This paper reports on the supercontinuum generation in yttrium orthosilicate bulk crystal and 6-mm-long ion implanted planar waveguide. The waveguide is fabricated by 6 MeV oxygen ions implantation with fluence of 5 × 10(14) ions/cm(2) at room temperature. The yttrium orthosilicate bulk crystal and waveguide are pumped using a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser with a center wavelength of 800 nm. Th...

Yttrium fluoride (YF₃) and yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) protective coatings prepared using an atmospheric plasma spraying technique were used to investigate the relationship between surface erosion behaviors and their nanoparticle generation under high-density plasma (1012-1013 cm-3) etching. As examined by transmission electron microscopy, the Y₂O₃ and YF₃ coatings become oxyfluorinated after exposure...

The study of IIIA-IIIB-V type thin films has recently been receiving a great deal of attention as possible solutions to optimize and to further engineer the electronic, optical and structural properties of optoelectronic materials. In this work we studied the influence of yttrium addition to InN films, in connection with YN band-gap, and explored the possibility of tuning the optical and electr...

The study was carried out by determining the effect of calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetate on the excretion and distribution in rats of a number of rare earths and yttrium, and correlating the magnitude of these effects with the stability constants of the chelates formed with some of the rare earths. These rare earths were selected because they form a long series of closely related elements wit...

The crystallization behavior of a glass with the composition 54.7 SiO2·10.9 Al2O3·15.0 MgO·3.4 ZrO2·16.0 Y2O3 is studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) including electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and (scanning) transmission electron microscopy [(S)TEM] including energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS). This glass shows the sole surface crystallizatio...

Rare-earth metal carboryne complexes LRE(C2B10H10)(thf)n [n = 2, RE Y (1a), Er (1b); n 1, (2); L 2-(2,5-Me2C4H2N)C6H4NC(Ph)N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)] were synthesized in good yields via either an alkane elimination reaction of rare-earth dialkyls LRE(CH2SiMe3)2 with 1 equiv o-carborane (o-C2B10H12) THF or a salt metathesis yttrium dichloride LYCl2(thf)3 Li2C2B10H10 toluene. They could be viewed as class ...

Alkoxy-amino-bis(phenolate) yttrium amide and alkoxide complexes promote the ring-opening polymerization of (3S,6S)-dimethyl-2,5-morpholinedione at 60-100 degrees C via a coordination-insertion polymerization mechanism.
