Synthesis, luminescence and magnetic properties of YGa3-xCrxB4O12

The synthesis temperature of YGa3B4O12 and the effect of the synthesis temperature and chromium doping on the luminescence properties were studied. YGa3-xCrxB4O12 were synthesized and their magnetic properties were described. Results show that the fluorescence intensity increases with the increasing of synthesis temperature. The structure of compounds was stabilized, and their emission spectra were changed when small quantity of chromium was doped in. The magnetic susceptibilities increase with the increasing of Cr3+ concentration.
