Abstract

In this paper, we report the measurements of the specific heat, the density and the thermal diffusivity at room and cryogenic temperatures of Ytterbium doped cubic sesquioxides (Sc₂O₃, Y₂O₃, Lu₂O₃) ceramics and of Ytterbium doped crystals (YAG, CaF₂). These materials appear to have very interesting properties for setting up high average power laser chains useful for plasma physics and for inertial fusion energy drivers.
