Original Abstract

The present work reports results of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), optical absorption, radio- and photoluminescence (RL and PL) complex study of the Lu2Si2O7:Pr and Lu2Si2O7:Ce pymsilicate crystals. In both crystals, the EPR spectra demonstrate the presence of characteristic signals originating from the Yb3+, Er3+, Nd3+, Dy3+, Gd3+ and V3+ ions existing in the material as uncontrolled impurities. The corresponding spectra (except for Gd3+) have been analysed in detail and g-and hyperfine tensors are determined for all these ions for the first time in the lutetium pyrosilicate lattice. Optical absorption, RL and PL measurements in the Lu2Si2O7:Pr crystal have shown only the characteristic Pr3+ transitions. In addition, the Pr3+- Pr3+ energy transfer was observed and confirmed experimentally.
