Comparative investigation of up-conversion luminescence in Tm-doped oxide-chloride germanate and tellurite glasses

Tm³⁺-doped oxide-chloride germanate and tellurite glasses have been synthesized by conventional melting method. Intense up-conversion luminescence emissions were simultaneously observed at room temperature in these glasses. The possible up-conversion mechanisms are discussed and estimated. However, in these Tm³⁺-doped glasses, tellurite glass showed weaker up-conversion emissions than germanate glass, which is inconsistent with the prediction from the difference of maximum phonon energy between tellurite and germanate glasses. In this paper, Raman spectroscopy was employed to investigate the origin of the difference in up-conversion luminescence in the two glasses. Our results confirm that, besides the maximum phonon energy, the phonon density of host glasses is also an important factor in determining the up-conversion efficiency.

A diode-pumped solid-state Cr4+:Nd:YAG/KTP green laser with intracavity second harmonic generation is reported. Stable quasi-cw output of 1.03 W in average power, 100 kHz of repetition rate and about 25 ns of pulse width were obtained. Repetition rate and pulse width were studied experimentally and analyzed under different conditions.     

Hyperon beta-decay and axial charges of the lambda in view of strongly distorted baryon wave-functions

Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave-functions while the charge operators maintain a symmetric structure. Sizable symmetry breaking in the wave-functions is required to reproduce the observed spacing in the spectrum of the  baryons. The matrix elements of the flavor symmetric charge operators nevertheless yield g_A/g_V ratios for hyperon beta-decay which agree with the empirical data approximately as well as the successful F&D parameterization of the Cabibbo scheme. Demanding the strangeness component in the nucleon to vanish in the two flavor limit of the model, determines the structure of the singlet axial charge operator and yields the various quark flavor components of the axial charge of the Λ-hyperon. The suggested picture gains support from calculations in a realistic model using pion and vector meson degrees of freedom to build up the soliton.

ChemInform Abstract: The Crystal Structures of m,o‐Ce3Pt4Sn6 and Ce1‐xPt6Al13+2x.

Single crystals of Ce₃Pt₄Sn₆ (I) and Ce_1‐xPt₆Al_13+2x (x = 0.207, (II)) are isolated by mechanical fragmentation of specimens grown from self‐fluxes (Sn or Al, resp.) by slow cooling from the melt.     

高掺杂Ce,Gd(Y_(3-x-y)Ce_xGd_y)Al_5O_(12)荧光粉的发光下降及温度猝灭特性

采用高温固相法分别合成了不同Ce浓度掺杂的和固定Ce浓度为0.06不同Gd浓度掺杂的Y3Al5O12(YAG)系列荧光粉,通过测量其激发、发射光谱、漫反射光谱、荧光寿命和变温发射光谱,研究了掺杂元素的浓度对荧光粉发光性能的影响以及荧光粉发光的温度猝灭性质。研究结果表明:荧光粉发光强度随着Ce3+掺杂浓度和Gd3+掺杂浓度的提高均呈下降趋势。分析发现,荧光粉发光强度下降并非主要由浓度猝灭所引起,而是由于高浓度掺杂下发生YAG基质与Ce3+对激发光的竞争吸收,导致Ce3+对激发光的吸收量减少,从而影响发光强度。温度实验表明,随着温度的升高,荧光粉发光强度下降。Ce含量的改变对YAG:Ce荧光粉的热猝灭性质影响较小,Gd的掺杂使荧光粉的发射波长向长波方向移动,同时热猝灭现象严重。     

Ce掺杂K_2La_2Ti_3O_(10)催化剂的可见光高效催化制氢的研究

采用高温固相法合成了铈掺杂的K2La2Ti3O10催化剂,利用X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外-可见漫反射(UV-visDRS)、透射电镜(TEM)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对催化剂进行了表征.考察了催化剂的可见光催化分解甲醇水溶液制氢的活性,并对可见光催化机理进行了分析.研究表明,铈的掺杂没有改变K2La2Ti3O10的微晶结构,并使催化剂粒径有所减小.紫外可见漫反射分析表明禁带宽度为2.3eV左右,对可见光具有较高吸收.XPS表明La和Ti为+3和+4价,而Ce则是+3和+4的混合价态.担载2wt%Pt后,在可见光下光催化活性大大提高,当铈的掺杂量为0.5mol%(即Ce取代La的摩尔百分量)时,光催化活性达到最大,产氢速率为0.05mmol/h;光照5h后产氢量为0.22mmol,而纯K2La2Ti3O10的产氢量只有0.037mmol.     

Crystallization of niobium germanosilicate glasses

Niobium germanosilicate glasses are potential candidates for the fabrication of transparent glass ceramics with interesting non-linear optical properties. A series of glasses in the (Ge,Si)O₂-Nb₂O₅-K₂O system were prepared by melting and casting and their characteristic temperatures were determined by differential thermal analysis. Progressive replacement of GeO₂ by SiO₂ improved the thermal stability of the glasses. Depending on the composition and the crystallization heat-treatment, different nanocrystalline phases—KNbSi₂O₇, K₃Nb₃Si₂O₁₃ and K_3.8Nb₅Ge₃O_20.4 could be obtained. The identification and characterization of these phases were performed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.The 40 GeO₂-10 SiO₂-25 Nb₂O₅-25 K₂O (mol%) composition presented the higher ability for volume crystallization and its nucleation temperature was determined by the Marotta's method. An activation energy for crystal growth of ∼529 kJ/mol and a nucleation rate of 9.7×10¹⁸ m⁻³ s⁻¹ was obtained, for this composition. Transparent glass ceramics with a crystalline volume fraction of ∼57% were obtained after a 2 h heat-treatment at the nucleation temperature, with crystallite sizes of ∼20 nm as determined by transmission electron microscopy.     

铈锰氧化物对二氯甲烷催化氧化性能的研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了系列Ce1-xMnxO2催化剂,运用BET,XRD,Raman,XPS和H2-TPR等方法对催化剂进行了表征。并考察了催化剂对CH2C l2催化氧化的性能。XRD结果表明,催化剂中Ce的加入可以有效抑制催化剂晶粒变大,且有部分Mn离子进入CeO2骨架中形成了固溶体;而XPS结果表明,催化剂中Mn物种以+3和+4价存在。H2-TPR结果表明,催化剂中Ce的加入降低了MnOx中晶格氧的还原温度。反应活性结果表明,Ce1-xMnxO2系列催化剂较纯CeO2,MnOx催化活性好,其本征活性顺序为Ce0.8Mn0.2O2Ce0.6Mn0.4O2Ce0.5Mn0.5O2Ce0.4Mn0.6O2Ce0.2Mn0.8O2CeO2MnOx。这可能是由于Ce的添加提高了催化剂中MnOx晶格氧的活泼程度,进而影响反应性能。     

Ce1-xFexO2复合氧化物的结构及其催化碳烟低温燃烧性能

用水热法制备了不同摩尔比的系列Ce1-xFexO2复合氧化物碳烟燃烧催化剂. 采用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、比表面积(BET)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、H2程序升温还原(H2-TPR)及程序升温氧化反应(TPO)等技术考察了Fe含量对催化剂结构和性能的影响, 重点探讨了催化剂表面性质和体相结构与催化活性和稳定性之间的关系. 结果表明, Fe3+较难进入CeO2晶格中, 部分Fe2O3分散在CeO2表面. 铈铁固溶体(氧空位)有利于氧的吸附活化, 而表面氧化铁对提高催化剂的抗老化能力起着重要作用. Ce0.8Fe0.2O2有最高的Fe3+掺杂量, 有良好分散性的表面Fe2O3, 显示出最好的催化活性和稳定性, 催化碳烟的起燃温度(Ti)和生成CO2的峰值温度(Tp)分别为262和314 ℃. Ce0.8Fe0.2O2高温老化后的Ti和Tp仍较低, 分别为292和392 ℃.
