We have achieved Sc2+ concentrations as high as 3 × 1018 cm−3 without degradation of optical quality. We have converted as much as 5% of the scandium dopant to the divalent state. The concentration of divalent scandium is stable during room temperature storage for periods of at least one year. Copyright © Materials Research Society 1998 Marquardt C. L.
