Popis: This work presents the investigation about the structural and optical properties of a doped-chromium system containing cordierite (Mg 2 Al 4 Si 5 O 18 ) as main phase. The sample composition and the structural data were obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements and the results were analyzed by Rietveld method. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra under several excitation wavelengths and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements were performed. The obtained results from PL and PLE experiments are evidences that Cr 3+ occupies octahedral sites in this ceramic system. By correlating the optical results, the crystal field parameter ( Dq ) and Racah interelectronic repulsion parameters ( B and C) were calculated and discussed according to the Tanabe-Sugano (TS) theory for d 3 transition metals in octahedral sites.
