Investigation of La3+ Doped Yb2Sn2O7 as new thermal barrier materials (2015)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Xu, F., Wheatley, R. J., Choy, K.-L., Neate, N. C., & Hou, X. (2015). Investigation of La3+ Doped Yb2Sn2O7 as new thermal barrier materials. Materials and Design, 85, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2015.07.022

Low thermal conductivity is one of the key requirements for thermal barrier coating materials. From the consideration of crystal structure and ion radius, La3+ Doped Yb2Sn2O7 ceramics with pyrochlore crystal structures were synthesised by sol-gel met...

Journal Article
Tang, Z., Furniss, D., Fay, M., Sakr, H., Sójka, L., Neate, N., Weston, N., Sujecki, S., Benson, T. M., & Seddon, A. B. (2015). Mid-infrared photoluminescence in small-core fiber of praseodymium-ion doped selenide-based chalcogenide glass. Optical Materials Express, 5(4), 870-886. https://doi.org/10.1364/OME.5.000870

© 2015 Optical Society of America. Rare earth (RE)-ion doped chalcogenide glasses are attractive for mid-infrared (MIR) fiber lasers for operation >4 μm. Our prior modeling suggests that praseodymium (Pr) is a suitable RE-ion dopant for realizing a s...
