We report the luminescence properties and decay profiles of Ce:YAlO_3,Mn:YAlO_3,and Ce,Mn:YAlO_3 crystals grown by Czochralski method.The spectroscopic properties show that both Mn~(2+) ions and Mn~(4+) ions exist in Mn:YAlO_3 and Ce,Mn:YAlO_3 crystals.The Mn~(2+) ions have a broad emission band of 60 nm in Mn-doped YAlO_3 crystal at 530 nm.The luminescence spectra also indicate that there is significant energy transfer between Ce~(3+) and Mn~(4+) in Ce,Mn:YAlO_3 crystal.Because of the energy transfer,th...
