Dynamic Site-Occupancy Evolution and Defect Engineering in {Tb3}[Ga x Sc1– x ]2(Al3)O12 Magneto-optical Crystals
Tb3Sc2Al3O12 is a highly promising magneto-optical crystal for Faraday isolators in high-power solid-state lasers, yet its application is severely restricted by cracking induced by intrinsic lattice distortion and AlSc antisite defects. To overcome these limitations, we adopted a site-selective engineering strategy b...
