Abstract

We have grown Mn:LaGaO3 crystals (Mn=0.5%, 2%, 10%, and 50%) and studied their properties with the methods of optical and EPR spectroscopy. We have found Mn2+, Mn4+, and Mn5+ ions in low doped crystals (Mn=0.5% and 2%) and Mn3+ ions in crystals with higher Mn concentrations (10% and 50%). The formation of Mn3+ valence state in Mn:LaGaO3 is discussed.
