Yb3+掺杂稀土钽铌酸盐的晶体场从头计算研究

Yb³⁺掺杂晶体材料是重要的激光材料,在超短脉冲激光、大功率激光等领域有重要应用前景,但长期以来很难通过实验拟合确定Yb3+晶体场参数,尤其是低对称体系,从头计算是解决此问题的重要途经.本文介绍了适合计算稀土离子掺杂晶体的从头计算DV-Xα方法和有效哈密顿量模型,用该方法计算了Yb³⁺掺杂M型和M'型钽铌酸盐的晶场参数和旋轨耦合参数,得到的能级结构和实验能很好地符合,并发现了Yb³⁺掺杂钽铌酸盐的晶场强度参数随稀土原子序数呈现规律变化.表明结合DV-Xα计算和有效哈密顿量方法是计算Yb³⁺掺杂低对称钽铌酸盐晶体场的有效途径,结果显示Yb3+掺杂钽铌酸盐晶体有望成为新型全固态激光工作物质.     

Structures and luminescence properties of Yb3＋ in the double perovskites Ba2YB＇O6 （B＇=Ta5＋, Nb5＋） phosphors

The Yb³⁺ doped Ba₂YB'O₆ (B'=Ta⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) were prepared by high temperature solid-state reaction method, their structures were determined by x-ray diffraction and refined by Rietveld method. The diffuse reflection absorption, excitation and emission spectra of Yb³⁺:Ba₂YB'O₆ (B'=,Ta⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) were measured at room temperature. Under the excitation of ultraviolet light, these phosphors exhibit broad charge transfer band emissions of TaO₆ or NbO₆ centre with large Stokes shift. The Yb³⁺ doped into these hosts are situated at Y³⁺ sites of cubic symmetry (O_h). The experimental energy levels of Yb³⁺ in Ba₂YTaO₆ and Ba₂YNbO₆ were determined by photoluminescence and diffuse reflection absorption spectra. Their wavefunctions and theoretical energy levels were obtained by diagonalising the Hamiltonian matrix. The experimental energy levels were fitted by Levenberg--Marquardt iteration algorithm to determine crystal field parameters. Then, the magnetic-pole transition line strengths of Yb³⁺:Ba₂YB'O₆(B'=Ta⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) from (²F_5/2)Γ₈^- to the low-energy states were calculated.

Full-profile fitting of emission spectrum to determine transition intensity parameters of Yb~(3+):GdTaO_4

The Judd-Ofelt theoretic transition intensity parameters A_(tp)~k of luminescence of rare-earth ions in solids are important for the quantitative analysis of luminescence.It is very difficult to determine them with emission or absorption spectra for a long time.A "full profile fitting" method to obtain A_(tp)~k in solids with its emission spectrum is proposed,in which the contribution of a radiative transition to the emission spectrum is expressed as the product of transition probability,line profile function,instrument measurement constant and transition center frequency or wavelength,and the whole experimental emission spectrum is the sum of all transitions.In this way,the emission spectrum is expressed as a function with the independent variables intensity parameters A_(tp)~k,full width at half maximum(FWHM) of profile functions,instrument measurement constant,wavelength,and the Huang-Rhys factor S if the lattice vibronic peaks in the emission spectrum should be considered.The ratios of the experimental to the calculated energy lifetimes are incorporated into the fitting function to remove the arbitrariness during fitting A_(tp)~k and other parameters.Employing this method obviates measurement of the absolute emission spectrum intensity.It also eliminates dependence upon the number of emission transition peaks.Every experiment point in emission spectra,which usually have at least hundreds of data points,is the function with variables A_(tp)~k and other parameters,so it is usually viable to determine A_(tp)~k and other parameters using a large number of experimental values.We applied this method to determine twenty-five A_(tp)~k of Yb~(3+) in GdTaO_4.The calculated and experiment energy lifetimes,experimental and calculated emission spectrum are very consistent,indicating that it is viable to obtain the transition intensity parameters of rare-earth ions in solids by a full profile fitting to the ions' emission spectrum.The calculated emission cross sections of Yb~(3+):GdTaO_4 also indicate that the F-L formula gives larger values in the wavelength range with reabsorption.
