Optical properties of novel Er3+-doped, Er3+/Yb3+ and Er3+/Tm3+ co-doped and Er3+/Tm3+/Yb3+ tri-doped bismuth-germanate glasses were fabricated. Thermal characterization by differential scanning calorimetry showed the suitability of the glass for fiber drawing. Tri-doped sample presented a broadband luminescence spectrum ranging from 1450 to 2100 nm when it was excited by 980 and 1480 nm laser diodes. Energy transfer mechanisms from the donor (Yb3+, Er3+) to acceptor (Er3+, Tm3+) ions were found out to be the cause of the intense luminescence with broad bandwidth which can be tailored through doping content and concentration. It was observed that the Tm3+ addition helps broadening the luminescence spectrum, while the Yb3+ incorporation enhances the emission intensity. This study provides insightful contributions to the possibility of signal amplification in L + U-bands and beyond, up to 2100 nm.

Research on the sensitivity of temperature measurements and optical thermometry involving rare earth ions has been an area of interest in the field of photonics and materials science. Introducing polymer networks as a new host material has an important role due to their properties including a versatile and stable environment for rare earth ions and rapid response in temperature detection. In this work, linear and crosslinked polyethylmethacrylate (PEMA) networks doped with Er3+/Yb3+ (1.5 mol % Er3+, 2 mol% Yb3+) synthesized by free-radical crosslinking polymerization with 0.1 EMA (weight %) at 60 °C were used to investigate direct and indirect optical bandgap energies and Urbach energy from UV–Visible spectra. The Judd-Ofelt (JO) approach was employed to analyze parameters Ωt (t = 2,4,6), spontaneous transition probabilities (Α), branching ratios (β) and radiative lifetimes (τ) as a function of linear and crosslinked PEMA doped nano-crystalline CdNb2O6: Er3+/Yb3+. The stimulated emission cross-sections of the transitions 2H11/2⟶4I15/2, 2S3/2⟶4I15/2 and 2F9/2⟶4I15/2 of Er3+/Yb3+ were calculated by two different methods; Fuchtbauer-Ladenburg formula and modified theory, respectively. The gain bandwidth cross-section product for the 2H11/2⟶4I15/2 was found to be 162.06. , 260.94. and 461.20. of Er3+/Yb3+ embedded in linear, low and high crosslinked PEMA samples, respectively. JO parameters and stimulated emission cross-sections increased; therefore, radiative lifetimes decreased by increasing crosslinking content. In addition, the temperature dependence of upconversion (UC) luminescence was monitored under 975 nm excitation. The fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) method examined the temperature sensing under two thermally coupled levels at 525 and 548 nm. The maximum sensitivities obtained from the FIR technique within the 300–650 K temperature range shifted to lower temperatures with increasing crosslinker content. Hence, linear and crosslinked polymer hosts doped rare-earth ions can be candidates for remote temperature sensors across various fields.

Structural and optical properties of Ce-stabilized tetragonal zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and intense blue emission of monoclinic ZrO2 are presented in this paper. Nanoparticles of ZrO2 in the stabilized tetragonal and monoclinic phases have been prepared by the solution combustion method. X-ray diffraction studies and Rietveld refinement of the diffraction pattern show the stabilization of ZrO2 in the tetragonal phase (t-ZrO2) with Ce doping. It is the host-dopant ionic size mismatch that leads to lattice distortion and hence the t-ZrO2 stabilized phase. Raman modes confirm the phase transformation from the monoclinic to a tetragonal phase of ZrO2. The presence of oxygen vacancies and surface states in the samples play a role in altering the optical band gap. The dopant Ce-ions create defects/oxygen vacancies, which act as the trapping sites for electrons and holes/the donor and vacancy-related impurity levels. It is transition between these levels or between delocalized conduction bands that lead to band gap reduction. Photoluminescence studies reveal the presence of structural phase transformation dependent emission bands. The monoclinic phase (m-ZrO2) exhibits an intense blue emission originating from the asymmetric and unusual oxygen coordination of Zr in the m-ZrO2. The chromaticity coordinates indicate that the prepared material and adopted strategies are suitable in the field of optoelectronic application.
本文介绍了铈稳定四方二氧化锆(ZrO2)的结构和光学特性以及单斜二氧化锆的强烈蓝光发射。本文采用溶液燃烧法制备了稳定的四方和单斜二氧化锆纳米粒子。X 射线衍射研究和衍射图样的里特维尔德细化表明,在掺入 Ce 后,ZrO2 稳定在四方相(t-ZrO2)。主掺杂离子尺寸失配导致了晶格畸变,从而形成了 t-ZrO2 稳定相。拉曼模式证实了 ZrO2 从单斜相到四方相的相变。样品中氧空位和表面态的存在改变了光带隙。掺杂的 Ce 离子会产生缺陷/氧空位,这些缺陷/氧空位是电子和空穴/供体和空位相关杂质水平的捕获点。正是这些层次之间或脱位导带之间的转变导致了带隙的减小。光致发光研究揭示了与结构相变相关的发射带的存在。单斜相(m-ZrO2)显示出强烈的蓝色发射,这是由于 m-ZrO2 中 Zr 的氧配位不对称且不寻常。色度坐标表明,制备的材料和采用的策略适合光电应用领域。

The intense green and red emission of terbium and europium oxalates are attributed to the cross-relaxation process between lanthanide ions. However, the role of the organic ligand as a sensitizing agent for the emission has not been fully elucidated, leaving the photoluminescent (PL) properties relatively unexplored. This work presents a comprehensive study of the Ligand-to-Metal Energy Transfer (LMET) in terbium and europium oxalates heptahydrate. Single crystals were grown using the hydro-silica gel technique, and a novel improvement of the synthesis procedure which allowed growing substantially larger europium oxalate crystals than in previous studies in the field is also reported. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed the chemical composition RE2(C2O4)3⋅7H2O. PL studies provided reliable evidence of a sensitized emission via the antenna effect, indicating that the LMET contributes to the population of the 5Dj emissive levels of Ln3+ ions, assisting the cross-relaxation process. These findings enhance our understanding of the PL properties of terbium and europium oxalates and demonstrate that the oxalate ligand is a more effective luminescent sensitizer for Tb3+ ions than for Eu3+ ions. Additionally, PL excitation studies on terbium and europium oxalate decahydrate crystals were conducted to contrast the emission properties between both forms of hydrate oxalates. Notably, terbium oxalate heptahydrate crystals exhibit a significant improvement in the Charge Transfer (CT) due to higher intramolecular charge transfer.

A series of 1.5–3.5 mol% B2O3-doped SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ single crystals were successfully grown by the optical floating zone method for the first time. XRD and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the samples were monoclinic, with good crystallinity and no phase transition. The cell refinement results indicate that the cell volume decreases with B3+ ions. The intensities of both the excitation and emission characteristics of the crystal samples were enhanced after the incorporation of B3+, surpassing those observed in pure SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ crystals. This enhancement is attributed to the facilitated entry of Eu2+ into the lattice upon B3+ addition, resulting in an increased number of 4f65 d1-4f7 charge transfer transitions. Long afterglow lifetime spectra disclosed that samples with 3 mol% B2O3 concentration achieved the longest afterglow duration, extending up to 139 s, whereas samples lacking B2O3 lasted 34 s. Thermoluminescence analysis showed that defect concentration escalated with B3+ concentration increments, reaching a maximum at the 3 mol% B2O3, beyond which it declined. Finally, the long afterglow luminescence mechanism proposed by Dorenbos is further explained and confirmed. It is concluded that B3+ doping increases the defect concentration by altering the crystal's microstructure, which in turn enhances both the luminescence performance and the long afterglow performance of the SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ single crystal.

Zero-dimensional tin-based halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for optoelectronic applications owing to their outstanding optical properties. However, improving their PL efficiency and stability remains a significant challenge. Here, we demonstrate a novel codoping strategy by introducing Mn2+/Sb3+ ions to enhance both the PL intensity and thermal stability of Cs4SnBr6 perovskites. Our experiments reveal that Mn2+/Sb3+ incorporation increases light emission from self-trapped excitons (STEs) in Cs4SnBr6, achieving a PL quantum yield of approximately 67.7 %. Additionally, the doped samples show remarkable thermal stability. Detailed analyses, including X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, time-resolved PL, and temperature-dependent PL, suggest that the improved emission is driven by Mn2+/Sb3+-induced distortion of the [SnBr6]4- octahedra, which strengthens electron-phonon coupling and increases STE binding energy.

There is urgent need of thermally stable phosphors for fabricating high-performance white light emitting diodes (LEDs). In this paper, Sr2SiO4:0.02Ce3+,xDy3+, (0.02+x)Na+ phosphors were successfully synthesized by the solid-state reaction method and their luminescence properties were studied. Phase analysis shows that single-phasic α-Sr2SiO4 was prepared when x was greater than 0.006, while a mixed phase of α-Sr2SiO4 and β-Sr2SiO4 were obtained in the samples with x of 0.006 or less. When excited at 344 nm, there is a major emission band at 380–500 nm corresponding to the 5d-4f transition of Ce3+, and other emission peaks with a dominated one at 575 nm corresponding to the 4F9/2-6H13/2 transition of Dy3+. The as-developed Sr2SiO4:Ce3+,Dy3+,Na+ phosphors exhibit excellent thermal stability. To be specific, the intensity retention rate of 425 and 572 nm at 300 °C is as high as 103.6 % and 89.2 %, respectively. Furthermore, near-ultraviolet (nUV) chip-pumped white LED prototypes were assembled using the co-activated phosphor and commercial green and red phosphors, which demonstrate its great potential in high-power white LEDs for solid-state lighting applications.

The as-developed Sr<sub>2</sub>SiO<sub>4</sub>:Ce<sup>3+</sup>,Dy<sup>3+</sup>,Na<sup>+</sup> phosphors exhibit excellent thermal stability. To be specific, the intensity retention rate of 425 and 572 nm at 300 °C is as high as 103.6 % and 89.2 %, respectively. Furthermore, near-ultraviolet (nUV) chip-pumped white LED prototypes were assembled using the co-activated phosphor and commercial green and red phosphors, which demonstrate its great potential in high-power white LEDs for solid-state lighting applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16159,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Luminescence","volume":"277 ","pages":"Article 120931"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yb3+/Er3+/Dy3+ triply-doped CaYAlO4 single crystal was successfully grown to obtain the broadened and enhanced 3 μm MIR emission. The structure characters were studied by XRD measurement. The optical properties and energy transfer mechanism between Yb3+, Er3+, and Dy3+ were investigated according to the measured absorption spectra, emission spectra, and fluorescence decay curves. The absorption spectra show that the triply-doped crystal could be effective pumped by 980 nm due to the introduced of Yb3+ and Er3+. In comparison with Dy3+ singly-doped CaYAlO4 crystal, a broadened and enhanced ∼3 μm MIR emission with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 286 nm was obtained due to the fact that there exists effective energy transfer process from Yb3+ and Er3+ to Dy3+. For Yb3+, it serves as an effective sensitized ion. For Er3+, it could be not only used as an effective sensitized ion, but also as a 2.7 μm MIR emission center. For Dy3+, it serves as a deactivating ion to solve the self-termination “bottleneck” effect of Er3+, and more importantly, as an emission center to achieve 3 μm emission. The comprehensive effect is to obtain enhanced and broadened MIR emission in the triply-doped crystal. In addition, the corresponding energy transfer efficiency from Yb3+: 2F5/2 to Dy3+: 6H5/2 is as high as 90 %. Hence, the Yb3+/Er3+/Dy3+: CaYAlO4 crystal could be used as promising medium for MIR broadband tunable laser applications.

This theoretical study investigates the linear and nonlinear optical properties of zigzag carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silicene nanotubes (SiNTs) with varying radii, focusing on their behavior in the infrared and ultraviolet energy ranges. In the infrared region, absorption spectra exhibit several peaks resulting from allowed transitions between valence and conduction bands. The number of absorption peaks increases with radius for both nanotube types, with SiNTs showing peaks at lower energy ranges and higher intensities compared to CNTs. Conversely, CNTs display markedly higher absorption intensities in the ultraviolet region. The quadratic electronic optic (DC Kerr) effect reveals sharp peaks near the band gap with multiple sign changes, attributed to allowed optical transitions at band edges. The third-order optical susceptibility for both CNT and SiNT structures show several peaks below the band gap energy due to multiphoton resonance absorption. In the infrared region, two highest and lowest subbands near to the Fermi level play a dominant role in the peaks formation. The position and intensity of peaks demonstrate a strong dependence on nanotube radius and type with higher intensity for the SiNTs. The tunable nature of the optical properties of CNTs and SiNTs by their radius and the enhanced nonlinear optical response of SiNTs, characterized by lower energy peaks and higher intensities, show their significant potential for advanced applications in nonlinear optics, optical detection, and high-energy optical systems.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the use of green household wastes, such as lemon peel, bottle gourd peel (BG), culinary banana peel, and sugarcane bagasse, as a source for synthesizing carbon dots (C-dots) and to determine how the composition of the material affected the functional characteristics of the C-dots and its interaction behaviour for detection of pesticide. The synthesized C-dots showed green fluorescence with varying particle sizes and red shifting fluorescence with more than 100 nm Stokes shift, indicating time and excitation dependent luminescence behaviour. C-dots produced from bottle gourd (BG) peel had a positive impact on the functional characteristics with a maximum emission of 514 nm and excitation of 410 nm. The SAED and TEM pattern confirmed its amorphous structure. The hydronium ion diameter and the quantum yield were 0.99 nm and 3.1 % respectively. Contributing towards food safety, the synthesized C-dots from BG showed significant behaviour in the detection of parathion methyl (MP) like organophosphorus pesticide (OP) as it conjugated with iron and 1 ppm of parathion methyl, which exhibited “Turn-Off-On” fluorescence behaviour with noticeable changed in intensity and act as a promising qualitative tool for detection of parathion methyl in real sample. The intensity of FL and concentration of OP is directly proportional which is established by the investigated OP in vegetable, fruit and water samples. The significance of iron and MP-OP was also investigated in the presence of other metal ions and pesticides and showed that the C-dots synthesized probe solution was reliable and sensitive towards the detection of MP-OP in real samples.
本研究的目的是考察利用柠檬皮、瓶子瓜皮(BG)、食用香蕉皮和甘蔗渣等绿色家用废物作为合成碳点(C-dots)的来源,并确定材料的组成如何影响 C-dots的功能特性及其在检测杀虫剂方面的相互作用行为。合成的碳点在不同粒度下呈现绿色荧光,在超过 100 nm 的斯托克斯位移下呈现红色荧光,这表明发光行为与时间和激发有关。用瓶子瓜(BG)皮制备的 C 点对功能特性有积极影响,其最大发射波长为 514 nm,激发波长为 410 nm。SAED 和 TEM 图样证实了它的无定形结构。氢离子直径和量子产率分别为 0.99 nm 和 3.1 %。在食品安全方面,从 BG 中合成的 C 点在检测甲基对硫磷(MP)(如有机磷农药(OP))方面表现出显著的性能,因为它与铁和 1 ppm 的甲基对硫磷共轭,表现出 "关-开 "荧光行为,荧光强度发生了明显的变化,是检测实际样品中甲基对硫磷的一种有前途的定性工具。荧光强度与 OP 的浓度成正比,蔬菜、水果和水样中的 OP 调查证实了这一点。此外,还研究了铁和 MP-OP 在其他金属离子和农药存在下的重要性,结果表明 C 点合成的探针溶液对实际样品中 MP-OP 的检测是可靠和灵敏的。
