Title in Portuguese
Fibras monocristalinas de tungstatos duplos de metais alcalinos e terras raras: um estudo de crescimento através da técnica de micro-pulling-down
Keywords in Portuguese
crescimento micro-pulling-down
fibras monocristalinas
tungstatos duplos
Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho, foram realizadas sínteses dos tungstatos duplos NaLa(WO4)2 (NLW), NaGd(WO4)2 (NGW) e LiLa(WO4)2 (LLW) puros e simplesmente dopados com os íons Nd3+ e Yb3+; comparando-se dois métodos de obteção: o de reação no estado sólido e o sol-gel modificado (Pechini). Verificou-se que o envelhecimento do reagente La2O3 (adsorção de umidade ambiente) é um fator determinante na formação dos materiais desejados. Ambos os métodos testados são análogos para obtenção desses materiais se a proporção estequiométrica dos reagentes for a correta. Um estudo empírico foi realizado para crescimento, a partir da fusão, de fibras cristalinas, através do método de micro-pulling-down (µ-PD) (nos modos de aquecimento resistivo e indutivo), de NLW, NGW e LLW puros e simplesmente dopados com os íons Nd3+ e Yb3+. Neste estudo observou-se a evaporação do líquido durante o processo, o efeito da variação das taxas de puxamento e a interação do líquido com o material do cadinho e com a interface de cristalização. Foram obtidas fibras monocristalinas para todos os compostos. Amostras destas fibras foram caracterizadas por difratometria de raios-X (DRX) para verificação da fase formada, por microscopia ótica (MO) e eletrônica de varredura (MEV) para caracterização do diâmetro das fibras, espectrometria por dispersão em energia (EDS/EDX) para determinação da concentração dos dopantes; e também espectroscopia ótica de absorção no VIS-IR para determinação da incorporação do dopante na forma trivalente.

ALKALI RARE EARTH DOUBLE TUNGSTATES SINGLE CRYSTAL FIBERS: A GROWTH STUDY BY THE MICRO-PULLING DOWN METHOD

Abstract in English
At the present work, the pure and Nd,Yb-doped alkali rare earth double tungstates NaLa(WO4)2 (NLW), NaGd(WO4)2 (NGW) and LiLa(WO4)2 (LLW) were synthesized. Two synthesis methods were evaluated: the solid state reaction method and the modified sol-gel method (Pechini). Both of them are similar for the synthesis of these materials if stoichiometric proportion of reagents is used. It was verified that the moisture adsorption from air by the reagent La2O3 is a problem in the formation of the studied compounds. An empirical study of growth from the melt of single-crystalline fibers was achieved through the micro-pulling-down (µ-PD) method (in the heating inductive and resistive modes) of pure and Nd,Yb-doped NLW, NGW and LLW. It was observed in this study the liquid evaporation during the process, the effect of different pulling rates, the liquid interaction with the crucible material and the crystallization interface. Single-crystalline fibers were achieved for all compounds studied. Samples were characterized through X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) for phases identification, optical (OM) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) for fiber diameter visualization, energy dispersion scattering (EDS/EDX) for determining dopants concentration and also optical absorption spectroscopy in the VIS-IR for determining dopants incorporation in the trivalent state.
