Abstract
Absorption, excitation, and luminescence measurements are presented for LiGa5-xFexO8 with concentrations x from 0.015 to 0.26. The emission and excitation data indicate that the red luminescence observed is due to the 6A1(6S)←4T1(4G) transition in the d5 configuration for Fe3+ in tetrahedral sites. Single-crystal samples allow direct absorption measurements for the first time and these indicate that most of the Fe3+ substitutes for Ga3+ in octahedral sites. Fine structure in the zero-phonon line and in the sideband is reported.
