Structural Study of Europium Doped Gadolinium Polyphosphates LiGd(PO3)4 and Its Effect on Their Spectroscopic, Thermal, Magnetic, and Optical Properties

Alkali metal-rare earth polyphosphates LiGd(1-x)Eux(PO3)4 (LGP:Eu3+) (where x= 0, 0.02 and 0.04) were synthesized by solid-state reaction. The Rietveld refinement showed the following cell parameters: I 2/a space group, a=9.635(3) Å, b=7.035(3) Å, c=13.191(3) Å, β=90.082°, V= 894.214Å3, and Z=4. The...
