本文系统制备了980nm半导体崩浦的应用于1．54μm波段微片激光器的高Er^3 ／Yb^3 共掺杂的氟铝酸盐玻璃。通过玻璃的吸收光谱，发射光谱和上转换荧光光谱的测试，对其光学性质、浓度淬灭及其淬灭机制进行了分析和讨论。当玻璃中Er^3 离子掺杂浓度低于10mol％的情况下，浓度淬灭现象较弱，Er^3 ／Yb^3 共掺杂的氟铝酸盐玻璃在由于Er^3 离子^4 I13／2→4^I 15／2跃迁所引起的1．54μm波段的发射强度比Er^3 单掺杂的氟铝酸盐玻璃中的荧光强度要强。在Er^3 离子掺杂浓度高于10mol％的情况下，由于Er^3 与Yb^3 之间的反能量转移过程，Er^3 ／Yb^3 共掺杂的氟铝酸盐玻璃的1．54μm波段的荧光浓度淬灭效应比Er^3 离子单掺杂的情况下明显。在Er^3 离子掺杂浓度小于10mol％的情况下，实验中发现可获得1．54μm波段高发射效率的Er^3 与Yb^3 离子最佳摩尔浓度掺杂比例约为1：1。     

Yb^3＋对Tm^3＋间接敏化与基质晶格关系

Yb^3 敏化Tm^3 有两种方式,一种是直接敏化上转换,另一种是间接敏化上转换。前种直接采用980nm激光激发,而后者可用807nm激光激发,无疑后者有利于提高上转换发光的量子效率。由于基质晶格的晶体场强度不同,对称性有高有低,造成的稀土离子的能级分裂不同,通过分析双掺BaY2F8,Cs3Yb2C19等材料的光谱资料并结合生长的双掺Yb^3 ,Tm^3 :ZnWO4单晶光谱的实际测试与分析,提出了Yb^3 和Tm^3 间的间接敏化共振能量传输的新观点,并具体分析了能形成这一上转换机制的条件。与间接敏化非共振能量传输不同,一是Yb^3 的^2F5/2→^2F7/2的跃迁应与Tm^3 3H4→^1G4能级间隔尽可能接近;二是Yb^3 激发态能级^2F5/2与Tm^3 的^3H4能级尽可能接近。这要求基质材料的晶体场场强要弱,对称性要低。间接敏化共振能量传输极有可能引起光子雪崩上转换,这将为探索实用上转换激光晶体提供有益经验。     

Microcalorimetric Study of the Action of Yb^3＋ ion on the Growth of Staphylococcus aureus

A microcalorimetric method was used to evaluate the action of Yb^3 ions onthe growth metabolism of Staphylococcus aureus.The power-time curves of the growth metabolism of Staphylo.coccus aureus and the action of Yb^3 ions were obtained by us-ing stopped-flow method at 37 ℃.

Color-tunable Upconversion Properties of Tb~(3+)/Er~(3+)/Yb~(3+) Tri-doped Na_5Gd(WO_4)_4 Crystals

In this work, novel phosphors Na5Gd(WO4)4: Tb^3+/Yb^3+ and Na5Gd(WO4)4: Tb^3+/Er^3+/Yb^3+ phosphors were synthesized by the solid state reaction method. The photoluminescence properties were investigated. The introduction of Er^3+ to NGW: Tb^3+/Yb^3+ was used to modify the chromaticity coordinates, then providing a good color tunable property. The change in the chromaticity coordinates induces the shift of emission color from yellow-green to blue-green for NGW: Tb^3+/Er^3+/Yb^3+ as the temperature increases. All the results indicate that the NGW: Er^3+/Tb^3+/Yb^3+ phosphors may be used as optical temperature sensing materials.     

Cooperative near-IR to visible photon upconversion in Yb3+-doped MnCl2 and MnBr2: comparison with a series of Yb3+-doped Mn2+ halides

Yb3+-doped MnCl2 and MnBr2 crystals exhibit strong red upconversion luminescence under near-infrared excitation around 10 000 cm(-1) at temperatures below 100 K. The broad red luminescence band is centred around 15 200 cm(-1) for both compounds and identified as the Mn2+ 4T1g-->6A1g transition. Excitation with 10 ns pulses indicates that the upconversion process consists of a sequence of ground-state and excited-state absorption steps. The experimental VIS/NIR photon ratio at 12 K for an excitation power of 191 mW focused on the sample with a 53 mm lens is 4.1% for MnCl2:Yb3+ and 1.2% for MnBr2:Yb3+. An upconversion mechanism based on exchange coupled Yb3+-Mn2+ ions is proposed. Similar upconversion properties have been reported for RbMnCl3:Yb3+, CsMnCl3:Yb3+, CsMnBr3:Yb3+, RbMnBr3:Yb3+, Rb2MnCl4:Yb3+. The efficiency of the upconversion process in these compounds is strongly dependent on the connectivity between the Yb3+ and Mn2+ ions. The VIS/NIR photon ratio decreases by three orders of magnitude along the series of corner-sharing Yb3+-Cl--Mn2+, edge-sharing Yb3+-(Cl-)2-Mn2+ to face-sharing Yb3+-(Br-)3-Mn2+ bridging geometry. This trend is discussed in terms of the dependence of the relevant super-exchange pathways on the Yb(3+)-Mn2+ bridging geometry.     

铋酸盐铒玻璃在1.54 μm处的荧光特性研究

The bismuth glasses with Er3+ and Er3+/Yb3+ co doped were fabricated by the technique of high temperature melting. The absorption and fluorescence spectra, fluorescence lifetime and FWHM were measured. The explanation of concentration quenching in case of high level Er3＋ doped the bismuth glasses is given. The sensitizing of Yb3＋ to Er3＋ in Er3＋/Yb3＋ co doped bismuth glasses is discussed. The explanation of the influence on absorption and fluorescence spectra, fluorescence lifetime and FWHM in case of the change of Er3+ or Yb3+ in bismuth glasses with Er3+/Yb3+ co doped is given. It is found that the change of Er3+ content has obviously influenced the fluorescence lifetime and FWHM while the change of Yb3+ content has remarkably influenced the absorption and fluorescence intensity. The band at around 1.54 μm in Er3+/Yb3+ co doped bismuth glass reaches 76 nm and the fluorescence lifetime is 0.55 ms.     

Investigations of the optical spectra and EPR parameters in CaWO4:Yb3+

In this paper, we calculate the optical spectra data (crystal-field energy levels), the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors gparallel, gperpendicular of Yb3+ and hyperfine structure constants Aparallel, Aperpendicular of 171Yb3+ and 173Yb3+ isotopes in CaWO4 crystal in a unified way from the crystal-field theory. All the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental values. The signs of Aparallel and Aperpendicular for both isotopes 171Yb3+ and 173Yb3+ are suggested.     

Theoretical investigation of the EPR parameters and local structure for trigonal Yb3+ ion in Bi4Ge3O12 crystal

Bi4Ge3O12 single crystals are of great interest for science research and engineering applications. In this paper, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g||, gperpendicular of Yb3+ and hyperfine structure constants A||, Aperpendicular of 171Yb3+ and 173Yb3+ isotopes in Bi4Ge3O12 crystal are calculated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters. The crystal-field parameters are obtained from the superposition model and the crystal structure data. The EPR parameters for trigonal Yb3+ centers in Bi4Ge3O12 are reasonably explained by involving the defect structures of impurity Yb3+ centers. Based on the calculations, Yb3+ ion is found not to occupy exactly the host Bi3+ site, but to shift away from the center of oxygen octahedron by a distance DeltaZ approximately 0.317 A along C3 axis. The results are discussed.     

Theoretical studies on the optical spectra and EPR parameters for trigonal Yb3+ center in CsCdBr3 crystal

In this paper, the crystal-field energy levels, the EPR g factors g//, g(perpendicular) of Yb3+ and hyperfine structure constants A//, A(perpendicular) of 171Yb3+ and 173Yb3+ isotopes in CsCdBr3 crystal are calculated from the crystal-field theory. The calculated results (seven energy levels and six EPR parameters) are in reasonable agreement with the observed values. In the calculation, we find that Yb3+ ion does not occupy the exact Cd2+ site, but is shifted from the center of bromine octahedron by a distance (Delta)Z approximately 0.184 angstroms along C3 axis. The results are discussed.     

Yb8Ge3Sb5, a metallic mixed-valent Zintl phase containing the polymeric 1 infinity[Ge3 4-] anions

Isotropic magnetic exchange between anisotropic Yb(III) ions. Study of Cs3Yb2Cl9 and Cs3Yb2Br9 crystals

Despite the prevalent belief about a strong anisotropy of the magnetic exchange in rare-earth compounds, Cs3Yb2Cl9 and Cs3Yb2Br9 crystals are found to exhibit fully isotropic exchange coupling between Yb3+ ions. In this article, we attempt to reveal the physical origin of this surprising feature. Our theoretical consideration is based on a model of the kinetic exchange between two octahedrally coordinated Yb3+ ions in their ground Kramers doublet states. It is shown that a mechanism of kinetic exchange involving intercenter electron hopping between 4f orbitals of two Yb3+ ions in a face-shared binuclear unit results in fully isotropic antiferromagnetic exchange coupling, while a mechanism in which the electron jumps from the 4f to the 5d orbital gives rise to a highly anisotropic interaction. Comparison of these results with the experimental data along with qualitative arguments regarding the relative significance of these two contributions to the overall exchange indicate that, in face-shared Yb3+ binuclear units, the 4f <--> 4f mechanism plays a dominant role.

The measured fluorescence lifetime is 398 μs. The blue light emission around 480 nm through cooperative upconversion from the de-excitation of excited Yb3+-Yb3+ pairs at 4 K was observed under 932-nm excitation and demonstrated.
