【文章摘要】 The bulk crystal growth of rare-earth tantalates RE_8Ta_2O_(17) (RE = Gd, Y, and Lu) was first achieved using the optical floating zone method. The crystals are colorlessness and exhibit a high transparency with an absorption edge at -265 nm. They are characterized in fluorite-type structure Fm-3m, and their compositions were found shifted from the nominal RE/Ta ratio of one, being smaller as the ionic radius of RE increases. Under light excitation of 230 nm, all the RE_8Ta_2O_(17) samples emit at -280 nm originating from Ta-0 charge transfer. However, undoped RE_8Ta_2O_(17) series only emit a weak luminescence due to the strong self-absorption of their UV emissions.
