Much attention has been given in recent years to the study of tungstates and molybdates, especially those containing rare earth elements. In the last years, there has been a much interest to study the properties of monovalent (Li-Cs) and trivalent (Al, Ga, In, Cr, Bi, Y, La or lanthanide Ln=Ce-Lu) double tungstates or double molybdates crystals. These Crystal tungstates were shown to be promising for of variety of laser, scintillator and phosphor applications.

In this study, many tungstate and molybdate crystals were synthesized using the solid state reaction. Different conditions of preparation where used to obtain the MAl (XO4)2, (M= Li, Na and K; X= W and Mo). The crystal structural, morphological structure, optical absorption experiments and quantum efficiency of the sampl... view more»
