The intensity of red Cr3+ photoluminescence (PL) in monoclinic gallium oxide (β−Ga2O3) is suppressed by n-type conductivity, an effect that has been attributed to a Cr deep acceptor level in the bandgap. In n-type material, such an acceptor level would be occupied, resulting in the Cr2+ oxidation state and the absence of Cr3+ PL. To test this model, n-type β−Ga2O3 crystals co-doped with Cr and Zr (a donor) were grown from the melt. The samples show Cr3+ optical absorption bands and a high free-electron concentration of 4×1018cm−3. If Cr were an acceptor, then it would be fully compensated and therefore would not exhibit the Cr3+ optical signature. Hybrid functional calculations indicate that Cr occupies the substitutional octahedral Ga(II) site and that the Cr2+ state is energetically unfavorable, i.e., Cr is not an acceptor. Weak Cr3+ PL was observed in the Cr/Zr co-doped samples. The quenching of PL may be caused by a transfer of energy to free electrons, a nonradiative process that would reduce the emission intensity.

Spinel cobalt vanadate CoV2O4 has been grown on (001) SrTiO3 substrates. Using torque magnetometry experiments, we find that the previously observed temperature-induced anisotropy change, where the easy axis changes from the out-of-plane [001] direction to a biaxial anisotropy with planar <100> easy axes, occurs in a gradual second-order structural phase transition. This paper characterizes this transition and the magnetic anisotropies in the (001), (100), and (1¯10) rotation planes, and explores their field dependence up to 30 T. Below 80 K, hysteretic features appear around the hard axes, i.e., the out-of-plane direction in (1¯10) and (010) rotations and the planar <110> directions in (001) rotations. This is due to a Zeeman energy that originates from the lag of the magnetization with respect to the applied magnetic field as the sample is rotated. The appearance of the hysteresis, which persists up to very high fields, shows that the anisotropy at low temperature is rather strong. Additionally, field-dependent distortions to the symmetry of the torque response in increasing applied fields shows that magnetostriction plays a large role in determining the direction and magnitude of the anisotropy.
