Popis: TM‐doped BaYYbF8 films were epitaxially grown on both (100) and (111) GaAs substrates using CaF2 or LiF as intermediate layers. The BaYYbF8 phase was found to be a previously unreported cubic phase with a lattice constant of 0.5711 nm, which is different from a monoclinic phase reported for bulk crystals. The films produced UV and visible radiation with wavelengths at 360 nm (UV), 450–480 nm (blue), and 500–550 nm (green) when pumped by laser radiation at 647 nm.
