The X-ray storage phosphor materials BaFC1 and BaFBr differ greatly in their 137Ba nuclear electric quadrupole interaction, despite a common crystal structure. The quadrupole coupling constant in BaFCl is relatively small and increases rapidly with temperature, in an unusual manner:

We report laser-induced cooling with thulium-doped BaY2F8 single crystals grown using the Czochralski technique. The spectroscopic characterization of the crystals has been used to evaluate the laser cooling performance of the samples. Cooling by 3 degrees below ambient temperature is
