AB  - In this article, we report characterization of the layered composite fabricated from Nd3+ doped calcium twigstate single crystal (CaWO4 :Nd3+) and poly(methyl methacrylate) - PMMA with various organic-inorganic interfaces: CaWO4:Nd3+/MPTMS, CaWO4:Nd3+/PMMA and CaWO4:Nd3+/MPTMS/PMMA, a novel approach to optical composite materials. A trivalent neodymium-doped CaWO4 single crystal was grown by the Czochralski method. Poly(methyl methacrylate) - PMMA, was used as a protective polymer coating and (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxy silane (MPTMS), with aim to provide better adhesion between the crystal surface and the polymer in the composite. The optical properties of the crystal plates with various layers applied on surface were characterized using FTIR absorption, IR reflectivity, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Performed tests on the structural, optical and photo-luminescent properties of composites can facilitate the research of potential applications in micro- and optoelectronics. Hardness of CaWO4:Nd3+ before and after surface modification was determined by micro Vickers hardness test. The improved hardness of composite with the use of the MPTMS as an adhesion primer before PMMA was achieved. FTIR spectroscopy indicates the establishing of chemical bonding between single crystal layer, silane and polymer layer. Raman and PL spectroscopy confirm that optical properties of crystal with polymer layers were preserved.

AB  - The aim of the current work was to assess obtain a single crystal of calcium tungstate doped with neodymium - (CaWO4:Nd3+), and after that, the crystal was characterized with various spectroscopic methods. The single crystal was grown from the melt using the Czochralski method in air. By optimizing growth conditions,  lt 001 gt -oriented CaWO4:Nd3+ crystalc up to 10 mm in diameter were grown. Number of dislocations in obtained crystal was 10(2) per cm(2). Micro hardness was measured with the Vickers pyramid. Anisotropy in  lt 001 gt  direction was not observed. Selected CaWO4:Nd3+ single crystal was cut into several tiles with the diamond saw. The plates were polished with a diamond paste. The crystal structure is confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The obtained crystal was studied by Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Seven Raman and six IR optical active modes predicted by group theory are observed. FTIR confirmed the occurrence of all the functional groups and bonds in this material. From the FTIR spectrum, a strong peak of 862 cm(-1) has been obtained due to the stretching vibration of WO42- in scheelite structure, and a weak but sharp band at 433 cm(-1) has been noticed due to the metal-oxygen (Ca-O) band. Estimated luminescence lifetime of F-4(5/2) - the I-4(9/2) transition is about 120 mu s; estimated luminescence lifetime of F-4(3/2) - the I-4(9/2) transition is about 140 mu s. All performed investigations show that the obtained CaWO4:Nd3+ single crystal has good optical quality, which was the goal of this work.

AB  - The objective of this study was characterization of anodic film obtained when Ag43Cu37Zn20 alloy was treated electrochemically in 3.5% wt. NaCI under potentiostatic conditions. At the potential of +0.25 V a complex multilayer film is formed. XRD shows that it consists of CuCI and zinc hydroxichlorides with a small amount of Cu2O, probably formed in the film pores. The anodic film is a mixture of Cu2O, CuCI, Zn-5(OH)(8)center dot H2O and beta-Zn(OH)Cl. Phases of the alloy, Ag and Cu rich, show different anodic behavior. It was assumed that all phonon lines in the obtained Raman spectra were of the Lorentzian type, which is one of the common type of lines for this kind of analysis. Phases of Ag, CuCI, fl-Zn(OH)CI, Cu2O and Zn-5(OH)(8)(Cl)(2)center dot H2O were all registered by XRD.

The critical diameter and the critical rate of rotation were calculated. Suitable polishing and etching solutions were determined. As a result of our experiments, the transparent YAG and pale pink Nd:YAG single crystals were produced. The obtained crystals were studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman and IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure was confirmed by XRD. The 15 Raman and 17 IR modes were observed. The Raman and IR spectroscopy results are in accordance with X-ray diffraction analysis. The obtained YAG and Nd:YAG single crystals were without core and of good optical quality. The absence of a core was confirmed by viewing polished crystal slices. Also, it is important to emphasize that the obtained Nd:YAG single crystal has a concentration of 0.8 wt.% Nd3(+) that is characteristic for laser materials.

AB  - In this paper, we used the Czochralski method to obtain good quality yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) and yttrium aluminium garnet doped with neodymium (Nd: YAG) crystals. The investigations were based on the growth mechanisms and the shape of the liquid/solid interface crystallization front on the crystal properties and incorporation of Nd3+ ions. The obtained single YAG and Nd: YAG crystals were studied by use of x-ray diffraction, Raman and IR spectroscopy. There are strong metal oxygen vibrations in the region of 650-800 cm(-1) which are characteristics of Al-O bond: peaks at 784/854, 719/763 and 691/707 cm(-1) correspond to asymmetric stretching vibrations in tetrahedral arrangement. Peaks at 566/582, 510/547 and 477/505 cm(-1) are asymmetric stretching vibrations and 453/483 cm(-1) is the symmetric vibration of the Al-O bond in octahedral arrangements of the garnet structure. Lower energy peaks correspond to translation and vibration of cations in different coordinations-tetrahedral, octahedral and dodecahedral in the case of the lowest modes.

AB  - In this work, single crystals of bismuth silicon oxide (BSO; Bi12SiO20) have been grown by the Czochralski method. The growth conditions were studied. The critical diameter and the critical rate of rotation were calculated. Suitable polishing and etching solutions were determined. The structure of the Bi12SiO20 has been investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results obtained are discussed and compared with the published data. The pale yellow Bi12SiO20 single crystals prepared were without cores. Using spectroscopic measurements 19 Raman and 5 IR modes were observed.
