Line broadening studies for U and U ions in RbY2Cl7 single crystals

Temperature-dependent line broadening measurements of emission and excitation transitions for two intrinsic sites U(1) and U(2) of U³⁺ ions doped in a RbY₂Cl₇ single crystals as well as of U⁴⁺ ions have been performed. Values of the electron phonon (EP) coupling parameter were determined by a fit of experimentally observed line widths to an equation containing the temperature dependent broadening term due to the Raman two-phonon process. The parameters for U³⁺ ions in RbY₂Cl₇ are larger than those determined for this ion in LaCl₃ host crystals. This is due to shorter M-Cl distances in RbY₂Cl₇ which leads to a stronger interaction of uranium with the chlorine ions and to an increase of covalency. The relatively large value determined for the multiplet of U³⁺ in RbY₂Cl₇ may result from the proximity of opposite parity 5f²6d¹ states. The parameters obtained for the U³⁺ ions are larger than those for U⁴⁺. The latter ones are affected by a stronger crystal-field (CF), however the position of the first 5f²6d¹ or 5f¹6d¹ states, which for U³⁺ is observed at an energy of ∼15,000 cm⁻¹ lower than for U⁴⁺, is the dominating one among the factors influencing the EP coupling strength. The EP coupling parameters for all investigated transitions of the U³⁺ ions are larger for U(2) than for U(1), which results mainly from the larger crystal field strength observed for the U(2) site. The differences in the EP coupling strength of the U³⁺ ions in the U(1) and U(2) sites are in accordance with decay times observed for emission for both sites from the multiplet.

Luminescence of NaGdFPO4:Ln after VUV excitation: A comparison with GdPO4:Ln (Ln=Ce, Tb)

The phosphors NaGdFPO₄:Ln³⁺ and GdPO₄:Ln³⁺ (for Ln³⁺=Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺) were prepared by solid-state reaction technique, the VUV-vis spectroscopic properties of the phosphors were investigated, and we vividly compare the luminescence of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ in the hosts. For phosphors GdPO₄:Ln³⁺, the band near 155 nm in VUV excitation spectrum is assumed to be the host-related absorption, and for NaGdFPO₄:Ln³⁺ the absorption is moved to longer wavelength, near 170 nm, showing the P-O bond covalency increased after fluoridation. The f-d transitions of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ in the host lattices are assigned and corroborated, and it was found that the 5d states are with lower energy in NaGdFPO₄:Ln³⁺ than those in GdPO₄:Ln³⁺. For fluoridation of GdPO₄:Ln³⁺ to NaGdFPO₄:Ln³⁺, the energy change of Ln³⁺ (Ln=Ce, Tb) 5d states is consistent with that of host-related absorption.

A re-investigation of the crystal structure and luminescence of BaCa2MgSi2O8:Eu

Barium calcium magnesium silicate (BaCa₂MgSi₂O₈), a compound whose space group was obtained via X-ray diffraction data, was re-investigated using neutron diffraction techniques. A combined powder X-ray and neutron Rietveld method revealed that BaCa₂MgSi₂O₈ crystallizes in the trigonal space group P3? (Z=1, a=5.42708(5) Å, c=6.79455(7) Å, V=173.310(4) Å³; R_p/R_wp=5.52%/7.63%), instead of the previously believed space group P3?m1. The difference in the two structures arises from the displacement of the O2 atom. Blue emission from Ba_0.98Eu_0.02Ca₂MgSi₂O₈ under 325-nm excitation is ascribed to the 4f⁶5d¹→4f⁷ transitions of Eu²⁺ ions at Ba sites and Ca sites. Site assignment of Eu²⁺ ions in the titled compound was performed by analysis of emission spectra at temperatures in the range of 4.2-300 K.

XRD results showed that CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,A and BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,A (A=Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) perovskites possessed orthorhombic and cubic structures, respectively. The morphologies of all powderswere very similar consisting of small, coagulated, cubical particles with narrow size distributions andsmooth and regular surfaces. The characteristic luminescences of Eu³⁺ ions in CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,A (A=Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺) lattices were present with strong emissions at 614 and 625 nm for ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transitions with other weakeremissions observed at 575, 592, 655, and 701 nm corresponding to ⁵D₀→⁷F_n transitions (where n=0, 1, 3, 4 respectively). In BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ both the ⁵D₀→⁷F₁ and ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transitions at 595 and 613 nm were strong.Photoluminescence intensities of CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ samples were higher than those of BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ lattices. Thisremarkable increase of photoluminescence intensity (corresponding to ⁵D₀→⁷F_n transitions) was observedin CaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ and BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺ if co-doped with Li⁺ ions. An additional broad band composed of manypeaks between 440 to 575 nm was observed in BaZrO₃:Eu³⁺,,A samples. The intensity of this band wasgreatest in Li⁺ co-doped samples and lowest for K⁺ doped samples.     

Optical spectra of trivalent lanthanides in LiYF4 crystal

Systematic calculations of multiplet energy levels of all trivalent lanthanides in LiYF₄ (YLF) crystal were performed using two completely different approaches: diagonalization of the commonly used semi-empirical Hamiltonian and a fully relativistic discrete-variational multi-electron (DV-ME) method which is based on a first-principles configuration-interaction (CI) calculation program using molecular spinors obtained by the discrete-variational Dirac-Slater (DV-DS) calculations. The energy level diagrams within 4fⁿ electron configurations were obtained by the former method, while those including both 4fⁿ and 4fⁿ⁻¹5d¹ configurations were obtained by the latter. Using the explicit many-electron wave functions, the absorption spectra of Pr³⁺, Ho³⁺, and Tm³⁺ in YLF were calculated and compared with the experimental data.     

Reduction of Eu to Eu in MAl2Si2O8 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) in air condition

In general, the reduction of Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ in solids needs an annealing process in a reducing atmosphere. In this paper, it is of great interest and importance to find that the reduction of Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ can be realized in a series of alkaline-earth metal aluminum silicates MAl₂Si₂O₈ (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) just in air condition. The Eu²⁺-doped MAl₂Si₂O₈ (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) powder samples were prepared in air atmosphere by Pechini-type sol-gel process. It was found that the strong band emissions of 4f⁶5d¹-4f⁷ from Eu²⁺ were observed at 417, 404 and 373 nm in air-annealed CaAl₂Si₂O₈, SrAl₂Si₂O₈ and BaAl₂Si₂O₈, respectively, under ultraviolet excitation although the Eu³⁺ precursors were employed. In addition, under low-voltage electron beam excitation, Eu²⁺-doped MAl₂Si₂O₈ also shows strong blue or ultraviolet emission corresponding to 4f⁶5d¹-4f⁷ transition. The reduction mechanism from Eu³⁺ to Eu²⁺ in these compounds has been discussed in detail.
