Mixed valence on dilute Eu in YCu2Si2

We report measurements of electrical resistivity, thermopower, thermal conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, Mößbauer andL _III x-ray absorption of intermediate valent Eu in Y_1–x Eu _x Cu₂Si₂ alloys withx=0.03,x=0.07 andx=0.10. A qualitative comparison of the physical properties of dilute Eu in YCu₂Si₂ with concentrated Eu in EuCu₂Si₂ shows only slight differences; the dominant feature is a very strong variation of the Eu valence with temperature, from about 2.8 at 4 K to about 2.45 at 800 K, in the concentrated compound as well as in the dilute alloys.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Na2Ba2Si2O7:Eu2+ phosphor

Green-emitting phosphor Na₂Ba₂Si₂O₇:Eu²⁺ has been synthesized by a conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction. The phase structure and luminescence properties are characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectra, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, temperature-dependent emission spectra, respectively. It can be efficiently excited in the wavelength range of 325–400 nm and consists of a strong broad green band centered at about 501 nm, which is ascribed to 4f⁶6s⁰5d¹ → 4f⁷6s²5d⁰ transition of Eu²⁺. The critical quenching concentration of Eu²⁺ in the Na₂Ba₂Si₂O₇ host is about 0.8 mol % and corresponding quenching behavior is ascribed to be electric dipole–dipole interaction. Furthermore, the phosphor has good thermal stability property, and the activation energy for thermal quenching is calculated as 0.34 eV.     

Eu valency and recoil-free fraction in EuCo2Si2-x Ge x

The valency of Eu in EuCo₂Si_2-x Ge _x withx=0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2 was determined by¹⁵¹Eu-Mössbauer, Eu-L _III X-ray absorption as well as magnetization studies in the temperature range from 4.1 to 650 K and at external pressures up to 66 kbar. Eu in EuCo₂Si₂ is found to be predominantly trivalent, while in EuCo₂Ge₂ it is divalent. In EuCo₂Si_2-x Ge _x (0x2), two separate narrow Mössbauer absorption lines are observed, corresponding to stable divalent and trivalent Eu ions. In EuCo₂Si_1.5Ge_0.5, the relative spectral areas of the Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ Mössbauer lines are found to be strongly temperature and pressure dependent. A decrease in temperature or an application of pressure leads to small changes in the positions of the two absorption lines and to a pronounced increase in the relative spectral area of the Eu²⁺ component. On the other hand, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) measurements at theL _III threshold of Eu reveal no change in the relative intensity of the Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ subspectra as a function of temperature. From these observations it is concluded that the recoil-free fractions of the Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ Mössbauer resonances in EuCo₂Si_1.5Ge_0.5 depend in a substantially different way on temperature. With the Debye approximation, Debye temperatures of _D(Eu²⁺)=175 K and _D(Eu³⁺)=250 K are derived. These results clearly show that relative abundances of Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions may only be derived from Mössbauer linie intensities, if appropriate corrections for differences in recoil-free fraction are applied; this applies even to mixed-valent systems, where Eu ions with different valencies occupy crystallographically equivalent sites.

Hyperfine interactions on151Eu and57Fe in amorphous EuFe2Si2

The magnetic and quadrupole hyperfine interactions in amorphous EuFe₂Si₂ have been measured using⁵⁷Fe and¹⁵¹Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy. The distributions in the various parameters have been found using the Fourier coefficient method. Novel features of the results are that the Eu charge state (4f occupation number) changes between the crystalline and amorphous phases and that whereas in the crystalline phase neither Eu nor Fe is magnetic, both become so in the amorphous phase.     

Magnetic ordering in HoRu2Si2, HoRh2Si2, TbRh2Si2 and TbIr2Si2 by neutron diffraction

Neutron diffraction study of polycrystalline HoRu₂Si₂, HoRh₂Si₂, TbRh₂Si₂, and TbIr₂Si₂ was performed in the temperature range between 4.2 and 300 K. For HoRu₂Si₂ the magnetic spin alignment of a linear transverse wave mode below the Néel temperature 19 K is observed. This static moment wave is propagating along the b-axis with k=(0, 0.2, 0) and is polarized in the c-axis. The root-mean-square and maximum saturation moments per Ho atom are 9.26 and 13.09μ_B, respectively. HoRh₂Si₂, TbRh₂Si₂ an TbIr₂Si₂ are simple collinear antiferromagnets of +-+- type with Néel temperatures of (27±1), (98±2) and (72±3) K, respectively. For TbRh₂Si₂ and TbIr₂Si₂ magnetic moments are localized on RE ions only and are aligned along the tetragonal axis, while for HoRh₂Si₂ they form an angle ø = (28±3)°.     

Synthesis and characterization of light emitting Eu2O3 films on Si substrates

We have studied the optical and structural properties of Eu₂O₃ thin films grown by RF magnetron sputtering on Si substrates. The films have been annealed in O₂ ambient to improve their properties. The intensity of the photoluminescence (PL) signal detected at room temperature from the films depends on the temperature of the thermal process. The structural characterization of the films, performed by transmission electron microscopy, energy filtered transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction, reveals that annealing processes performed at temperatures higher than 900 °C induce a mixing at the Eu₂O₃–Si interface, leading to the formation of a silicate-like layer, which is responsible for the observed decrease of the PL intensity.

Investigation of the structure and luminescence properties of CdF2-CaF2 : Eu superlattices on Si(111)

A complex investigation of CdF₂-CaF₂ : Eu superlattices with different bilayer thicknesses (2.0–17.5 nm) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) has been carried out. The structural perfection of the layers and interfaces of the superlattices have been estimated from the X-ray diffractometry and reflectometry data. The possibility of producing short-period pseudomorphic superlattices with a period of approximately 2 nm has been established. It has been shown that these superlattices are characterized by a larger root-mean-square roughness amplitude of the interfaces as compared to the long-period superlattices. The specific features of cathodoluminescence spectra have been analyzed as a function of the superlattice period. It has been revealed that, with a decrease in the superlattice period, the intrinsic luminescence intensity of fluorides increases in comparison with the intensity of the luminescence associated with the emission of Eu²⁺ impurity ions; in this case, several Eu³⁺ luminescence bands appear in the spectrum. The possibilities of electron probe microanalysis for determining the ratio of thicknesses of individual layers in short-period superlattices have been demonstrated.     

Y2Si2O7:Eu/SiO2 core shell phosphor particles prepared by flame spray pyrolysis

This paper reports the synthesis of core shell phosphor particles (Y₂Si₂O₇:Eu/SiO₂) produced by flame spray pyrolysis with yttrium and europium nitrates and colloidal silica dispersed precursor solutions. Particles of various structures were produced, including heterogeneous, core shell and non-spherical core shell particles, depending on the synthesis conditions; the ideal core shell structure was obtained under the highest flame temperature and high silicon concentration in the precursor solution. Based on the phase diagram, the formation of the core shell structure was caused by the separation of each component at the liquid phase in the synthesis route. In the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, yttrium could be detected only at the core part of the particle, while silicon and oxygen could be detected at both the shell and core parts. Under ultraviolet excitation, the ideal core shell particles of Y₂Si₂O₇:Eu showed photoluminescent characteristics. Consequently, it could be concluded that Y₂Si₂O₇:Eu/SiO₂ core shell phosphor particles were successfully synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis.     

Effect of Sr2+-doping on structure and luminescence properties of BaAl2Si2O8:Eu2+ phosphors

Sr²⁺ doped BaAl₂Si₂O₈:Eu²⁺ phosphor was synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. With the increase of Sr²⁺ concentration, the phase structure of (Ba_0.965 ? xSr_xEu_0.035)Al₂Si₂O₈ changes from hexagonal phase to monoclinic phase owing to large activation energy in SrAl₂Si₂O₈ system. (Ba_0.965 ? xSr_xEu_0.035)Al₂Si₂O₈ phosphor exhibits a broad blue band peaking at 425 nm due to the 4f⁶5d–4f⁷(⁸S_7/2) transition of Eu²⁺ ions. The emission intensity increases, accompanied by the blue shift of emission maximum from 459 to 417 nm with the Sr²⁺ doping concentration increasing. The optimal concentration of Sr²⁺ ion is 40%, and the phosphor shows high color stability in CIE chromaticity diagram. The result indicates that Sr²⁺ doped phosphor not only can enhance the relative intensity but also can adjust the chromaticity coordinate.     

Eu~(2+)浓度对Sr_2Si_5N_8∶Eu~(2+)红粉热猝灭机制的影响

采用高温固相法制备了不同Eu2+浓度掺杂的Sr2Si5N8红色荧光粉,并对其晶体结构、形貌、发光和热猝灭性能进行了详细的研究。XRD和SEM测试表明,所合成的样品为纯相Sr2Si5N8结构,具有较高的结晶度。PL光谱数据表明,Eu2+替代Sr2+格位形成两种不同的发光中心。温度特性测试发现,样品的热猝灭性能很大程度上取决于Eu2+浓度。随着Eu2+浓度的增加,样品的热猝灭性能先增强后降低。不同发光中心的荧光强度比和荧光寿命测试结果表明:在较低Eu2+掺杂条件下,Eu2+浓度引起热猝灭性能改变的机制主要归因于Eu2+占据不同Sr2+格位的几率的改变。     

Electron impact ionization cross-section of C2, C3, Si2, Si3, SiC,SiC2 and Si2C

Total ionization cross-sections for C₂, C₃, Si₂, Si₃, SiC, SiC₂ and Si₂C molecules have been calculated by electron impact. Spherical complex optical potential formalism has been employed for obtaining the inelastic cross-sections for these molecules. Then by applying complex scattering potential-ionization contribution method, total ionization cross-sections are derived. These cross-sections are calculated in the energy range from ionization threshold to 2?keV. There are no measurements available in the literature to the best of our knowledge with which our results can be compared. The results show a linear relationship between maximum ionization cross-section and square root of the ratio of polarizability to ionization potential, depending on its atomicity. This gives a confirmation for the consistency of the data reported here. Present work is a maiden attempt to find electron impact ionization cross-section for these molecules, except for C₂ and C₃.

Pressure and temperature dependence of the emission in BaF2:Eu and SrF2:Eu

The 4f⁶5d¹(e)→4f⁷ emission (normal) of Eu²⁺ in SrF₂ and normal and anomalous emissions of Eu²⁺ in BaF₂ are studied as a function of pressure and temperature. Although in BaF₂ both emissions (anomalous and normal) shift with pressure in the same spectral direction (a red shift), the anomalous emission converts to the normal emission when the pressure increases to 33 kbar. Considering the dependence of BaF₂:Eu²⁺ luminescence on the pressure and temperature we have found that spectral transformation takes place due to a smooth pressure-induced level crossing at approximately the same pressure as the phase transition.     

151Eu mössbauer studies in Eu(Cu1−x Au x )2Si2 (x=10%, 15%, 20%)

¹⁵¹Eu-Mössbauer investigations have been made on Eu(Cu_1–xAu_x)₂Si₂ (x=0, 0.1, 0.15, 0.20) as a function of temperature. Intr⤩uction of gold in the matrix not only pr⤩uces significant variations in the isomer shift but also leads to a slowing down of valence fluctuations.
