Abstract

In this work we summarized thermal characteristics of YVO₄ with comparative study of GdVO₄ by using of carefully evaluated kappa, alpha, dn/dT, thermal heat capacity coefficient dC_p/dT, and thermal conductivity coefficient dkappa/dT. In conclusion, we summarized thermo-mechanical and -optical parameters of GdVO₄ and YVO₄, and we found that the performance of YVO₄ was thermally comparable to GdVO₄ from the discussion by using of the figures of merits as kappa/alpha and kappa/(dn/dT).
