Abstract Click to copy section linkSection link copied! The rich magnetic properties of rare-earth orthochromites (RCrO3) have been studied for decades, but luminescence from their rare-earth ions has not been reported. We report the photoluminescence (PL) of faceted microcrystals of the G-type antiferromagnetic orthochromites YCrO3, Yb3+-doped YCrO3, and YbCrO3 (i.e., Y1-xYbxCrO3, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1), prepared via a molten-salt synthesis.
