Luminescence and a New Approach for Detecting Heat Treatment of Sapphire
Abstract. For decades, unravelling heat treatment of sapphire has been a challenging issue. The present study offers new aspects that support the detection of heat treatment of sapphire. Natural unheated sapphire is distinguishable from heated sapphire by its orange to red luminescence under long-wave ultraviolet (LWUV, 365 nm) light, whereas blue luminescence under short-wave ultraviolet (SWUV, 254 nm) light indicates their heated counterparts. UV-excited photoluminescence shows a linkage between a broad emission spectrum within the orange to red region and orange to red luminescence of natural unheated sapphire under LWUV illumination, as well as an emission spectrum around the green region and blue luminescence of heated sapphire under SWUV illumination. Furthermore, the presence of melt inclusions within dissolved silks may be used as an indicator of heat treatment of sapphire. It seems that Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy alone is inadequate for distinguishing unheated and heated sapphire. The application of orange to red, and blue luminescence together with melt inclusions offer a novel and practicable procedure for more precise differentiation of unheated versus heated sapphire.
期刊介绍:
Solid Earth (SE) is a not-for-profit journal that publishes multidisciplinary research on the composition, structure, dynamics of the Earth from the surface to the deep interior at all spatial and temporal scales. The journal invites contributions encompassing observational, experimental, and theoretical investigations in the form of short communications, research articles, method articles, review articles, and discussion and commentaries on all aspects of the solid Earth (for details see manuscript types). Being interdisciplinary in scope, SE covers the following disciplines:
geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, volcanology;
geodesy and gravity;
geodynamics: numerical and analogue modeling of geoprocesses;
geoelectrics and electromagnetics;
geomagnetism;
geomorphology, morphotectonics, and paleoseismology;
rock physics;
seismics and seismology;
critical zone science (Earth''s permeable near-surface layer);
stratigraphy, sedimentology, and palaeontology;
rock deformation, structural geology, and tectonics.
