采用磁控共溅射技术制备了铒铥共掺杂氧化锌发光薄膜. 通过优化退火温度, 实现了薄膜的近红外 平坦宽带发射, 总带宽可达到~ 500 nm, 覆盖了光通信S+C+L+U 区波段. 此发射带由Er³⁺ 的1535 nm (⁴I_13/2 → ⁴I_15/2) 发射峰及Tm³⁺ 的1460 nm (³H₄ → ³F₄), 1640 nm (¹G₄ → ³F₂), 1740 nm (³F₄ → ³H₆) 发射峰组成. 研究表明: 退火温度低于800 ℃ 时, 没有观察到薄膜样品明显的光致发光现象; 随着退火温度 从800 ℃ 升高到1000 ℃, I₁₆₄₀/I₁₅₃₅ 发射峰强度比从0.2 升高到0.3, I₁₇₄₀/I₁₅₃₅ 发射峰强度比从0.5 降低 到0.4, 发射峰强度比均基本保持稳定; 当退火温度高于1000 ℃ 时, I₁₆₄₀/I₁₅₃₅ 发射峰强度比从0.3 升高到 0.6, I₁₇₄₀/I₁₅₃₅ 发射峰强度比从0.4 升高到0.8, 发射峰强度比均急剧增加. 变温行为表明: 随着温度从10 K 逐渐升高到300 K, 谱线的总带宽基本不变, 在340—360 nm 之间; Tm³⁺ 在1640 和1740 nm 处的发射峰强度 分别降低了2/3 和1/2, Er³⁺ 在1535 nm 的发射峰强度增大了1.2 倍. 这是因为随着温度的升高, 声子数目增 多, Er³⁺ 与Tm³⁺ 离子之间发生能量传递的概率不断变大, 并且在Tm³⁺ 离子之间没有发生交叉弛豫现象.     

Pressure- and temperature-dependent luminescence from Tm3+ ions doped in GdYTaO4

Luminescent properties of Tm³⁺-doped GdYTaO₄ are studied for exploring their potential applications in temperature and pressure sensing.Two main emission peaks from ³H₄→³H₆ transition of Tm³⁺are investigated.Intensity ratio between the two peaks evolves exponentially with temperature and has a highest sensitivity of 0.014 K^?1 at 32 K.The energy difference between the two peaks increases linearly with pressure increasing at a rate of 0.38 meV/GPa.Intensity ratio between the two peaks and their emission lifetimes are also analyzed for discussing the pressure-induced variation of the sample structure.Moreover,Raman spectra recorded under high pressures indicate an isostructural phase transition of GdYTaO₄ occurring at 4.46 GPa.     

Tm3+浓度对Y2（MoO4）3：Tm3+，Yb3+荧光粉上转换发光性质的影响

采用传统的高温固相反应法合成了Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺共掺杂Y₂（MoO₄）₃系列荧光粉。XRD结果表明合成的样品为相纯度好的Y₂（MoO₄）₃。在980 nm光激发下,样品具有较强的位于487 nm和800 nm的蓝色和近红外发射,同时伴有较弱的位于649 nm的红光发射。它们分别来自于Tm³⁺的¹G₄→³H₆、³H₄→³H₆和¹G₄→³F₄跃迁。根据功率相关的上转换发射和能级图分析了Tm³⁺的上转换发光机制。结果表明,¹G₄和³H₄能级的布居分别来自于三光子和两光子的能量传递上转换。此外,随着Tm³⁺浓度的增加,蓝色、红色和近红外发射带均呈先增加后降低的趋势,即发生了浓度猝灭。同时,蓝光发射和近红外发射的强度比随Tm³⁺掺杂浓度的增加而减小。

Absorption and luminescence measurements of Tm³⁺ and Ho³⁺ ions in LiYF₄:Tm³⁺, LiYF₄:Ho³⁺ and LiYF₄:Tm³⁺, Ho³⁺ crystals were carried out. The data collected were used to determine the Ho³⁺ absorption coefficient integral for ⁵I₈→⁵I₇ transition, and the overlap integral between the normalized Tm³⁺ luminescence spectrum due to the ³F₄→³H₆ transition and the Ho³⁺ absorption band due to ⁵I₈→⁵I₇ transition. The relevant critical transfer distance (R_o), that gives a measure of the Tm³⁺–Ho³⁺ coupling, was determined considering the Förster type interaction between the ions. It was found to be 22.5 Å and 28.8 Å at 300 and 78 K, respectively.

Effect of Yb on red to blue conversion fluorescence of Tm in fluorozirconate glass

The mechanisms governing the upconversion fluorescence from the ¹G₄ level of Tm³⁺ ions have been investigated in fluorozirconate glass doped with Tm³⁺ only and codoped with Tm³⁺ and Yb³⁺ ions, under 649 (³H₄→¹G₄) and 684 nm (³H₆→³F₃) excitation wavelengths. The emission intensity depends on the excitation power quadratically in both samples, showing the two-photon absorption nature of the processes. An enhancement of the ¹G₄→³H₆ emission was observed in the codoped sample under 684 nm excitation. The upconversion emission in the single doped sample is mainly due to the E.S.A. process upon both excitations. The dominant mechanism was found to be the energy transfer processes between Tm³⁺ and Yb³⁺ ions in the codoped sample when the excitation was tuned at 684 nm. The upconverted emission intensity shows a different temperature dependence under the two excitations in the codoped sample. However, for the 649 nm excitation the dependence is the same in both samples. This confirms the dominance of the E.S.A. process under 649 nm excitation in both, singly and doubly doped samples.

在NaGdF4：Tm3+, Dy3+中Gd3+间的能量迁移及Gd3+-Dy3+能量传递量子效率

基于量子剪裁基本原理,通过光谱技术研究NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺在一个真空紫外光子激发下获得两个蓝色光子的可能性。在这种化合物中,量子剪裁通过下转换,即通过应用不同镧系离子间的能量传递进行。通过对Tm 4f¹²-4f¹¹5d激发,部分能量从Tm³⁺离子5d态直接传递给Gd³⁺,然后在Gd³⁺-Tm³⁺之间发生交叉弛豫,剩余能量从Gd³⁺传递给Dy³⁺,产生两个可见光子发射,一个来自Tm³⁺的¹G₄-³H₆跃迁,另一个来自Dy³⁺的⁴F_9/2-⁶H_15/2跃迁。主要研究获得以NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺为基础的新型具有更高效率,更高稳定性和更强真空紫外(VUV)吸收量子剪裁发光粉的可能性。各种光谱技术,如光致发光、激发和衰减等被用来表征不同Dy³⁺浓度掺杂NaGdF₄中Gd³⁺晶格间能量迁移引起的施主Gd³⁺和受主Dy³⁺之间的能量传递。结果表明Gd³⁺离子之间存在能量迁移,随之交换相互作用引起施主与受主(Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺)之间的能量传递。通过Bursh-tein等人关于激发态的弛豫理论,施主-受主能量传递参数k_DS可以从Gd³⁺的⁶P_7/2发射的衰减计算出。Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺能量传递量子效率也可以得到。NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺和NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺是由水热法制备的,NaGdF₄:Dy³⁺是由文献[4]方法制备的。发射光谱和激发光谱通过自制的VUV光谱仪和F-4500测量。衰减曲线由OPO激光器激发获得Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺之间能量传递量子效率在受主浓度大约在N_A=0.6%时达到最佳值,并且明显地观测到浓度猝灭效应。

Radiothermoluminescence of poly(tetra fluoroethylene) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) pretreated by xenon ions

Low-temperature (77–300 K) RadioThermoLuminescence (RTL) investigations of Poly(Tetra FluoroEthylene) (PTFE) and Poly(Ethylene TerePhthalate) (PET) foils previously treated by different flux (Φ = 10⁶–10¹¹ cm⁻²) of Xenon ions with energy 1.1 MeV/nucleon have been showed an essential ion-induced changes in RTL of the both polymers under study. In PET as well as in PTFE significant changes of RTL light yield observed at the ion flux more than 10⁹ cm⁻². Variation of RTL light yield in PTFE accompanied by appearance of new TL temperature maxima on the glow curve. An existence of correlation between observed changes of molecular mobility in ion-irradiated polymer and optical (PET) and strength (PTFE) properties have been found.     

Energy spectra of neutrons emitted following muon capture in O and C

The energy spectra of neutrons emitted following muon capture in ¹⁶O and ¹²C are investigated using the continuum shell model. Nuclear wave functions, which have been shown by Ohtsubo and the author to describe the radiative pion capture reaction in the above nuclei well, are adopted. The calculated neutron energy spectra explain well the observed main peaks, at 5 MeV for ¹⁶O and 4 MeV for ¹²C, which are considered to be the giant resonances excited in the muon capture reaction. These peaks are interpreted as the 2⁻ state at 20.3 MeV for ¹⁶O and the 1⁻ state at 22.5 MeV for ¹²C. Comparisons with photon spectra in radiative pion capture reactions are also made. The calculated total capture rates exceed the experimental values by a factor of 2.5 for ¹⁶O and by 30–40% for ¹²C.     

Trap levels in Y-aluminum garnet scintillating crystals

Point defects acting as trap levels were investigated on undoped, Ce- and (Ce, Si)-doped Y₃Al₅O₁₂ (YAG) crystals by TSL measurements performed over a wide temperature range (10–800 K). Below room temperature, a composite glow curve was observed, whose intensity strongly increased after Ce doping. Moreover, Ce doping introduced new trap levels giving rise to glow peaks in the 100–200 K range. On the other hand, Si co-doping did not influence the low T glow curve in a significant way. The spectral emission of the TSL was found to be governed by the Ce³⁺ 5d–4f radiative transition, while defect related higher energy emission bands were detected only in the undoped crystal. Above RT, the glow curve was found to be much more influenced by Si co-doping since a strong increase of a glow peak at about 250°C was noticed. Scintillation time decays of Ce- and Ce,Si-doped samples are also reported and compared with TSL data. The significance of the results and the potential impact of defect states on the scintillation properties are discussed.
