Spectroscopic Studies on Charge Transfer from Ce^3＋ to Yb^3＋ in KMgF3 ： Ce, Yb Nanocrystals

Nanocrystals of KMgF3 single-doped and codoped with Ce^3＋ or/and Yb^3＋ were synthesized separately by the mi-croemulsion method. The X-ray diffraction（XRD） patterns were indexed to show that the KMgF3 crystal system was unchanged. The fluorescent spectra of KMgF3： Ce, Yb polycrystal powders were studied and compared with those of the Ce,Yb doped KMgF3 crystals produced using the high-temperature solid phase method. The diffuse reflection spectra and infrared emission of KMgF3： Ce, Yb were investigated. From the results, the authors could confirm that there were charge transfer processes from Ce^3＋ to Yb^3＋ in both KMgF3： Ce,Yb nanocrystals and polycrystal powders.     

Study on optical properties of rare-earth ions in nanocrystalline monoclinic SrAl2O4: Ln (Ln = Ce3+, Pr3+, Tb3+)

SrAl(2)O(4): Ln (Ln = Ce(3+), Pr(3+), Tb(3+)) nanocrystals have been synthesized by the combustion method. The results of XRD indicated that the resulting SrAl(2)O(4): Ln (Ln = Ce(3+), Pr(3+), Tb(3+)) nanocrystals have a reduced and distorted monoclinic lattice compared with bulk materials. The spectral properties are measured, and it is found that the excitation peaks of 5d energy levels red shift in nanocrystals in contrast to that in bulk crystals. The mechanism of spectra and energy changes is investigated. The order of the degree of red shift for nano SrAl(2)O(4): Ln (Ln = Ce(3+), Pr(3+), Tb(3+)) crystals is Pr(3+) > Ce(3+) > Tb(3+), which is in good agreement with our predicted results.

Holographic Storage Properties of In：Fe：Mn：LiNbO3 Crystals

In:Fe:Mn:LiNbO3(LN) crystals were grown in air atmosphere by Czochralski method with different concentration of In (0,1,2,3 mol%) in the melts,while the contents of Fe2O3 and MnO were 0.1 and 0.5 mol%,respectively. The location of doping ions was analyzed by Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra and differential thermal analysis. The diffraction efficiency (η),writing time (τw) and erasure time (τe) of the crystals were measured by two-beam coupling experiment. The dynamic range and photorefractive sensitivity have also been calculated. The results showed that with the increase of In ions in the melt,the absorption edge of In:Fe:Mn:LN crystal shifts to the violet firstly and then makes the Einstein shift,the Curie temperature of crystal increases firstly and then decreases,the storage ratio speeds up,diffraction efficiency decreases,and dynamic range and photorefractive sensitivity increase. The mechanism of holographic storage properties of In:Fe: Mn:LN crystal with different doping concentration of In3+ was investigated,suggesting the In: Fe:Mn:LN crystals are excellent holographic storage materiel with better synthetical properties than Fe:Mn:LN crystals.

Growth and Spectroscopic Investigations of Disordered Nd3+:Li3Ba2La3(MoO4)8 Crystal

Nd3+: Li3Ba2La3(MoO4)8 crystal has been grown from a flux of Li2MoO4 by the top seeded solution growth method (TSSG) and its structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The polarized absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra and fluorescence decay curve of the crystal were measured. The main spectral parameters were calculated by the Judd-Ofelt theory and compared with other Nd-doped crystals. The broad absorption bands and the large absorption cross sections around 805 nm indicate that the crystal is very suitable for diode-laser pumping. The broad emission bands around 1060 nm show that the crystal is a potential medium for tunable and short pulse lasers. The quantum efficiency of the crystal is up to 95%, which is higher than the value for Nd3+:YVO4 and Nd3+:YAG and comparable to that of other disordered molybdate crystals. The excellent spectroscopic properties show that Nd3+:Li3Ba2La3(MoO4)8 crystal may be regarded as a potential solid state laser host material for diode laser pumping.

Characterization of LaBr<Subscript>3</Subscript>: Ce and LaCl<Subscript>3</Subscript>: Ce scintillators for gamma-ray spectroscopy

This study aims to investigate the performance of relatively new cerium-doped scintillators, LaCl₃ and LaBr₃, for gamma-ray spectroscopy. The study involved recording of detected spectra and measurement of energy resolution, as well as photo-fraction. The Monte Carlo package, GATE, was used to validate the experiments. In general, the energy resolution figures achieved were twice as good as that of NaI(Tl). In conclusion, LaBr₃: Ce and LaCl₃: Ce crystals have excellent energy resolution, (2.13±0.03)% and (2.92±0.04)% at 1332 keV, respectively, and comparable photo-fraction to NaI(Tl). Hence, these crystals, particularly LaBr₃: Ce, have the potential to replace NaI(Tl) as the scintillator of choice for γ-ray spectroscopy.     

Optical Properties and Structural Perfection of Chicago Sky Blue 6B-doped KDP Crystals

KDP crystals doped with Chicago Sky Blue 6B(CSB-6B) were grown by traditional lowering temperature method.The optical properties and structural perfection of KDP crystals were investigated by transmittance spectra and high-resolution X-ray diffraction,respectively.The results indicate that CSB-6B tends to be incorporated into the pyramidal sector of KDP crystals(PyS-KDP) and lead to inclusions parallel to(101) face.Additionally,the transmittance of as-grown KDP crystals decreases as the amount of CSB-6B increases.Moreover,the rocking curves of PyS-KDP suggest that CSB-6B can deteriorate the structural perfection of PyS-KDP.     

Magnetic properties of single crystal alpha-benzoin oxime: An EPR study

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of gamma irradiated single crystals of alpha-benzoinoxime (ABO) have been examined between 120 and 440 K. Considering the dependence on temperature and the orientation of the spectra of single crystals in the magnetic field, we identified two different radicals formed in irradiated ABO single crystals. To theoretically determine the types of radicals, the most stable structure of ABO was obtained by molecular mechanic and B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculations. Four possible radicals were modeled and EPR parameters were calculated for the modeled radicals using the B3LYP method and the TZVP basis set. Calculated values of two modeled radicals were in strong agreement with experimental EPR parameters determined from the spectra. Additional simulated spectra of the modeled radicals, where calculated hyperfine coupling constants were used as starting points for simulations, were well matched with experimental spectra.

点缺陷引起中子辐照MgO(110)单晶的铁磁性

对MgO(110)单晶进行中子辐照,辐照剂量从1.0 × 10¹⁶到1.0 × 10²⁰ cm^-2。基于黄昆漫散射理论,我们计算了MgO晶体中的立方缺陷和偶极力缺陷引起的X射线漫散射强度分布图。通过X射线漫散射及紫外-可见光(UV-Vis)吸收光谱实验表征了晶体的点缺陷组态,并利用超导量子干涉仪(SQUID)测量了样品的磁性。ω–2θ和摇摆曲线说明MgO单晶经中子辐照后产生了晶格畸变,晶体中存在一定浓度的点缺陷。倒易空间图(RSM)显示中子辐照的MgO单晶存在漫散射现象。与计算得到的漫散射分布图对比分析可知,中子辐照的MgO(110)单晶中产生了弗仑克尔缺陷。UV-Vis吸收光谱表明所有辐照晶体中存在阴离子单空位缺陷。辐照剂量较高(1.0 × 10¹⁹和1.0 × 10²⁰ cm^-2)的样品中存在O空位的聚集。磁性测量显示中子辐照后的MgO(110)单晶在室温下依然是抗磁性,但在低温下具有铁磁性,最大饱和磁化强度达到0.058 emu·g^-1。通过中子辐照的方法,可以使MgO(110)单晶产生点缺陷引起的低温铁磁性。利用F色心交换机制可以解释中子辐照MgO晶体中的O空位缺陷与铁磁性之间的关系。

Study on the Growth and Photorefractive Properties of In：Fe：Cu：LiNbO3 Crystals

Fe(0.2 mol%):Cu(0.04 mol%):LiNbO3 crystals with different doping concentration of In3+ (0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0mol%) were grown by Czochralski method, and then oxidized and reduced. The infrared transmittance spectra of crystals were measured to investigate the location of doping ion and its threshold concentration. The photorefractive properties of the crystals were tested by two beam coupling experiment. The results showed that the threshold concentration of In ions is 2.0～ 3.0 mol% and In ions take the place of NbL 4i+ to form ( In L2i+) before reaching its threshold concentration, and then the location of normal Nb ions. In the (2.0 mol%):Fe:Cu:LiNbO3 crystal with the oxidation treatment having the highest diffraction efficiency (η = 45.8%), the photo-damage resistance threshold value R of In(3.0 mol%):Fe:Cu:LiNbO3 was 3.67×104 W/cm2 which was two orders of magnitude higher than that of Fe:Cu:LiNbO3 crystal (4.30×102 W/cm2). And the photo-damage resistance ability was enhanced by oxidized treatment. The In(2.0～3.0 mol%):Fe:Cu:LiNbO3 crystals with oxidized treatment have the best photorefractive properties.
