Plasma Polarization Around Dust Particle in an External Electric Field

The effect of plasma polarization around a negatively charged dust particle is investigated with the help of Monte Carlo simulation of ion trajectories in the electric field of the dust particle and an external electric field. The induced dipole moment of such a system was estimated in a wide range of dust particle and plasma parameters. It is shown that the dipole moment is very large, and has a non‐monotonous dependence on the external electric field. For a small external electric field, it weakly depends on the charge of the dust particle. The dipole moment reduces with the decrease of ion mean free path (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Spectroscopical splitting of Cu ion energy levels in magnesium lead fluoro silicate glasses

Homogeneous 40.0 MgO-(10-x) PbF₂-50.0 SiO₂: x CuO glasses were prepared using melt-quenching technique under controlled conditions. Spectroscopic studies (UV-vis absorption, ESR, FT-IR) are carried out for these glasses. One broad characteristic visible absorption band is observed around 700-850 nm in these glasses, the optical band gap decreases as the content of the CuO increases in the glass network up to 0.7 mol % then reversal trend is observed. ESR spectra of all these glasses show resonance peaks characteristic of Cu²⁺ ions and hyperfine splitting is resolved with increasing the CuO content in the glass network. From the observed ESR spectra, the spin-Hamiltonian parameters have been evaluated and indicate that Cu²⁺ ions have octahedral coordination with a strong tetragonal distortion in these glasses. By correlating ESR and optical absorption data, the molecular orbital coefficients have been evaluated. FT-IR spectra give important information about the nature of bonds in the glass matrix. The density of the glasses is also measured and is found to decrease with the increase CuO contents in the glass matrix. The physical parameters along with spectroscopic parameters are measured.     

Spectral studies of Erbium doped heavy metal borophosphate glass systems

The ternary lead bismuth magnesium borophosphate glass system (LBMBPE) with molar concentrations of (50-x) PbO-xBi₂O₃-25MgHPO₄-24B₂O₃-1Er₂O₃ (x=10, 20, 30 and 40) was prepared using Melt quenching technique. The amorphous nature of these glass samples were confirmed with XRD studies, The spectral data from the optical absorption studies was employed to compute the spectroscopic parameters such as Racah coefficients (E¹, E² and E³), spin-orbit coupling (ξ_4f), configuration interaction factor (α) and Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters (Ω_λ, λ=2, 4 and 6). The IR spectra exhibit the presence of vibrational modes of phosphates, borate radicals, bismuth, lead and magnesium ions. The Judd-Ofelt parameterization indicates the covalency and vibrationonic frequencies of the ligands with rare earth ions. The radiative parameters such as radiative transition probabilities (A), the total radiative transitional probabilities (A_T), radiative life times (τ_R), branching ratios (β) and absorption cross sections (∑) were computed for certain lasing levels. The effect of compositional changes on the optical band gap is also reported. The glass systems thus developed indicate their potential lasing candidature.     

Influence of ligand coordination of cobalt ions on structural properties of ZnO-ZnF2-B2O3 glass system by means of spectroscopic studies

The glasses of the composition 10ZnO-30ZnF₂-60B₂O₃ doped with different concentrations of CoO were prepared. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) studies, optical absorption, photoluminescence and infrared spectra of these glasses have been carried out. DSC studies have indicated that the resistance of the glass against devitrification increases with the increase in the concentration of CoO. Optical absorption spectra have exhibited one octahedral band due to ⁴T_1g(F)→²T_1g(H) and two tetrahedral bands due to ⁴A₂(⁴F)→⁴T₁(⁴P) ⁴A₂(⁴F)→⁴T₁(⁴F) transitions of Co²⁺ ions at about 525, 570 and 1400 nm, respectively. As the concentration of CoO is increased the tetrahedral bands are observed to grow at the expense of octahedral band. The luminescence spectra have exhibited two emission bands in the spectral regions of 600-700 nm and 800-900 nm due to ⁴T₁(⁴P)→⁴A₂(⁴F) and ⁴T₁(⁴P)→⁴T₂(⁴F) tetrahedral transitions of Co²⁺ ions, respectively. With the increasing content of cobalt ions in the glass matrix, the half width and intensity of these bands are observed to increase. The analysis of the results of these two spectra coupled with IR spectra has indicated that as the concentration of CoO is increased in the glass matrix, the tetrahedral occupancy of cobalt ions dominates over the octahedral occupancy and increase the rigidity of the glass network.     

EPR and photoluminescence properties of green light emitting LaAl11O18:Mn phosphors

The LaAl₁₁O₁₈:Mn²⁺ powder phosphor has been prepared using a self-propagating synthesis. Formation and homogeneity of the LaAl₁₁O₁₈:Mn²⁺ phosphor has been verified by X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray analysis respectively. The EPR spectra of Mn²⁺ ions exhibit resonance signals with effective g values at g≈4.8 and g≈1.978. The signal at g≈1.978 exhibits six-line hyperfine structure and is due to Mn²⁺ ions in an environment close to tetrahedral symmetry, whereas the resonance at g≈4.8 is attributed to the rhombic surroundings of the Mn²⁺ ions. It is observed that the number of spins participating in resonance for g≈1.978 increases with decreasing temperature obeying the Boltzmann law. Upon 451 nm excitation, the photoluminescence spectrum exhibits a green emission peak at 514 nm due to ⁴T₁ (G)→⁶A₁ (S) transition of Mn²⁺ ions. The crystal field parameter Dq and Racah inter-electronic repulsion parameters B and C have been evaluated from the excitation spectrum.

掺Bi离子锗铌酸盐红外发光玻璃的研究

用高温熔融法制备了Bi₂O₃掺杂的(0.9-x) GeO₂-xNb₂O₅-0.1BaO (含量x为摩尔分数, x=0, 0.04, 0.07, 0.1)系列玻璃. 测定了玻璃样品的差热分析(DTA)曲线、吸收光谱、发射光谱及X射线光电子能谱(XPS). 从DTA曲线分析得到玻璃的结晶起始温度与软化温度之差(T_x-T_g)达200℃以上. 吸收光谱中可观察到位于500, 700, 808和1000 nm处的吸收峰, 并随着Nb₂O₅含量x的增加吸收边带发生红移. 在波长为808 nm激光激发下, 观察到发光中心位于1300 nm处、荧光光谱半高宽约为200 nm的宽带发光. 荧光强度随Bi₂O₃掺杂量δ的增加先增强后减弱, 当掺杂量δ达到约0.01时, 荧光强度达到最强. 随着Nb₂O₅含量x从0.04增加到0.1时, 荧光强度逐步减弱. 样品的XPS峰分别位于159.6和164.7 eV, 它们介于Bi³⁺与Bi⁵⁺的特征结合能之间, 因此Bi³⁺与Bi⁵⁺可能同时存在于玻璃基质中. 从XPS及Bi离子的发光特性推断, 宽带的荧光发射可能起因于Bi⁵⁺. 随着Nb₂O₅含量x的增加, 荧光强度逐步减弱. 分析认为, Nb₂O₅取代GeO₂后形成了NbGe缺陷, 需要低价Bi离子进行电子补偿, 因而抑制了Bi⁵⁺形成, 致使荧光强度减弱.
