Abstract

Temperature dependence of Yb³⁺ optical absorption spectrum has been studied in crystals Yb_xTm_1-xAl₃(BO₃)₄ (x = 0.1, 0.2 and 1) in the temperature range 1.7-293 K. The spectra of the crystals appeared to be practically identical for the studied ytterbium concentrations. Raman scattering spectrum of YbAl₃(BO₃)₄ crystal has been measured. Group theory analysis of the optical absorption spectra is made, and new energy structure of the ground and excited states of Yb³⁺ ion, based on the experimental data obtained, is presented. Transformation of the local environment of Yb³⁺ ion depending on temperature has been found out. Spectrum of luminescence has been calculated from the absorption spectrum by reciprocity method with the use of the proposed energy structure.
