Luminescence spectra of doped and undoped lead tungstate crystals

TL spectra of undoped lead tungstate crystals exhibit glow peaks at 30 v K and 85 v K centred at 440 v nm, plus a peak at 50 v K at 530 v nm in an annealed sample. Annealing adds a 170 v K peak. Trivalent dopants of La 3+ and Y 3+ reduce the green luminescence, and Nb 5+ introduces a peak near 100 v K centred at 530 v nm; Sb introduces features between 40 v K and 90 v K and 150 and 180 v K. The luminescence emissions around 50 v K may be attributed to complex intrinsic defect centres, including (WO 4 ) m 3 . Of the four dopants studied in the present research, Sb +5 has the highest luminescence intensity. CL spectra show interesting anomalies near 170 v K which are linked to a phase change of water/ice nanoparticles trapped at dislocations.     

Defect assisted intrinsic luminescence in Al2O3 crystals

Abstract

The origin of the luminescence bands at 7.5 eV anv 3.8 eV appearing additionaly to the luminescence of F- and F⁺- centres in pure Al₂O₃ are investigated. The time - resolved luminescence spectra, absorption and luminescence excitation spectra as well as trap spectroscopy data depending on deviation from the stochiometry of crystals are discussed in terms of self - trapping of excitons in two configurations. The role of defects due to annihilation of excitons is considered.     

Lead tungstate single crystal scintillators

In this paper we report on the growth, luminescence and scintillation parameters of lead tungstate (PbWO₄) single crystals and typical requirements on them, important for their application as scintillating medium for the electromagnetic calorimeter detector in a future generation of energy physics accelerators. Presented at the 6th Joint Seminar “Development of Materials Science in Research and Education”, Karlštejn, Czech Republic, 17–19 September 1996.     

Enhanced efficiency of doubly doped PbWO 4 scintillator

Radio-, photo- and thermo-luminescence were measured for two sets of PbWO 4 single crystal samples doubly doped with Mo and Nb 5+ /Ta 5+ ions. Pentavalent ion codoping of PbWO 4 :Mo enhances the radioluminescence intensity to the level exceeding that of BGO scintillator. However, it introduces a new trapping level, which is reflected by the intense thermoluminescence-glow-curve peak around 100 v K. This trapping center is probably responsible for the increased occurrence of slow decay components in such doubly doped PbWO 4 .

Exited states of the luminescence centers in tungstate crystals

The electronic structures of luminescence centers in ZnWO₄, ZnWO₄:Mo, and ZnWO₄:Cd crystals are calculated by the configuration interaction method using embedded cluster approach. Dependencies of energies of the ground and excited electronic states of the centers on vibration coordinates are computed. The energies and oscillator strengths of radiative transitions in the luminescence centers of regular and doped zinc tungstate crystals are obtained. Formation of emission spectra of ZnWO₄, ZnMoO₄, and CdWO₄ are analyzed using results of the calculations.     

Iron-related luminescence centers in ZnWO 4 :Fe

A systematic spectroscopic study of single ZnWO 4 :Fe crystals with different iron concentrations has been performed under excitation by ultraviolet light, by synchrotron radiation or under photostimulation by near-infrared light. The luminescence of Fe 3+ -related centres has been studied. It is shown that iron centres of different types efficiently promote the formation of crystal defects at low temperatures. Electrons and holes can be trapped near Fe 2+ or Fe 3+ ions, which is further revealed in phosphorescence, thermostimulated or photostimulated luminescence. At room temperature the main effect of iron impurity is to reduce the light yield of a ZnWO 4 scintillator.     

Luminescence properties of calcium-iodide crystals

The effect of the conditions of preparation, temperature, and the action of x rays on the luminescence properties of calcium-iodide scintillation crystals is investigated. On the basis of the results of a study of the spectral characteristics of CaI₂ and CaI₂:H₂ crystals for optical and x-ray excitation in the temperature range 90–400 K, also taking into account the results of a study of the luminescence properties of CaI₂ crystals activated by Cl⁻, Br⁻, OH⁻, and Ca²⁺ impurities, it is suggested that the 236-nm band observed in the excitation spectra of crystals of calcium iodide may be caused by an uncontrollable hydrogen impurity. The luminescence of these crystals with maximum at 395 nm is ascribed to radiative recombination of excitons trapped at H⁻ ions. Zh. Tekh. Fiz. 69, 135–136 (January 1999)     

Broadband coherent light generation in a Raman-active crystal driven by two-color femtosecond laser pulses

We demonstrate broadband light generation by focusing two-color ultrashort laser pulses into a Raman-active crystal, lead tungstate (PbWO(4)). As many as 20 anti-Stokes and 2 Stokes fields are generated due to strong near-resonant excitation of a Raman transition. The generated spectrum extends from the infrared, through the visible region, to the ultraviolet, and it consists of discrete spatially separated sidebands. Our measurements confirm good mutual spatial and temporal coherence among the generated fields and open possibilities for synthesis of subfemtosecond light waveforms.     

On the intrinsic nature of the blue luminescence in CaWO4

Luminescence and thermoluminescence properties of nominally pure LiF and CaWO₄ crystals are compared with those of the crystalline system LiF/CaWO₄. Evidence is found which clearly indicates that from the various emission bands of CaWO₄ crystals only the blue one is of intrinsic nature. Luminescence decay measurements are reported. Within the spectral range of the blue tungstate band in LiF/CaWO₄ four different decay times are obtained. This result is interpreted as arising from WO^2-₄ luminescence centres with different environments in the LiF host.     

Thermoactivated spectroscopy of heterovalent impurity traps in CdWO4

Abstract

Recombination luminescence emission spectra, TSL and trap spectra estimated by fractional glow technique (FGT), in nominally pure and Li-, Bi- and Ho-doped CdWO₄, crystals are reported. According to the investigations by FGT heterovalent impurities Li, Bi and Ho causes localized electronic states which act as traps for charge carriers. It is shown that TSL results in emission of known blue-green luminescence band by emptying of the Li⁺-related traps in CdWO₄-Li and yellow luminescence band by emptying of the Bi³⁺-related traps in CdWO₄-Bi. It is proposed that blue-green and yellow luminescence occur by recombination correspondingly of free holes and free electrons at different intrinsic tungstate group related luminescence centers.

Relaxation of electronic excitations in strontium titanate

The transient absorption spectra and kinetics were studied for undoped, lead doped and high purity SrTiO 3 single crystals. The pulsed electron beam induced transient absorption is studied in all crystals. The strong absorption at 0.8 v eV was observed only in high purity SrTiO 3 . This absorption is suggested to arise from intrinsic electron polaron. The bound electron polarons are likely responsible for absorption band at 1.4 v eV. The main luminescence band under excitation pulse is observed at 2.75 v eV. The luminescence decay is faster than that of transient absorption.     

Optical and luminescence properties of CdWO4 and CdWO4:Mo single crystals

Luminescence properties of a pure CdWO₄ crystal and a CdWO₄:Mo crystal doped with molybdenum in different concentrations have been investigated. The effect of molybdenum impurity on the intrinsic luminescence of CdWO₄ has been found, and the role of the impurity in the formation of new luminescence centers has been investigated. The features of the formation of the intrinsic and impurity luminescence excitation spectra of CdWO₄ and CdWO₄:Mo crystals in the fundamental-absorption region have been considered. The reflection spectra of the CdWO₄ crystal have been investigated taking into account the crystal structure anisotropy.     

Temperature dependence of radiation hardness of lead tungstate (PWO) scintillation crystals

Influence of irradiation on the light yield of PWO (lead tungstate, PbWO₄) scintillation crystals was studied in the temperature range from ?25 °C to +60 °C. Light output and optical transmittance were simultaneously measured as a function of time under irradiation in PWO single crystals grown in first and second recrystallization cycle of raw material, doped with different lanthanides and annealed in different conditions. Increased sensitivity to irradiation and slower recovery of the initial light yield were observed at decreased temperatures. The model of tungsten oxide clusters in a regular PWO lattice is used to interpret the experimental results, and dynamics of the light yield under irradiation at different temperatures are qualitatively explained using rate equations describing composition changes in the clusters.     

First-principles study on the effect of the interstitial oxygen ion on the spectral properties of PWO crystal and the origin of the green luminescence band

The electronic structures and absorption spectra of PWO crystals containing interstitial oxygen ions have been calculated using density functional theory code CASTEP with lattice structure optimized. It is shown by calculation that: (1) the interstitial oxygen ion in the perfect PWO crystal doesn’t bring any obvious absorption in the visible region; (2) the green emission of lead tungstate origin is closely related to the interstitial oxygen ion, and probably originates from the center of “ WO₄+O_i”.
