It give a brief review of a spectroscopic research on YbAI3（BO3）4 （YbAB）, on a large group of magnetic iron borates, and on NdCra（BO3）4.展开更多

The first example was connected with defects present in crystals grown by flux techniques. The second example dealt with detection of stresses and deformations in rare-earth-containing crystals, by registering splitting of spectral lines. The third example showed that a very small amount （at the level ofppm） of different RE ions present in a crystal could be determined using high-resolution spectroscopy. This work was carried out by the author＇s group in collaboration with several institutions in Rus- sia and abroad.展开更多
