conductivity of β-Ga 2 O 3: Cr and β-Ga 2 O 3: Cr, Mg single crystals were studied. The as-
grown β-Ga 2 O 3: Cr crystals had a green color, the conductivity at about 10− 2–10− 3 Ω− 1
cm− 1, and a low yield of Cr 3+ impurity luminescence. Annealing in oxygen atmosphere led
to a strong increase in Cr 3+ red luminescence yield, increase in the resistivity, and changes
in the absorption and excitation spectra. Similarly, increases in the Cr 3+ luminescence yield …
