RESUMO

This work is devoted to study the optical, magnetic and structural properties of the elpasolite crystal Cs2NaAlF6 with 0.1, 1.0, 3.0, 10.0, 30.0 and 50.0% of Cr3+ ions. The interest on this material lies on the fact that such system presents a broad, intense band in the visible and infrared regions at room temperature and therefore can be used as a tunable radiation source in optical, optoelectronic devices and detectors, among others. To investigate the optical properties luminescence, excitation and time-resolved luminescence measurements at room and low temperatures were realized. The results show broad bands attributed to the Cr3+ ions in two non-equivalent sites, both of them with octahedral coordination. The results also show that the luminescence integrated intensity, emission baricenter and luminescence lifetime change with the change of impurity doping. Specific heat measurements were performed as a function of magnetic field in a wide temperature range, whose results show the appearance of the Schottky effect at very low temperatures. The magnetic susceptibility measurements show a paramagnetic behavior, typical of the dopant ion Cr3+, with a short-range magnetic ordering. To determine the structural properties, neutron diffraction measurements were realized at room temperature.
