Photoluminescence properties and energy transfer in Y_2O_3:Eu~(3+) nanophosphors

The photoluminescence(PL) properties of Y2O3:Eu3+nanophosphors were systematically investigated with the goal of improving the color quality and quantum efficiency of Y2O3:Eu3+nanophosphors for potential applications in nanoscale devices. The emission spectra, excitation spectra and fluorescence decay curves were employed to trace the energy transfer process from Eu3+at C3isite to Eu3+at C2site. The experimental results show that the energy transfer process becomes more and more efficient with the increase in the Eu3+concentration. The emission of Eu3+at C2site is favorable because it has high radiative efficiency and better color quality. The successful suppress of the emission Eu3+at C3iis especially important for its applications in general illumination or display technology. The quantum efficiency and color quality of Y2O3:Eu3+can be improved by controlling the energy transfer between the Eu3+at S6site and Eu3+at C2site.     

压力高达27 GPa下天然奥长石的XRD分析

在室温高达27 GPa压力下对天然奥长石(Na_0.86K_0.02Ca_0.12Mg_0.01(Fe_0.01Al_1.12Si_2.87O₈))粉晶进行了原位同步辐射X光衍射(XRD)测量,获得了样品的状态方程。实验数据表明随着压力增大奥长石样品在大约3.5 GPa发生了三斜向单斜的相变(P1→C2)和在大约10.0 GPa发生了单斜对称相变(C2→C2/m)。样品三个相的体模量计算值分别为K₀=73.8 GPa (K′=10.98), K_(C2)=124 GPa (K′=1.05) 和K_(C2/m)=272 GPa (K′=0.625)。样品的元素组成影响其T-O-T 键角的刚度、M-O键的强度和Si-O-Al键角的弯曲,从而导致奥长石样品在高压行为的特殊变化。三斜相的奥长石晶胞压缩性具明显的各向异性。实验结果表明在冷俯冲带奥长石可能是碱金属和碱土金属深循环的载体。     

叠氮化钡的高压拉曼光谱研究

在室温条件下,利用金刚石对顶砧高压技术,对叠氮化钡进行了原位高压拉曼光谱研究,采用红宝石荧光压标测压,实验的最高压力为10 GPa。实验压力范围内拉曼光谱随压力增加发生了丰富的变化。由于多处拉曼峰的出现和消失并伴随频移有拐点,我们判断叠氮化钡在3 GPa左右时发生了第一次结构相变;随着压力继续增加,在3.5~6.5 GPa范围内拉曼光谱仍不断变化,我们判断可能是相变或者是N=N=N键角和两个键长的非对称压缩导致的;压力继续增加,在8 GPa左右,多处新峰出现和峰的劈裂表明又发生了一次结构相变,并且判断叠氮化钡向着更复杂的结构转变。通过实验可以确定,实验压力范围内N=N=N离子并未被破坏。其实验结果有待高压同步辐射实验的进一步确认。     

Structure phase transformation and equation of state of cerium metal under pressures up to 51 GPa

This study presents high pressure phase transitions and equation of states of cerium under pressures up to 51 GPa at room temperature. The angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments are carried out using a high energy synchrotron x-ray source. The bulk moduli of high pressure phases of cerium are calculated using the Birch–Murnaghan equation. We discuss and correct several previous controversial conclusions, which are caused by the measurement accuracy or personal explanation. The c/a axial ratio of ε-Ce has a maximum value at about 29 GPa, i.e., c/a ≈ 1.690.
