Nanomechanical properties inside the scratch grooves of soda–lime–silica glass

Zn_2?2x Mn_2x GeO₄ (x=0, 0.001, 0.01) phosphors were prepared by conventional solid state reaction technique. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), diffuse reflection spectra, photoluminescence (PL), and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy were utilized to characterize the synthesized phosphors. The Mn²⁺-activated Zn₂GeO₄ phosphors exhibit narrow emission band at 532 nm under the excitation of ultraviolet light, which due to the ⁴T₁(⁴G)–⁶A₁(⁶S) transition of Mn²⁺ ions. Also it is observed that there exists energy transfer between the Zn₂GeO₄ host lattice and the activator (Mn²⁺). Under excitation of low-voltage electron beams, Zn₂GeO₄:Mn²⁺ shows strong green emission band dominating at 535 nm, corresponding to the ⁴T₁(⁴G)–⁶A₁(⁶S) emission of Mn²⁺ ions. The emission intensity and chromaticity coordinates of Zn₂GeO₄:Mn²⁺ as a function of accelerating voltage and the filament current were also investigated.     

Theoretical calculations of the optical band positions and spin-Hamiltonian parameters for Yb at the tetragonal Y site of KY3F10 crystal

The six optical band positions and six spin-Hamiltonian parameters [g factors g_∥, g_⊥ and hyperfine structure constants A_∥(¹⁷¹Yb³⁺), A_⊥(¹⁷¹Yb³⁺), A_∥(¹⁷³Yb³⁺), A_⊥(¹⁷³Yb³⁺)] for Yb³⁺ ion at the tetragonal Y³⁺ site of KY₃F₁₀ crystal are calculated from a diagonalization (of energy matrix) method. In the method, the Hamiltonian of energy matrix contains the free-ion, crystal-field interaction, Zeeman (or magnetic) interaction and hyperfine interaction terms and so a 14×14 complete energy matrix for 4f¹³ ion in tetragonal crystal-field and under an external magnetic field is constructed. Diagonalizing the energy matrix, these optical and EPR spectral data are calculated together and the calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values. The signs of hyperfine structure constants A_∥, A_⊥ for the isotopes ¹⁷¹Yb³⁺ and ¹⁷³Yb³⁺ in KY₃F₁₀ are suggested. The results are discussed.     

Atomic beam magnetic resonance investigations in the 2p 2 3 P ground multiplet of the stable carbon isotopes12C and13C

The hyperfine structure seperations Δv andg _J -factors have been measured in the 2p ^{2 3} P states of¹³C(I=1/2) and¹²C(I=0), respectively, using the atomic beam magnetic resonance method. The results are Δv(³ P ₁,¹³C)=4.200 (25) MHz, Δv(³ P ₂,¹³C)=372.593 (25) MHz,g _J (³ P ₁,¹²C)=1.501052 (13), andg _J (³ P ₂,¹²C)=1.501039 (15). After applying corrections due to perturbations by neighbouring fine structure levels one deduces the constants of the magnetic dipole interactionA(³ P ₁,¹³C)=+2.838 (17) MHz, A(³ P ₂,¹³C)=+149.055 (10) MHz. No signs of theA-factors were determined by the experiment; they follow from the known positive sign of the nuclear magnetic moment μ _I of¹³C. CombiningA(³ P ₂,¹³C) with the results of other measurements on¹¹C, yields μ _I (¹¹C)=?0.964 (1) nm.     

Electronic structure and magnetic properties of the compound CeCuIn

Magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power and X-ray photoemission measurements were performed on a polycrystalline sample of CeCuIn. This compound crystallizes in a hexagonal structure of the ZrNiAl type. The magnetic data indicate that CeCuIn remains paramagnetic down to 1.9 K with a paramagnetic Curie temperature of −13 K and an effective magnetic moment equal to 2.5 μ_B. The electrical resistivity has metallic character, yet in the entire temperature range studied here, it is a strongly nonlinear function of temperature. The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power is dominated by a small positive maximum near 76 K and a deep negative minimum at about 16 K. Above 150 K the thermopower exhibits a Mott's type behavior. The positive sign of the Seebeck coefficient in this temperature region indicates that the holes are dominant charge and heat carriers. The structure of Ce 3d_5/2 and Ce 3d_3/2 XPS spectra has been interpreted in terms of the Gunnarsson-Schönhammer theory. Three final-state contributions f⁰, f¹ and f² are clearly observed, which exhibit a spin-orbit splitting Δ_SO≈18.7 eV. The appearance of the 3d⁹f⁰ component is a clear evidence of the intermediate valence behavior of Ce. From the intensity ratio I(f⁰)/[I(f⁰)+I(f¹)+I(f²)] the 4f-occupation number is estimated to be 0.95. In turn, the ratio I(f²)/[I(f¹)+I(f²)]=0.08 yields a measure of the hybridization energy that is equal to 45 meV.     

Studies in crystal structure and luminescence properties of Eu-doped metal tungstate phosphors for white LEDs

The correlation between the crystal structure and luminescent properties of Eu³⁺-doped metal tungstate phosphors for white LEDs was investigated. Red-emitting A_4−3x(WO₄)₂:Eu_x³⁺ (A=Li, Na, K) and B_(4−3x)/2(WO₄)₂:Eu_x³⁺ (B=Mg, Ca, Sr) phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reactions. The findings confirmed that these phosphors exhibited a strong absorption in the near UV to green range, due to the intra-configurational 4f-4f electron transition of Eu³⁺ ions. The high doping concentration of Eu³⁺ enhanced the absorption of near UV light and red emission without any detectable concentration quenching. Based on the results of a Rietveld refinement, it was attributed to the unique crystal structure. In the crystal structure of the Eu³⁺-doped metal tungstate phosphor, the critical energy transfer distance is larger than 5 Å so that exchange interactions between Eu³⁺ ions would occur with difficulty, even at a high doping concentration. The energy transfer between Eu³⁺ ions, which causes a decrease in red emission with increasing concentration of Eu³⁺, appears to be due to electric multi-polar interactions. In addition, the Eu-O distance in the host lattice affected the shape of emission spectrum by splitting of emission peak at the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺.     

Modulation spectroscopy using the beam-foil light source

When a beam of ions passes through a thin exciter foil, certain radiation emitted by the beam particles can exhibit time-periodic intensity variations. These variations can be induced by external E and H fields, or they can be the result of the field-free atomic structure itself.Intensity modulations observed so far in beam-foil spectroscopy can be divided into three classes: (1) Quantum mechanical interference of fine structure levels. This is a QM resonance arising from time-dependent populations of emitting states having different transition probabilities. The resonance is induced by external constant electric fields. (2) Initial coherent superpositions of radiating states. This results from the creation of M_L alignment at the instant of excitation by the foil. The modulations are field free and are observed in polarized light. (3) Rotating electric dipole in a magnetic field. When alignment occurs, the intensity of the beam radiation after excitation satisfies the relation I(t) = = I₀[1+Acos(2γHt)] e^?αt. The modulation will be a function of the magnetic field H and the gyromagnetic ratio γ.These effects can be used to study Lamb shifts, g-values, fine structure levels, and interaction processes.     

Theoretical Study of the Dynamic Stark Effect on Dissociation of CsI

The influence of the dynamic Stark effect on the dissociation of CsI is theoretically studied by the time-dependent wave-packet method. After a pump pulse induces a dissociating wave packet that propagates through both the ionic channel X0⁺(Cs ⁺(¹ S ₀)?+?I ⁺(¹ S ₀)) and the covalent channel A0⁺(Cs(² S _1/2)?+?I(² P _3/2)), a Stark pulse is applied to control the diabatic-dissociation dynamics. The first-order non-resonant non-perturbative dynamic Stark effect gives control over the break up, the dissociation probabilities in the two channels being controlled by the delay between the pump and Stark pulses. With a 720-fs delay, the dissociation probability through channel A is greatly enhanced.     

On the spin-orbit splitting of the rare gas-monohalide molecular ground state

The spin orbit splitting of the molecular ground state of two atomsA(² P _{1/2, 3/2}) andB(¹ S ₀) is discussed. If the spin orbit matrix elements do not depend on the internuclear distance, it is sufficient to know any two of the three potentials of the ground state manifold. The third can then be calculated analytically. Data are presented for theA II 1/2 state of F+Ne; (F, Br)+(Ar, Kr, Xe); and Cl+Xe, as well as for theA I 3/2 state of HeNe⁺.     

Synthesis, structure and luminescence properties of Y(V,P)O4:Eu,Bi phosphors

YVO₄:Eu³⁺-based red-emitting phosphors with the compositions of Y_0.95−xVO₄:0.05Eu³⁺,xBi³⁺ (x=0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.09) and Y_0.90(V_1−zP_z)O₄:0.05Eu³⁺,0.05Bi³⁺ (z=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.0) were synthesized by the high temperature solid-state method. The as-prepared phosphors have the similar tetragonal phase structure and their morphologies varied with the relative content ratio of V to P. The photoluminescence spectra for the as-synthesized phosphors show that a dominant red emission line at around 619 nm, which is due to the Eu³⁺ electric dipole transition of ⁵D₀-⁷F₂, is observed under different excitation wavelengths (254 and 365 nm). Further, the emission intensities of ⁵D₀-⁷F₂ transition upon 365 nm excitation increase sharply owing to the Bi³⁺ doping. Energy transfer process, luminescent lifetime and quantum efficiency for the selected Y_0.90(V_1−yP_y)O₄:0.05Eu³⁺,xBi³⁺phosphors were also studied in detail.     

Quenching of SO2 phosphorescence by a magnetic field

Phosphorescence excitation spectra of the ã³B₁← [Xtilde]¹A₁ transition of SO₂ were measured in the absence and presence of a magnetic field (B = 0?44 T², P(SO₂) = 0?7 Torr). The absorption and phosphorescence excitation spectra of the ã³B₁← [Xtilde]¹A₁ transition of SO₂ measured in the absence of a magnetic field show that the relative intensity of the bands of the phosphorescence excitation spectrum is smaller than the relative intensity of the corresponding bands of the absorption spectrum beginning with the (0, 2, 0) band. In the presence of a magnetic field, the intensity of the phosphorescence excitation band falls, for ν_exc> 26400 cm^-1. Under the direct excitation of the ã³B₁← [Xtilde]¹A₁ transition, the dependence of the magnetic quenching of the SO₂ phosphorescence on the excitation frequency (ν_exc) was studied at P(SO₂) = 0?7 Torr and B = 0?44 T. The dependence of the magnetic field effect on ν_excshows that only the vibrationally excited levels of the ã³B₁ state are sensitive to an external magnetic field. The magnetic field strength and the pressure dependence of the magnetic field effects were studied under indirect excitation of the ã³B₁← [Xtilde]¹A₁ transition at λ_exc = 308 nm. The magnetic field and the pressure dependence were investigated for pure SO₂ and for SO₂ + RH (RH n-C₅H₁₂) mixtures. It was found that the magnetic field effect was saturated at B ? 0?25 T. The saturation value (Gr = l(0?3 T)/l(0)) increases with increasing gas pressure. The magnetic field, the pressure and the excess vibrational energy (ν_excess) dependence of the magnetic quenching of SO2 phosphorescence show that the data observed can be explained by an indirect mechanism within the framework of a low level density approximation.     

Optical-Optical Double Resonance Spectroscopy of the 1g(P1)-AΠ (1u)-XΣg Transition of I2

Optical-optical double resonance spectroscopy was used to study the 1_g(³P₁) ion-pair state of I₂ correlating to I⁻(¹S)+I⁺³P₁) at the dissociation limit. We gained access to the 1_g(³P₁) state though the A³Π (1_u) state in the (1+1) photon-excitation scheme. The pump laser excited the A³Π (1_u)-X¹Σ_g⁺ transition at a fixed frequency for state selection. The probe laser was scanned to detect the 1_g(³P₁)-A³Π (1_u) resonance by monitoring the ultraviolet emission from the 1_g(³P₁) state at 278 nm. The 1_g(³P₁) state was observed in a vibrational progression consisting of P and R doublets. An energy level analysis was carried out for the 1_g(³P₁) state in the 0≤ v ≤ 14 and 12≤J≤135 range, which led to a set of molecular parameters including the Ω-doubling constant. The Ω-doubling of the 1_g(³P₁) state was discussed by the pure precession model and interpreted to occur through the heterogeneous coupling with the 0_g⁻(³P₁) state correlating to the same ionic asymptote.     

Luminescent properties of KGd1−x(WO4)2:Eux and KGd1−x(WO4)2−y(MoO4)y:Eux phosphors in UV-VUV regions

KGd_1−x(WO₄)_2−y(MoO₄)_y:Eu³⁺_x(0.1?x?0.75, y=0 and 0.2) phosphors are synthesized through traditional solid-state reaction and their luminescent properties in ultraviolet (UV) and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) regions are investigated. Under 147 nm excitation, these phosphors show characteristic red emission with good color purity. In order to improve their emission intensity, the MoO₄²⁻ (20 wt%) is introduced into the anion of KGd_1−x(WO₄):Eu³⁺_x. The Mo⁶⁺ and Eu³⁺ co-doped KGd(WO₄)₂ phosphors show higher emission intensity in comparison with the singly Eu³⁺-doped KGd(WO₄)₂ in VUV region. The chromaticity coordination of KGd_0.45(WO₄):Eu³⁺_0.55 is (x=0.669, y=0.331), while that of KGd_0.45(WO₄)_1.8(MoO₄)_0.2:Eu³⁺_0.55 is (x=0.666, y=0.334) in VUV region.     

Mechanoluminescence Study of Europium Doped CaZrO<Subscript>3</Subscript> Phosphor

Behaviour displayed by mechanoluminescence (ML) in CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ doped phosphors with variable concentration of europium ions are described. When the ML is excited impulsively by the impact of a load on the phosphors the ML intensity increases with time, attains a maximum value and then it decreases. In the ML intensity versus time curve, the peak increases and shifts towards shorter time values with increasing impact velocities. Sample was synthesized by combustion synthesis method with variable concentration of Eu³⁺ ions (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.5 mol%) and characterized by X-ray diffraction technique. The total ML intensity I_T is defined as the area below the ML intensity versus time curve. Initially I_T increases with impact velocity V₀ of the load and then it attains a saturation value for higher values of impact velocities which follow the relation I_T = I_T ⁰ exp.(?V_c/V₀) where I_T ⁰ and V_c are constants. Total ML intensity increases linearly with the mass of the phosphors for higher impact velocities. The ML intensity I_m, corresponding to the peak of ML intensity versus time curve increases linearly with the impact velocities. The time t_m, is found to be linearly related to 1000/V₀. The mechanoluminescence induced by impulsive excitation in europium doped CaZrO₃ phosphors plays a significance role in the understanding of biological sensors and display device application.     

An investigation of theL 2-L 3 Coster-Kronig transition probability for 63≦Z≦96

Nuclear spin polarization in the 4f ¹⁴6s ^{2 1} S ₀ ground state of¹⁷⁵Lu⁺(I=7/2) ions is achieved by optical pumping with the resonance line (¹ S ₀-¹ P ₁,λ=261.5 nm). Nuclear magnetic resonance of the free ions in He buffer gas yields for the magnetic dipole momentμ(¹⁷⁵Lu)=2.2240(11)μ _n (with diamagnetic correction). This value can be used for a more accurate determination of the magnetic dipole moments of other Lu isotopes from knownA factor ratios. A comparison with nuclear induction measurements in solids results in the chemical shiftsδ(LuB₁₂)=?23(5)·10^?4 andδ(LuSb)= ?31(5)·10^?4.     

EPR of Mn2+ doping unannealed single crystal of (La2O3)0.95(CeO2)0.05

X-band room temperature EPR spectra have been recorded for Mn²⁺ ion doping unannealed (La₂O₃)_0.95(CeO₂)_0.05 host crystal. The data are analysed using a rigorous least-squares fitting procedure in which a large number of lines characterized by ΔM = ± 1, Δm = 0 transition, obtained for several orientations of the static magnetic field, are simultaneously fitted. Combined with the knowledge of the absolute sign of the hyperfine interaction parameter. A, the hyperfine Hamiltonian parameters A, B, Q as reported in this paper, are given with their correct signs. The information on the linewidth is used to deduce the deviation of the crystal-field axes of different Mn²⁺ ions from the c axis; on the basis of the model proposed here these deviations are found to be between 0 and 10°.     

Side-hole to anti-hole conversion in time-resolved spectral hole burning of ruby: Long-lived spectral holes due to ground state level population storage

We report time-resolved transient spectral hole burning of Verneuil-grown 20 ppm and ca. 0.6 ppm ruby (Al₂O₃:Cr³⁺) in zero field and low magnetic fields B∥c at 4 K. The hole-burning spectroscopy of the 20 ppm sample implies relatively rapid cross relaxation in the ⁴A₂ ground state on the ∼1 ms timescale both in zero field and in low magnetic fields, B∥c, up to 0.2 T. In the 0.6 ppm sample, side-hole to anti-hole conversion is observed both in zero field and in low magnetic fields. This conversion is caused by population storage in ⁴A₂ ground state levels. Spin-lattice relaxation, on the 200 ms timescale, is directly observed from the time dependence of the resonant hole and anti holes in B∥c, consistent with a very low cross-relaxation rate. However, in zero field cross relaxation in the ⁴A₂ ground state is still a significant relaxation mechanism for the 0.6 ppm sample resulting in hole decay in ∼50 ms.     

A 236 GHz Fe3+ EPR Study of Nanoparticles of the Ferromagnetic Room-Temperature Semiconductor Sn1−x Fe x O2 (x = 0.005)

High-frequency (236 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of Fe³⁺ ions at 255 K are reported in a Sn_1?x Fe _x O₂ powder with x = 0.005, which is a ferromagnetic semiconductor at room temperature. The observed EPR spectrum can be simulated reasonably well as the overlap of spectra due to four magnetically inequivalent high-spin (HS) Fe³⁺ ions (S = 5/2). The spectrum intensity is calculated, using the overlap I(BL) + (I(HS1) + I(HS2) + I(HS3) + I(HS4)) × exp(?0.00001B), where B is the magnetic field intensity in Gauss, I represents the intensity of an EPR line (HS1, HS2, HS3, HS4), and BL stands for the baseline (the exponential factor, as found by fitting to the experimental spectrum, is related to the Boltzmann population distribution of energy levels at 255 K, which is the temperature of the sample in the spectrometer). These high-frequency EPR results are significantly different from those at X-band. The large values of the zero-field splitting parameter (D) observed here for the four centers at the high frequency of 236 GHz are beyond the capability of X-band, which can only record spectra of ions with much smaller D values than those reported here.     

Hyperfeinstrukturuntersuchungen mit einem sphärischen Fabry-Perot-Interferometer mit internem Absorptionsatomstrahl im Tm I- und Eu I-Spektrum

A spherical Fabry-Perot spectrometer with an absorbing atomic beam passing the interior of the interferometer is described. By use of the internal beam it is possible to reduce the amount of material needed for the atomic beam source to a few milligrams per hour. The set-up is especially suitable for hyperfine structure and isotope shift investigations. For the photoelectric recording of the signal the geometrical distance between the spherical mirrors was changed using the piezoelectric effect. In order to reduce the influence of the intensity distribution of the light sourceI ₀(λ) the ratio [I ₀(λ)-I(λ)]/I ₀(λ) was measured, whereI ₀(λ)=I ₀(λ) exp (—V·k(λ)·d) is the observed intensity with absorbing atoms between the mirrors, andV the increase of the absorption signal due to the multiple reflections of the light through the atomic beam (V≈75). For an accurate and easy evaluation of the data this ratio was measured by a digital voltmeter and punched into paper tape. The small line width of the absorption profile obtained in the experiments with Tm and Eu enabled us to measure hyperfine distances of the order of 5 · 10^?3 cm^?1 to 20 · 10^?3 cm^?1 with an error not exceeding 0.1 · 10^?3 cm^?1 in some cases. From the measurements theA-factors for five levels of the configurations 4f ¹³6s 6p and 4f ¹²5d 6s ² in Tm I and theA- andB-factors of the stable Eu isotopes of the 4f ⁷ 6s 6p y ⁸ P _5/2level in Eu I were determined.     

A reddish orange-emitting stoichiometric phosphor K3Eu(PO4)2 for white light-emitting diodes

A series of Eu³⁺ activated K₃Y_1?xEu_x(PO₄)₂ phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The structures and photoluminescent properties of these phosphors were investigated at room temperature. The results of XRD patterns indicate that these phosphors are isotypic to the monoclinic K₃Y(PO₄)₂ or K₃Eu(PO₄)₂. The excitation spectra indicate that these phosphors can be effectively excited by near UV (370–410 nm) light. The orange emission from transition ⁵D₀–⁷F₁ is dominant, and the peak value ratio of ⁵D₀–⁷F₁/⁵D₀–⁷F₂ is 1.44. The emission spectra exhibit strong reddish orange performance (CIE chromaticity coordinates: x=0.63, y=0.36), which is due to the ⁵D₀–⁷F_J transitions of Eu³⁺ ions. The relationship between the structure and the photoluminescent properties of the phosphors was studied. The absence of concentration quenching of Eu³⁺ was observed in K₃Y_1?xEu_x(PO₄)₂. K₃Eu(PO₄)₂ has potential application as a phosphor for white light-emitting diodes.
