  • RARE-EARTH-DOPED ALUMINUM-GALLIUM-OXIDE FILMS IN THE CORUNDUM-PHASE AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20120045661
    Abstract: The invention provides a means for preparing rare-earth-doped ?-(Al1-xGax)2O3 films by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The invention provides a composition of matter, rare-earth-doped ?-(Al1-xGax)2O3 films, and methods to provide thin films of this material. The invention also provides a means to prepare thin film rare-earth-doped ?-(Al1-xGax)2O3, including Nd: ?-(Al1-xGax)2O3, for use in solid state lasers. Rare-earth-doped ?-Ga2O3 and rare-earth-doped alloys of ?-Ga2O3 and ?-Al2O3 with the same single-crystal structure independent of Ga/Al ratio are disclosed herein.
