub>3: Er (0.2 wt. %), Tm (0.3 wt. %) single crystal are reported. The dependence of the magnetic susceptibility versus temperature shows complex behavior revealing that the susceptibility may be treated as a sum of the contributions of various entities present: erbium and thulium ions, pairs and/or dimers of rare-earth ions. The results of the magnetic susceptibility measurements allow us to conclude that the distribution of rare-earth ions in weakly doped LiNbO3: Er (0.2 wt. %), Tm (0.3 wt. %) single crystal may be strongly inhomogeneous.
