Luminescence and Scintillation Characterization of Cs2NaGdBr6: Ce3+ Single Crystal

Luminescence and scintillation properties of newly discovered bromo-elpasolites Cs₂NaGdBr₆: Ce³⁺ (CNGB: Ce³⁺) are presented. Single crystals of CNGB: Ce³⁺ with dimensions up to Ø7×10 mm³ are successfully grown by the Bridgman technique. X-ray excited luminescence measurements of the grown samples showed a broad emission band in the wavelength range from 365 to 470 nm. It offered an energy resolution of 5.1% (FWHM) at 662 keV for 10% Ce sample. The light output of the investigated samples increases along with cerium concentration. A maximum light yield of ～36,800 ph/MeV is measured for the 10% Ce sample crystal. Under γ-ray excitation, CNGB: Ce³⁺ crystals showed three exponential decay time components. The scintillation mechanism in the sample crystal is presented.     

Impurity Luminescence of Alexandrite Crystals

The luminescence of alexandrite excited by a highcurrent electron beam is investigated. Its spectrum has bands of the impurity ions Cr³⁺ and of the Cr–Cr pairs and also the band at = 492–495 nm. In all of the crystals we have detected chromium ions distributed over two nonequivalent positions, differently in different crystals. It is shown that the color of the crystals and its change on illumination of the crystals with the light of different spectral composition depend mainly on the chromium ions and their distribution over crystalline positions. A noticeable effect of other impurity ions is noted for a number of crystals.     

Luminescence of Cs2NaScCl6:Pr3+: Effects of Changing the Elpasolite Lattice Parameter

Abstract

The luminescence spectrum of Cs₂NaScCl₆:Pr³⁺ (0.1 at.%) has been recorded at temperatures down to 10 K and assigned between 20,800 and 9900 cm^?1. Twenty‐three energy levels of the 4f² configuration Pr³⁺ ion were located and then fitted by the conventional 4f² crystal field calculation, as well as by a configuration interaction assisted crystal field (CIACF) calculation. The latter gave a much better fit. A comparison of the fit for Cs₂NaScCl₆:Pr³⁺ with fits upon the same set of energy levels in Cs₂NaYCl₆:Pr³⁺ and Cs₂NaPrCl₆, where the fifth nearest neighbor of Pr³⁺ is changed and the lattice parameter increases along this series, shows a decrease in the magnitudes of the crystal field parameters, which were also semiquantitatively simulated. Several facets of the emission spectra are interesting, including the observation of weak progressions in the totally symmetric Pr–Cl stretching vibration and the occurrences of the resonance of electronic and vibronic states. The spectra of Cs₂NaScCl₆:Pr³⁺ (1 at.%) differ considerably from those of the more dilute system and show that other species are formed rather than a complete substitution of the Sc³⁺ sites by Pr³⁺.     

Excitation and Emission Spectra of Cs2NaLnCl6 Crystals Using Synchrotron Radiation

ABSTRACT

The visible emission and vacuum ultraviolet excitation spectra of the series Cs₂NaLnCl₆ (Ln = Y, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Er, Yb) and Cs₂NaYCl₆:Ln³⁺ (Ln = Sm, Er) have been recorded using synchrotron radiation at room temperature, and in some cases at 10 K. The excitation spectra comprise features associated with charge transfer, excitation from the valence to conduction band, and impurity bands. No d–f emissions were observed for these Ln³⁺ ions, so that the emission bands comprise intraconfigurational 4f ^N –4f ^N transitions and impurity bands, whose natures are discussed. Theoretical simulations of the f–d absorption spectra have been included. The comparison with data from the synchrotron at Desy enables a comprehensive account of the ground (or vibrationally excited ground for Ln²⁺) states of the Ln³⁺ 4f ^N , Ln³⁺ 4f ^N?15d, and Ln²⁺ 4f ^N+1 configurations relative to the valence and conduction bands of Cs₂NaLnCl₆, for which the band gaps are between 6.6 and 8.1 eV.     

Lifetime of the Cs 6P1/2 state in bcc and hcp solid 4He

We present the first experimental study of time-resolved fluorescence from laser-excited Cs(6P_1/2) atoms isolated in a solid ⁴He matrix. The results are compared to the predictions of the bubble model including the interaction of the atomic dipole with its radiation reflected at the bubble interface. Our results show that in liquid He as well as in the body-centered cubic (bcc) crystalline phase of He the lifetime of excited Cs atoms does not depend on He pressure, in agreement with our theory. When going from the bcc to the hexagonally close-packed (hcp) phase of ⁴He the lifetime is reduced by ≈10% and decreases further with increasing He pressure. We assign this effect to the formation of Cs^*He_n exciplexes, and determine the pressure dependence of the probability that the 6P_1/2 state decays via this nonradiative channel.     

Luminescence of Thin Bi2W2O9 Films

The luminescence spectra of thin Bi₂W₂O₉ films have been investigated. The spectra were separated into elementary components by the Alentsev–Fock method. The radiation band with a maximum at 2.43 eV in the luminescence spectrum of Bi₂W₂O₉ has been assigned to the Frenkel autolocalized excitons. The luminescence bands with maxima at 2.10 and 1.90 eV have been assigned to the emission of the centers whose energy levels are located in the forbidden band. The luminescence of the Bi₂W₂O₉ films is due to the emission of the WO₆ complex.

Synthesis and Luminescence of a Novel Conjugated Europium Complex with 6-Aniline Carbonyl 2-Pyridine Carboxylic Acid

A novel organic ligand, 6-aniline carbonyl 2-pyridine carboxylic acid (HAP), and the corresponding europium complex, tris(6-aniline carbonyl 2-pyridine carboxylato) europium (III) (Eu-AP) have been designed and synthesized. The results showed that Eu-AP was a conjugated complex, emitting strong red luminescence. The lifetimes of ⁵D₀ of Eu³⁺ in the complex were examined using time-resolved spectroscopic analysis, and the lifetime value was 0.55 ± 0.01 ms for solid Eu(AP)₃. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the europium complex had good thermal stability.     

Characterizing SIMS transient effects apparent in matrix secondary ion signals from silicon under 1 keV Cs impact

The low energy Si₂⁻, Si₃⁻ and Si₄⁻ secondary ion signals resulting from Cs⁺ impact on Si appear to scale with the Cs uptake noted over the SIMS transient region in a manner consistent with the electron tunneling model. These populations, particularly Si₃⁻ and Si₄⁻ also exhibit a relative insensitivity to the presence of O (shown once sputter rate variations are accounted for). Profiles that more closely match the expected Si concentration gradient from a native oxide terminated Si wafer present within the SIMS transient region can also be obtained by simply dividing the Si₃⁻ or Si₄⁻ secondary ion intensities by the Si₂⁻ intensities. This suggests a possible alternative route for reducing transient effects present in the negative secondary ion populations from Si wafers.     

Luminescence of defect centres in Hg2Cl2

Abstract

Luminescence in Hg₂Cl₂, crystals excited with UV light is investigated in the spectral region 0.8–2.25 eV. Measurements are performed on as-grown samples and on samples previously exposed to UV light at RT. Six emission bands are found which depend on the concentration of the photochemical entities produced by irradiation of the crystals at RT. It is concluded that infra-red (IR) luminescence of Hg₂Cl₂ originates from crystal defects. The observed emission bands are tentatively attributed to the emission of (HgCI_xBr_3?x)^? and (HgCl_xBr_4?x)^2? complexes formed with residual Br impurities. Centres responsible for IR Hg₂Cl₂ emissions are excited: (i) via excitons of Hg₂Cl₂, (ii) via excited states of isolated Hg₂Br₂ molecules, and (iii) resonantly through the excitation bands of defect centres.

Luminescence centers in Sc2O3

Sc₂O₃ luminescence spectra are studied. The spectra are separated into elementary bands by the Alentsev–Fock method. It is established that the luminescence spectra consist of a number of overlapping bands with maxima at 3.5; 3.05; 2.65; 2.35, and 2.05 eV. The band at 3.5 eV is interpreted as emission of self-localized excitons, and the other bands, as defect-center recombination. L’vov State University, 50, Dragomanov St., L’vov, 290005, Ukraine.

Luminescence Properties of Metal(II)-Diethyldithiocarbamate Chelate Complex Particles and Its Analytical Application

In a suitable pH buffer solutions, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) reacts with some divalence metal ions M(II) to form (M–DDTC) _n chelate complex nanoparticles, which exhibit different luminescence properties. There is a strongest luminescence peak at 470 nm for the Co(II)–DDTC system, three peaks at 330, 470, and 630 nm for the Cu(II)–DDTC system, three peaks at 420, 470, and 630 nm for the Cd(II)–DDTC system, four peaks at 350, 400, 435, and 470 nm for the Ni(II)–DDTC system, two peaks at 408 and 470 nm for the Pb(II)–DDTC system, two peaks at 415 and 470 nm for the Fe(II)–DDTC system. The different luminescence properties of (M–DDTC) _n chelate complex nanoparticles was explained. Under the optimal conditions, the luminescence intensity of (Co–DDTC) _n chelate complex nanoparticles at 470 nm (F _{470 nm}) is linear to Co(II) concentration in the range of 0.012–1.44 μg/mL. The detection limit is 0.0023 μg/mL. A novel luminescence method has been proposed for the determination of cobalt in Vitamin B₁₂ samples, with satisfactory results.

Raman and infrared spectra of doped La8+xSr2−y(SiO4)6O2+δ compounds compared to the ab initio‐obtained spectroscopic characteristics of fully stoichiometric La8Sr2(SiO4)6O2

Vibrational spectroscopy data were used to gain insight into the possible locations of extra oxygen ions introduced into La_8+xSr_2−y(SiO₄)₆O_2+δ compounds to raise their ionic conductivity. Perturbations observed in the Raman and infrared spectra of these compounds with increasing δ were explained by using the ab initio calculation results for the fully stoichiometric (x = y = δ = 0) lattice. This allowed the inference that the extra oxygen ions are incorporated into La O tunnel‐like fragments inherent in the studied structures. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
