Abstract
Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) is a composite crystalline material used as a substrate in various optical applications, especially high-power lasers. It is currently doped with different elements depending on the desired application. This has generated small controversies depending on the fabrication method as well as the doping content. In the present work, a high-purity YAG single crystal was characterized using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique. Exploratory spectra, high-resolution spectra for C 1s, O 1s, Y 3d, and Al 2p, and valence band (VB) spectra were acquired. The results showed the presence of yttrium and aluminum oxides with the characteristic stoichiometry of YAG. In addition, the presence of adventitious carbon was detected, without the presence of impurities.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
