基质对Tb3+单掺荧光玻璃发光性质的影响

采用高温熔融法制备了Tb³⁺单掺硼酸盐、硅酸盐和磷酸盐荧光玻璃和相应的玻璃基质。根据紫外-可见透射光谱计算了Tb³⁺在不同基质中从⁷F₆ 到⁵D₃和 ⁵D₄能级的实验振子强度,解释了不同基质中Tb³⁺发射光谱的变化原因。结果表明：因为对称性差,在磷酸盐玻璃基质中,Tb³⁺在542 nm和585 nm处的发射峰有劈裂现象。在硼酸盐和硅酸盐基质中,Tb³⁺ 的⁵D₃能级上的粒子通过交叉弛豫过程被倒空并转移到⁵D₄能级,故⁵D₃能级发光（413 nm和436 nm）不明显;在磷酸盐基质中,Tb³⁺的⁵D₃能级上的粒子数较少,没有交叉弛豫产生,故⁵D₃能级发光最强。在3种基质中,Tb³⁺从⁵D₄能级发射的特征峰489,542,585,620 nm的强度顺序是硼酸盐>硅酸盐>磷酸盐,与Tb³⁺在不同基质中从⁷F₆ 到 ⁵D₄能级的实验振子强度顺序一致。     

双掺Eu3+ 和Tb3+ 的下转换β-NaYF4的合成与发光性能

Fluorescence and absorption spectra of Tb3+ ions in yttrium-gallium garnet

The data on the fluorescence and absorption spectra of the Tb³⁺ ions in yttrium-gallium garnet in the region 3800–6800 Å have been obtained at 4.2 K and 77 K. The groups of fluorescence lines in the regions 3800–4830 Å and 4860–6800 Å have been assigned to transitions from ⁵D₃ and ⁵D₄, respectively, to the Stark components of ⁷F states. The analysis of the spectra led to the identification of six Stark components each for the ⁵D₃ and ⁵D₄ states and thirty-six components of ⁷F states. The local symmetry arround the Tb³⁺ ions is found to be orthorhombic, in accordance with the complete removal of the degeneracy of the ⁷F₅ and ⁷F₁ electronic states.     

Luminescence of Tb3+ ions in silicate glasses

The optical absorption and photoluminescence emission spectra of terbium doped sodium and lithium aluminium silicate glasses have been measured as a function of terbium concentration. Optical absorption has been measured over the wavelength range from 250 nm to 40 μm and the absorption bands attributed to Tb³⁺ ions have been identified. Luminescence emission occurs in two groups of bands in the blue and in the green. The green ⁵D₄ → ⁷F_J emission is more intense than the blue ⁵D₃ → ⁷F_J. The green luminescence is enhanced at the expense of the blue when the Tb³⁺ ion concentration reaches 0.5 molar%, which corresponds to an ion separation of 20 Å. The green emission is quenched when the Tb³⁺ ion concentration exceeds 5 molar%, corresponding to an ion separation of 9.5 Å. It is concluded that energy transfer from ⁵D₃ to ⁵D₄ levels begins at Tb³⁺ ion separations of 20 Å, and that the process is multipolar. Exchange dipole processes set in at 9.5 Å and quench the green emission. The ion separations at which the two processes occur in silicate glasses are much larger than those at which similar processes set in crystalline material. This enhancement of energy transfer processes in silicate glass is attributed to inhomogeneous broadening of the absorption and emission bands. The detailed structure of the emission bands, particularly that of the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F_6,5,4 doublets, is used to suggest that the Tb³⁺ ions occupy two different sites with rhombohedral and cubic symmetries.     

FLUORESCENCE MECHANISMS OF Tm3+- AND Yb3+/Tm3+ DOPED AlF3-BASED FLUORIDE GLASS

A complete set of spectroscopic parameters, including Judd-Ofelt parameters, radiative transition probabilities, radiative lifetime, branching ratios and integrated absorption cross section, have been calculated for Tm³⁺- doped fluoroaluminate (AYF) glass, based on the measured absorption spectra. The mechanism of Tm³⁺→Tm³⁺ and Yb³⁺\Leftrightarrow Tm³⁺ energy transfers and fluorescence properties have been investigated in both Tm³⁺ single-doped and Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ double-doped AYF glasses. The cross-relaxation process, ³F₄+³H₆→2³H₄, is proved, which makes the optimum Tm³⁺ concentration of 1.77μm fluorescence (³H₄→³H₆) much higher than 1.45μm fluorescence (³F₄→³3H₄) in Tm³⁺:AYF glasses. In Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺:AYF glasses, a stronger concentration quenching is found for the 476nm emission than that for the 797nm emission, and is discussed under the 970nm-excitation.     

Emission analysis of RE3+ (Eu3+, Tb3+ & Ho3+): B2O3-BaO-LiF/AIF3 glasses

We report here the luminescence spectra of certain rare earth ions (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ & Ho³⁺) doped B₂O₃-BaO-LiF/AiF₃ based on the measurements of emission and decay curves of prominent emission transitions. For both the reference host glasses, FTIR, XRD, DTA-TG profiles have been recorded to understand their structural and thermal properties. Eu³⁺ doped glasses have shown five emission transitions of ⁵D₀ → ⁷F_{01,2,3 & 4} located at 580nm, 593nm, 615nm, 655nm and 704nm respectively with an excitation at λ_exci = 392 nm (⁷F₀ → ⁵L₆). Also under an UV source, these europium glasses have displayed a bright red emission from their surfaces. Tb³⁺ glasses have exhibited four emission bands of ⁵D₄ → ⁷F_6,5,4,3 at 491nm, 547nm, 588nm and 625nm respectively with an excitation at λ_exci = 376 nm (⁷F₆ → ⁵G₆). Intense green emission from the glass surfaces has been noticed upon exposure to the UV source. Prominently bluish-green emission has been noticed from the surfaces of the holmium glasses under an UV source and same emission transition (⁵F₄ → ⁵I₈) at 519 nm with an excitation at λ_exci = 389 nm (⁵I₈ − ⁵G₄) has also been obtained from their measured emission spectra. For all the prominent emissions of the rare earth glasses, decay curves have been measured to compute their lifetimes.

Pressure-dependent luminescence properties of Tb3+-doped K–Ba–Al fluorophosphate glass

Tb³⁺-doped fluorophosphate glass with a composition of P₂O₅+K₂O+KF+BaO+Al₂O₃+Tb₄O₇ was prepared by melt quenching technique and characterized through emission spectra and decay curves as a function of pressure up to 37.7 GPa. The ⁵D₄→⁷F₃, ⁷F₄ and ⁷F₅ emission transitions shift toward lower energy in the order of?4.7,?2.4 and?4.0 cm^?1 GPa^?1, respectively, with increasing pressure. A strong increase in the splitting of the ⁵D₄→⁷F₅ Stark levels with pressure is observed. The decay curves for the ⁵D₄ level are found to be almost perfectly single exponential in the entire pressure range studied. Lifetimes of the ⁵D₄ level are found to decrease strongly from 2564 to 886 μs when pressure is increased from ambient to 37.7 GPa. The pressure dependence of all the derived values of the present study is compared with Tb³⁺ in other glasses.     

Synthesis and luminescence investigation of RE (Eu, Tb and Ce)-doped lithium silicate (Li2SiO3)

Synthesis and photoluminescence (PL) investigations of lithium metasilicate doped with Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Ce³⁺ were carried out. PL spectra of Eu-doped sample showed peaks corresponding to the ⁵D₀→⁷F_j (j=1, 2, 3 and 4) transitions under ultraviolet excitation. Strong red emission coming from the hypersensitive ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺ ion suggested the presence of the dopant ion in structurally disordered environment. Tb³⁺-doped silicate sample showed blue-green emission corresponding to the ⁵D₄→⁷F_j (j=6, 5 and 4) transitions. Ce-doped sample under excitation from UV, showed a broad emission band in the region 350-370 nm with shoulders around 410 nm. The fluorescence lifetimes of Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions were found out to be 790 and 600 μs, respectively. For Ce³⁺, the lifetime was of the order of 45 ns. PL spectra of the europium- and terbium-doped samples were compared with commercial red (Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺) and green (LaPO₄:Tb³⁺) phosphors, respectively. It was found that the emission from the doped silicate sample was 37% of the commercial phosphor in case of the Tb-doped sample and 8% of the commercial phosphor in case of the Eu-doped sample.     

Fluorescence enhancement of Eu3+ by Tb3+ in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)

Photoexcitation of EuCl₃.6H₂O and TbCl₃.6H₂O mixtures in DMSO at various wavelengths brings about a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of Tb³⁺ and a subsequent enhancement in the fluorescence intensity of Tb³⁺ provided that [Tb³⁺] < [Eu³⁺]. The average value of the electronic excitation energy transfer rate constant k₁₀ which was found to be independent of the excitation wavelength, was determined to be about 1.50 × 10³ M^-1 s^-1. Photoexcitation of Tb³⁺ and subsequent population of high energy excited states is accompanied by rapid nonradiative de-excitation processes to the lowest excited state ⁵D₄, which is the origin of the energy transfer process. A lower limit for the value of the reaction rate constant, associated with the transition ⁵D₃ ? ⁵D₄, namely k₅, is of the order of 10⁵ ?10⁶ s^-1. Excitation at conditions leading to the exclusive population of the ⁵D₄ state of Tb³⁺ gave rise to a value of k₁₀ equal to (2.2 ± 0.4) × 10³ M^-1 s^-1 and a critical separation (R₀)_exp between Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ of about 13 Å. A theoretical value of R₀ equal to 14.2 Å was calculated. The energy transfer process does not appear to take place via clear cut dipole-dipole interactions but rather via complex multipole and/or exchange interactions.     

Fast excited-state relaxation of Eu-Eu pairs in commercial Y2O3: Eu3+ phosphors

Low-temperature, dye-laser excitation spectroscopy of commercial Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ phosphors reveals the presence of complex structure in the excitation lines of the ⁵D₀ and ⁵D₁ manifolds. The structure is associated with the presence of Eu³⁺ ion pairs. The kinetics of the emission decay are observed to be drastically different when excitation occurs either at the center or on the wings of the excitation lines, suggesting faster inter-level and/or inter-site energy transfer on exciting into the line wings. Low-temperature vibronic spectra are reported for the ⁷F₀→⁵D₀ transitions for both C₂ and C_3i sites. Evidence is presented for the detection of the highly forbidden ⁷F₀→⁵D₀ transition for the C_3i site.
