Optical absorption spectrum of Cr3+ ion doped in zinc cesium sulphate hexahydrate

Optical absorption spectrum of Cr³⁺ ion doped in zinc cesium sulphate hexahydrate single crystal has been studied both at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures. From the nature and position of the bands a successful interpretation of all the bands could be made assuming octahedral symmetry for the Cr³⁺ ion in the crystal. The observed bands are assigned to the transitions from the ground ⁴A_2g(F) state to the excited ²E_g(G), ²T_1g(G), ⁴T_2g(F) and ⁴T_1g(F) states.The crystal field parameters Dq = 1735 cm^?1, B = 635 cm^?1 and C = 4.75 B are found to give a good fit to the observed band positions.     

Luminescence processes in CsI doped with Na+ and K+ ions

The luminescence bands around 420 nm and 370 nm in CsI:Na and CsI:K have been studied by measuring the temperature dependence of decay times and luminescence and its excitation spectra. The bands are due to singlet+triplet localized excitons and to triplet localized excitons, respectively, at low temperature. Zero field splitting and life time amount to 0.2 meV and 3.3 μs for the 420 nm band, and to 2.1 meV and 1.7 μs for the 370 nm band. Creation processes of 420 nm excitons may not be the same below 40 K and near room temperature.     

Electric field effects in EPR of the SrTiO3 :Cr5+ Jahn-Teller system

It is shown that a static electric field affects the intensity ratio of the EPR lines of Cr⁵⁺ (d₁) in SrTiO₃ at 77K. The experimental results can be accounted for quantitatively by considering for the ${}^2\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{2g}}$ electronic ground state of Cr⁵⁺ a strong Jahn-Teller interaction with localized ρ_g mode. The degeneracy of the resulting vibronic ground state is lifted appreciably by a macroscopic strain which, as a result of the large electrostrictive coupling in SrTiO₃, is induced at moderate electric field strengths.

Laser spectroscopy of spinel microcrystallites in a Cr3+ doped silicate glass

Laser spectroscopy of Cr³⁺ ions makes it possible to follow the crystallization process in a cordiente glass (52 SiO₂, 347 Al₂O₃, 12.5 MgO and 08 Cr₂O₃) Absorption and fluorescence are interpreted by structural considerations showing the variation of Cr³⁺ environment during heat treatment Fluorescence line narrowing is performed at 4 2 K giving information on the detailed crystal structure in MgAl₂O₄ spinel microcrystallites formed during heat treatment The splitting of the ²E level is close to 70 cm^?1 and the ¦2D¦ parameter ranges between 0 95 and 1 35 cm^?1 This wide distribution is associated with the well known disordered distribution of Mg²⁺ and Al³⁺ cations in MgAl₂O₄ spinels.     

Time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy of pure and doped with Ce3+ ions SrAlF5 crystals

The results of a study of time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) and energy transfer in both pure and doped with Ce³⁺ ions SrAlF₅ (SAF) single crystals are presented. The time-resolved and steady-state PL spectra in the energy range of 1.5–6.0 eV, the PL excitation spectra and the reflectivity in the energy range of 3.7–21 eV, as well as the PL decay kinetics were measured at 8.8 and 295 K. The lattice defects were revealed in the low temperature PL spectra (emission bands at 2.9 and 4.5 eV) in the undoped SAF crystals. The luminescence spectra of the doped Ce³⁺:SAF crystals demonstrate a new selective emission bands in the range of 3.7–4.5 eV with the exponential decay kinetics (τ ≈ 60 ns at X-ray excitation). These bands correspond to the d-f transitions in Ce³⁺ ions, which occupy nonequivalent sites in the crystal lattice.

Cr5+ in SrTiO3: An example of a static Jahn-Teller effect in A d1 system

The effect of uniaxial stress on the EPR spectrum of Cr⁵⁺ in SrTiO₃ has been studied. It is concluded that SrTiO₃:Cr⁵⁺ is a static Jahn-Teller system. The strain-coupling coefficient V₂ is found to be 2 × 10⁴ cm^?1. Our results show that in the absence of external stress the intensity ratio of the EPR lines, at temperatures below the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition, is related to the macroscopic strain, present in SrTiO₃ at these temperatures.     

Growth and the luminescence properties of a lutetium gadolinium garnet doped with Ce3+ and Pr3+ ions

Crystals of lutetium gadolinium garnet solid solutions (Lu_{1 − x} Gd _x )Al₅O₁₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) doped with Ce³⁺ and Pr³⁺ ions have been prepared by the horizontal directional crystallization method, and their optical and luminescence properties have been investigated. It has been established that the introduction of gadolinium into the lutetium garnet lattice leads to a decrease in the antisite luminescence (Lu_Al centers) in the UV spectral range and to sensitization of the Ce³⁺ ion luminescence. By contrast, the presence of gadolinium results in the quenching of the Pr³⁺ luminescence due to the nonradiative excitation transfer from Pr³⁺ ions to Gd³⁺ ions.     

EPR study on Mn2+-Cu2+ and Ni2+-Cu2+ mixed pairs

An EPR study at X- and Q-band frequencies has been made on mixed metal pairs Mn²⁺-Cu²⁺ and Ni²⁺-Cu²⁺ obtained by doping the dimer complex C₅H₅NO CuCl₂ · H₂O. Available experimental data have been confirmed and extended, particularly as regards the characteristic directions of the various magnetic tensors. The qualitative behaviour of the spectra and the somewhat singular values of the magnetic parameters can be well-described on the basis of a theoretical model in which a very strong “cosine” interaction between the total electronic spins is assumed. From the model some interesting new aspects emerge, concerning the relations between pairs and single-ion EPR parameters.     

Magnetic circular dichroism of transition metal ions in solids-I. MgO:Cr3+

Absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of MgO: Cr³⁺ have been studied over the temperature range 5–300 °K and with magnetic fields up to 77 kG. A theory for intensity calculation using a weak field coupling scheme is discussed. Spin-forbidden transitions to ²E and ²T₁, are observed in MCD and are interpreted as magnetic dipole zero-phonon lines. The spin allowed bands ⁴T₂ and ⁴T₁ are found to be vibration-induced electric dipole transitions in which the t_1u lattice modes are the dominant contributors to the intensity.     

Resonant cross-relaxation between Cr3+ and V3+ in Al2O3

Cross-relaxation, which occurs when a V³⁺ transition is resonant with a monitored Cr³⁺ transition, leads to a marked reduction of the spin-lattice relaxation time of Cr³⁺ in Al₂O₃. Measurements and an analysis of the temperature dependence of this effect give a value of 8.34 ± 0.49 cm^?1 for the zero-field splitting of V³⁺, an ion which is strongly coupled to the lattice.     

Multisites Cr3+ in GGG and GSGG garnets

The emission and excitation spectra of Cr³⁺ -doped Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂ (GGG) and Gd₃Sc₂Ga₃O₁₂ (GSGG) are explained in the light of multisite effects. The situation is particularly complicated in the case of GSGG, where the different sites have²E energy levels near each other which overlap with the⁴A₂ ⁴T₂ absorption bands. The spectra obtained under selective excitations are interpreted on the multisite assumption.

Infrared, visible and upconversion emission of CaAl12O19 powders doped with Er3+, Yb3+ and Mg2+ ions

CaAl₁₂O₁₉ powders doped with Er³⁺, Yb³⁺, and Mg²⁺ ions have been prepared by a low-temperature combustion synthesis technique. Formation and chemical compositions were analysed by powder X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The visible luminescence spectra of the doped phosphor upon excitation with ∼378 nm radiation from a Xenon lamp have been studied. A broad band emission in the range of 1400–1700 nm with a peak around 1.5 μm and FWHM of about ∼80 nm responsible for the eye-safe telecommunication window has been observed upon direct excitation with a NIR laser into the ⁴I_11/2 level of Er³⁺. The effect of co-doping with Yb³⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions in the CaAl₁₂O₁₉:Er³⁺ matrix on the photoluminescence intensity corresponding to the ²H_11/2,⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2, ⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2 and ⁴I_13/2→⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺ is elaborated and discussed in detail.

The correlation between the excitation and fluorescence polarizations of the ⁴T₂ → ⁴A₂ broadband luminescence is investigated. The behaviour of the emission with the wavelength is also studied when modulating the light excitation either in intensity or in polarization. The results can be explained assuming that the broadband arise from different relaxed levels.
