Abstract

In this paper, optical properties of Eu³⁺:Y₂SiO₅ have been investigated. ⁷F_J(J equals 0,1,2,3,4)$ARLR⁵D_0,1,2 transitions of Eu³⁺- doped in Y₂SiO₅ crystal were studied by transmission spectra, fluorescence spectra, photoluminescence excitation (or absorption) spectra and site selective fluorescence spectra. Nearly fifty Stark energy levels are recorded in our experiments. The results show that the Eu³⁺ ions occupy two inequivalent sites whose spectral lines of ⁵D₀$ARLR⁷F₀ transitions are about 0.2 nm from each other in Y₂SiO₅ crystal. By analyzing these spectra we also find that both sites are centers of low symmetry. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of Eu³⁺:Y₂SiO₅ shows that the crystal is monoclinic, and lattices constants a, b, c and (beta) is obtained by a simulation with the measured diffraction angles. The lattice constants a, b, c is found slightly larger but very close to those of undoped Y₂SiO₅ crystal.
