Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1134/s0020168512050081
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We have studied the pulsed cathodoluminescence spectra and kinetics of CaF 2 :Yb 2+ ,Yb 3+ (3 mol % YbF 3 ) single crystals and pressed samples under excitation with nanosecond electron pulses and determined the characteristic times and intensities of nanosecond and microsecond emission decay components at temperatures from 15 to 300 K. The results demonstrate that deformation pressing in vacuum at 1150°C followed by annealing in a CF 4 atmosphere at 1180°C has an insignificant effect on the emissive properties of CaF 2 :Yb 2+ ,Yb 3+ .
