Abstract
Recently, photoluminescence tomography based on the confocal laser scanning microscopy with two-photon excitation has been developed to study the distribution of point and extended defects in the bulk of ZnSe laser crystals. This article presents the use of the tomography to investigate luminescent micro inclusions in transparent amorphous media such as silicate glass. Studies of CdZnSSe crystals synthesized in a silicate glass melt have been carried out using the tomography with both two-photon and single-photon excitation of luminescence. Zn-rich glass manufactured in the 19th century has been found to contain micron-sized crystals of CdZnSSe (, ) of hexagonal crystal system exhibiting intense photoluminescence. The photoluminescence band of these crystals has been found to peak at about 2.1 eV () at 300 K. Minor shifts in the maximum of bands and changes in their shape in individual crystals or at tomogram points within the crystal are associated with variations in their composition. Changes in the photoluminescence band shape and maximum due to the excitation of luminescence in CdZnSSe crystallites by laser radiation of different energies have also been observed in this study.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
