A Cluster-Based Model of the Spectrum of Erbium-Doped GdVO
Zachary H. Roberts, Masaya Hiraishi, Luke S. Trainor +1
Experimental observations of rare-earth ions doped into an antiferromagnetic crystal show an enriched optical spectrum. In this paper we present a cluster-based model to describe e…
Elucidating magnetic structure with optical dopants: erbium-doped GdSiO
Luke S. Trainor, Masaya Hiraishi, J. -R. Soh +1
The narrowness of the optical transitions of rare-earth-ion dopants makes them highly sensitive probes of their environment. We measured the optical transitions Er dopants t…
Optical spectroscopy of single- and two-ion transitions in an antiferromagnetic stoichiometric rare-earth crystal
Masaya Hiraishi, Gabrielle A. Hunter-Smith, Gavin G. G. King +5
We characterise optical transitions of neodymium ions (Nd3+) in antiferromagnetic neodymium gallate (NdGaO3) with applied fields up to 3 T. The magnetic phase of this material has…
Long optical coherence times and coherent rare earth-magnon coupling in a rare earth doped anti-ferromagnet
Masaya Hiraishi, Zachary H. Roberts, Gavin G. G. King +2
Rare-earth ions are characterised by transitions with very narrow linewidths even in solid state crystals. Exceedingly long coherence times have been shown on both spin and optical…
