The mixtures were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction with high purity SrCO3, Al2O3 and Cr2O3 powders. Measurements by X-ray diffraction show that the samples have three different phases: Sr3Al2O6, Sr4Al2O7 and a unknown residual one. In this work it is presented for the first time, the optical investigation of the Sr3Al2O6 doped with 1% of Cr3+ ions. This investigation is crowed out by emission, photoluminescence excitation and photoacoustic absorption spectroscopy at 4 K and room temperature. The emission spectra have three overlapped broad bands with their barycenters around 760 nm, 841 nm and 675 nm. These three bands are originated from three different emission centers of trivalent chromium ions, each one associated with a distinguished phase in this sample. Moreover, all bands are assigned to the phonon-arrested 4T2(4F) → 4A2(4F) electronic transition. In addition, for the case of Cr3+ ions in Sr3Al2O6 there is a R-line located at 745 nm and attributed to the 2E(2G) → 4A2(4F) zero-phonon transition. From the excitation and photoacoustic absorption spectra, we can determine the crystal-field (Dq) and Racah (B and C) parameters for the three existing phases in the sample. The ratio Dq/B for Cr3+ ions in the Sr3Al2O6 indicates that the action of the crystal-field on to Cr3+ ions is relatively strong.
