Abstract

PbMoO4:Nd3+ single crystals have been grown using different doping schemes. Their dielectric properties have been studied in the temperature range of 20–550°C at frequencies from 25 to 106 Hz. The activation energies of dielectric relaxation are determined for all samples, and the Nd3+ luminescence decay kinetics is studied. The most realistic models of activator centers in PbMoO4:Nd3+ crystals are proposed based on the optical and dielectric spectroscopy data.
