Thermal, spectroscopic, and laser characterization of Nd:LuxY1-xVO4 series crystals

A series of Nd:LuxY1-xVO4 (x = 0.10, 0.26, 0.41, 0.61, 0.67, 0.80) mixed laser crystals were grown and researched systematically, for the first time to our knowledge. Their thermal properties were investigated, including the specific heat, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity and the material con...
