Structure of Y and Zr Segregated Grain Boundaries in Alumina

Grain boundary segregation of Y and Zr in -Al₂O₃ and the atomic structural environment around the Y and Zr atoms have been investigated using high resolution STEM and EXAFS. At dilute concentrations, the Y ions in -Al₂O₃ grain boundaries, on average, are coordinated by 4 oxygens, at a distance of 2.30 Å, which corresponds nearly to the Y-O bond length in cubic Y₂O₃, and Zr ions are coordinated by 5 oxygens at a distance of 2.14 Å, which is approximately the same as the average Zr-O bond length in monoclinic ZrO₂. However, in the EXAFS radial distribution function, the Y-cation and Zr-cation next nearest neighbor shell cannot be clearly identified. These results suggest that Y and Zr at dilute concentrations in -Al₂O₃ occupy grain boundary sites with well defined nearest neighbor cation-oxygen bond lengths similar to those in their parent oxides, but with the next nearest neighbor cation-cation distances varying considerably from site to site. Grain growth can cause grain boundaries to become supersaturated by Y. In this case, both the Y-O nearest neighbor coordination number and the ordering of Y with respect to Al ions beyond nearest neighbor O are increased. This Y-Al distance is the same as that expected for the Y-Al distance when Y substitutes for Al while relaxing the Y-O distance to that in Y₂O₃. This may indicate that as the Y concentration increases, Y begins to occupy near-boundary sites in planes on each side of the geometrical boundary. In these near-boundary planes, the nearest neighbor ordering extends at least to nearest neighbor cations. Nucleation of the YAG phase leads to the depletion of these partially ordered layers.

Eu3+摩尔浓度对Y2O2S:Eu3+,Mg2+,Ti4+红色长余辉材料光谱的影响

用高温固相法制备了Y2O2S：Eu^3 ,Mg^2 ,Ti^4 红色长余辉材料。测量了该材料的余辉曲线,余辉时间为1h以上;由X射线衍射得到晶体结构为Y2O2S.测量了不同Eu^3 摩尔浓度下的激发光谱和发射光谱,得到从^5DJ(J=0,1,2,3)^-7FJ(J=0,1,2,3,4,5)的发射谱线,并得到位于260,345,468和540nm激发峰。由于激活剂饱和效应,Y2O2S：Eu^3 ,Mg^2 ,Ti^4 发射光谱中513．6,540．1,556．4,587．3和589．3nm属于从^5D2,^5D1到^7FJ(J=0,1,2,3,4)跃迁的发射峰随Eu^3 摩尔浓度的增加相对削弱;激发谱包括位于350nm左右属于电荷转移态吸收(Eu^3 -O^2-,Eu^3 -S^2 )的激发主峰和在可见光区位于468,520和540nm属于Eu^3 离子4f-4厂吸收的激发峰。随着Eu^3 摩尔浓度的增加,位于468,520和540nm的激发峰相对增强。     

Ba2+掺杂对Sr3Al2O6:Eu2+红色荧光粉发光性能的影响

采用高温固相法合成了(Sr1-x-yBax)3Al2O6∶3yEu2+红色荧光材料,通过XRD、荧光光谱和热稳定性测试分析,分别研究了Eu2+、Ba2+掺杂对样品的晶体结构、发光性能和热稳定性的影响。XRD测试结果表明,在1 200℃保温3 h条件下合成了具有立方晶体结构、空间群为Pa3的Sr3Al2O6纯相样品,Eu2+、Ba2+的掺入并没有改变其基质晶格的结构类型。荧光光谱分析表明,Eu2+的摩尔分数为4%时,(Sr0.98-yBa0.02)3Al2O6∶3yEu2+样品的发射峰最强,Ba2+的掺入使样品的发射峰发生红移而发射强度降低,且随Ba2+浓度的增加红移越发明显。此外,Ba2+的掺杂提高了Sr3Al2O6∶Eu2+样品的热稳定性。     

Yb：Y3A15O12晶体晶格振动光谱的研究

采用提拉法生长Y3A15O12（YAG）晶体和Yb^3＋掺杂原子数分数分别为5％，10％，15％，20％，25％，50％N100％的Yb：Y3A15O12（Yb：YAG）晶体。系统表征和分析了Yb^3＋掺杂浓度对拉曼光谱的影响。随着Yb^3＋掺杂浓度的增加，晶体的振动模式没有明显的变化，晶体结构没有改变；在370cm^-1和785cm^-1附近，振动吸收峰的半峰全宽逐渐增大。分析得出，Yb抖掺杂浓度对晶体的晶格、对称性、荧光寿命均有影响，从而可能影响到晶体的光谱和激光性能。     

Dy3+和Ce3+共掺Y3Al5O12荧光粉的制备及发光性质

用高温固相法制备了YAG:5%Dy^3+以及(Ce 0.01 Dy y Y 0.99-y)3A15O12(y=0%,1%,3%,5%,7%,9%)荧光粉。XRD结果表明,NH 4Cl、LiCl、H3BO3三种助熔剂比较,添加H3BO3可有效降低YAG晶体的结晶温度,有效阻止中间相YAlO 3的形成。H3BO3做助熔剂在1450℃煅烧6 h制备的Dy^3+和Ce^3+掺杂Y 3Al 5O 12荧光粉具有单一YAG立方相结构,且随Dy^3+掺杂浓度增加,(420)衍射峰逐渐向小角度偏移。在583 nm监测下;与单掺1%Ce^3+样品比较,Ce^3+与Dy^3+共掺样品在342 nm处的吸收均减弱;与单掺5%Dy^3+样品比较,Ce^3+与Dy^3+共掺样品在351 nm处的吸收明显增强。351 nm激发下,随Dy^3+掺杂浓度增加,Ce^3+与Dy^3+共掺样品中Ce^3+在526 nm处的发射强度逐渐减小,而在583 nm处的发射强度先增加后减弱,这说明351 nm激发下,Ce^3+与Dy^3+共掺样品中存在Ce^3+向Dy^3+的部分能量传递。465 nm激发下,Ce^3+与Dy^3+共掺杂样品中只出现Ce^3+的发射峰,且随Dy^3+浓度增加,Ce^3+发光减弱。当Dy^3+离子浓度为3%时,Ce^3+与Dy^3+共掺样品中Dy^3+相对光强达到最大,此时Ce^3+→Dy^3+能量传递效率为15.7%。405 nm激发下,随Dy^3+掺杂浓度增加,合成粉体中Ce^3+的寿命逐渐减小。经计算,Ce^3+→Dy^3+能量传递临界距离为3.464 nm,为电四极-电四极相互作用的共振能量传递。     

Tb3+掺杂Y2O3纳米晶体中Tb3+离子4f5d跃迁及能量传递的研究

采用燃烧法制备了不同Tb3 掺杂浓度和不同粒径的Y2O3:Tb纳米晶体粉末样品,并通过高温退火获得了相应Tb3 掺杂浓度的体材料样品。测量了纳米和体材料样品的发射光谱、激发光谱、X射线衍射谱和荧光衰减曲线,并拍摄了不同粒径样品的透射电子显微镜(TEM)照片。研究纳米Y2O3∶Tb晶体粉末中Tb3 离子的4f5d跃迁发现,由于在近表面的低结晶度环境和颗粒内部的高结晶度环境中Tb3 离子4f5d跃迁对应的激发峰位置不同,不同粒径样品中处于这两种环境的Tb3 离子比例也不同,激发谱的谱线形状存在较大差别,还对Tb3 离子的能量传递进行了研究,发现Y2O3∶Tb晶体粉末中Tb3 的(5D3,7F6)→(5D4,7F0)能量传递类型为受纳米限域效应影响很大的电偶极电偶极相互作用;引起5D4→7F5(543nm)发光浓度猝灭的是不同Tb3 离子5D4能级之间交换相互类型的能量传递,此类型的能量传递受纳米限域效应影响较小。

In this paper we study the thermodynamic properties of Y分子动力学;热力学;扩散;热学YAG, diffusion, elastic constant, molecular dynamicsProject supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No~10744002).2/2/2007 12:00:00 AMIn this paper we study the thermodynamic properties of Y3Al5O12 （YAG） by using molecular dynamic method combined with two- and three-body potentials. The dependences of melting process, elastic constant and diffusion coefficient on temperature of crystal YAG are simulated and compared with the experimental results. Our results show that anion O has the biggest self-diffusivity and cation Y has the smallest self-diffusivity in a crystal YAG. The calculated diffusion activation energies of ions O, Al and Y are 282.55, 439.46, 469.71kJ/mol, respectively. Comparing with experimental creep activation energy of YAG confirms that cation Y can restrict the diffusional creep rate of crystal YAG.

Diode-pumped continuous-wave and femtosecond laser operations of a heterocomposite crystal Yb3+: SrY4(SiO4)3O parallel Y2Al5O12

We report cw and femtosecond laser operations under diode pumping of a diffusion-bonding heterocomposite Yb-doped crystal: Yb3+:SrY4(SiO4)3O parallel Y2Al5O12(YAG paralell SYS:Yb). To show the advantages of this heterocomposite crystal over classical Yb:SYS crystal, we first investigate the high-power cw regime. A cw power of 4.3 W is demonstrated. The femtosecond regime is also investigated, and 1-W-average-power, 130-fs pulses at 1070 nm are produced, which represents, to our knowledge, the first demonstration of an Yb-doped heterocomposite mode-locked laser.     

Picosecond pulses from a cryogenically cooled, composite amplifier using Yb:YAG and Yb:GSAG

A cryogenic Yb amplifier using two laser materials, Gd3Sc2Al3O12 and Y3Al5O12 (YAG), has been used to obtain 70 W average power at 5 kHz pulse repetition frequency; the output was compressed to 1.6 ps, compared with an input compressible to 1.4 ps. The gain broadening obtained by combining two media enables shorter pulses than using Yb:YAG alone but retains the power-scaling advantages of cryogenic Yb:YAG.

Efficient and low-threshold Cr4+:YAG double-clad crystal fiber laser

A significant advancement of cw lasing in Cr4+:Y3Al5O12 (Cr4+:YAG) double-clad crystal fiber grown by the codrawing laser-heated pedestal growth technique was demonstrated at RT. The optical-to-optical slope efficiency of 33.9% is the highest, to the best of our knowledge, among all Cr4+:YAG lasers, whether they are in bulk or fiber forms. The low-threshold lasing of 78.2?mW and high efficiency are in good agreement with the simulation. The keys to the high laser efficiency are twofold: one is the improved Cr4+ emission cross section and fluorescence lifetime due to release of the strain on the distorted Cr4+ tetrahedron, which also mitigates photobleaching in Cr4+:YAG; the other is the improved core uniformity at long fiber lengths. In addition, because of the low threshold, the impact of excited state absorption of the pump light is significantly reduced. The effects of crystal-orientation, self-selected, and pump-dependent linear polarization states were also addressed.

Red, green and blue (RGB) emission doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG) phosphors prepared by non-hydrolytic sol-gel route

An evolutionary optimization process involving combination chemistry was employed in an attempt to develop Y₃Al₅O₁₂ (YAG). The combination chemistry process utilized here consisted the doping of the YAG host with appropriate amounts of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) dopants in a single layer, for use in tricolor white light. The doped YAG was acieved by means of the non-hydrolytic sol-gel route. Four samples were prepared, three of which were mono-doped samples containing 1.0% of a certain lanthanide (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, or Tm³⁺) ion, while the fourth contained the three ions. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometry and photoluminescence. The diffraction pattern of the mono-doped samples synthered at 800 °C for 16 h displayed peaks corresponding to the Y₃Al₅O₁₂ (YAG) phase, while the sample doped with the three ions revealed the presence of a mixture of Y₃Al₅O₁₂ (YAG) and Y₄Al₂O₉ (YAM) phases. The emission spectra of the three mono-doped YAG samples displayed the typical bands of the blue, green, and red emission of the corresponding lanthanide ions. As for the sample doped with the three lanthanide ions; it simultaneously emitted R, G and B lights. The green emission (546 nm) was more intense and narrow in relation to the red and blue emissions, which may be due to differences in the size of the three incorporated ions.     

Synthesis and microstructure analysis of composite Nd:YAG/YAG transparent ceramics

Transparent Nd：YAG/YAG composite ceramics are synthesized by solid-state reaction method using high- purity Y203, A1203, and Nd203 powders as raw materials. The mixed powder compacts are sintered at 1780 ℃ for 10 h under vacuum and annealed at 1450 ~C for 20 h in air. The Nd：YAG/YAG ceramics exhibit a pore free structure with an average grain size of about 30 μm. The microstructure of the Nd：YAG/YAG composite transparent ceramics is studied and there is no interface between Nd：YAG and YAG ceramics. The Nd ion distribution in one grain is also studied, which shows that there is no segregation of Nd ions as in Nd：YAG crystals.

采用溶胶-凝胶法在硅片上制备了掺杂稀土离子Tb~(3+)的SiO_2薄膜,并用荧光分析方法研究了薄膜的发光特性,对发光效果的提升途径做了探索和分析。在245 nm波长的激发下,能够观察到Tb~(3+)的5D4-7FJ(J=6,5,4,3)的跃迁发射峰。对于Tb~(3+)离子的高浓度掺杂体系,在掺入富Si或Al~(3+)离子后,浓度猝灭效应能得到明显改善。同时掺入两种激活剂的样品发光强度较只掺Al~(3+)的样品大了近一倍。此外,氩气氛退火引入氧空位缺陷也能使样品的发光强度有较大提升,氩气氛退火的最佳温度为1 200℃。     

Spectra and lasing properties of Er~(3+),Yb~(3+):phosphate glasses

The effects of Al_2O_3, Yb_2O_3, Er_2O_3 and OH~- on spectral properties of P_2O_5.Na_2O.SrO.Al_2O_3.Yb_2O_3.Er_2O_3 erbium phosphate glass were studied. 5, 8, and 13 mol% Al_2O_3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 mol% Yb_2O_3 and0.05, 0.2, and 0.4 mol% Er_2O_3 were used. It was found that Al_2O_3 can improve fluorescent lifetime ofEr~(3+)ions, but the integrated absorption cross section of Er~(3+)ions decreases with the increase of Al_2O_3concentration. Evaluating from energy transfer efficiency of Yb~(3+)to Er~(3+)and spectral parameters ofYb~(3+)and Er~(3+),we conclude that 6 mol% Yb_2O_3 and 0.4 mol% Er_2O_3 are needed for LD pumped
