Laser spectroscopic studies of Tb3+-doped oxyfluoroborate glass

Tb3+-doped oxyfluoroborate glasses have been prepared for different concentrations of Tb. The absorption, fluorescence and photoacoustic spectra of these have been recorded and studied. It is marked that the fluorescence intensity of different fluorescence transitions decreases with the increase of Tb ion concentration in the glass. This quenching at higher concentration is due to the energy transfer among the excited and nearest neighbor unexcited Tb ions in the glass. The lifetime measurement confirms it, as the lifetime of a particular state was found to decrease with the increase of Tb ion concentration in the glass. The mechanism of the energy transfer process was determined to involve quadrupole quadrupole interaction. We have also studied the energy transfer from Tb3+-->Pr3+ when both the rare earths are doped together in the glass. A decrease in the lifetime of the 5D4 level of Tb3+ with the increase of Pr3+ concentration confirms this.     

Optical studies of Eu3+ doped oxyfluoroborate glass

Rare earth doped oxyfluoroborate glasses have been prepared with different concentration of Eu3+. The UV-Vis/NIR optical absorption, laser induced fluorescence and photoacoustic spectra of Eu3+ in this host have been studied. Different optical parameters such as oscillator strength, Judd-Ofelt intensity parameter, stimulated emission cross-section, transition probability, branching ratio and radiative lifetime, etc. have been calculated. Lifetime of the 5D0 level at various concentrations of Eu3+ have been used to explain the concentration dependent fluorescence quenching. The mechanism of quenching was found to be dipole-dipole. Energy transfer have also been studied from Eu3+ to Pr3+ in sample with 1 mol% (Eu3+) + 1 mol% Pr3+.     

Strong blue emission from Pr3+ ions through energy transfer process from Nd3+ to Pr3+ via Yb3+ in tellurite glass

Energy transfer excited upconversion emission in Nd3+/Pr3+-codped tellurite glass have been studied on pumping with 800 nm wavelength. The upconversion emission bands from Pr3+ ion are observed at the 488, 524, 546, 612, 647, 672, 708 and 723 nm due to the (3P0 + 3P1)-->3H4, 3P1-->3H5, 3P0-->3H5, 3P0-->3H6, 3P0-->3F2, 3P1-->3F3, 3P0-->3F3 and 3P0-->3F4 transitions, respectively. The addition of ytterbium ions (Yb3+) on the upconversion emission intensity is also studied and result shows an eight times enhancement in the upconversion intensity at 488 nm from Pr3+ ions. The pump power and concentration dependence studies are also made. It is found that Yb3+ ions transfer its excitation energy to Nd3+ from which it goes to Pr3+. No direct transfer to Pr3+ is seen. This is verified by codoping Nd3+ and Pr3+ into the host.     

Gas-phase reactions of atomic lanthanide cations with D2O: room-temperature kinetics and periodicity in reactivity.

Reactions of atomic lanthanide cations (excluding Pm+) with D2O have been surveyed in the gas phase using an inductively coupled plasma/selected-ion flow tube (ICP/SIFT) tandem mass spectrometer to measure rate coefficients and product distributions in He at 0.35+/-0.01 Torr and 295+/-2 K. Primary reaction channels were observed corresponding to O-atom transfer, OD transfer and D2O addition. O-atom transfer is the predominant reaction channel and occurs exclusively with Ce+, Nd+, Sm+, Gd+, Tb+ and Lu+. OD transfer is observed exclusively with Yb+, and competes with O-atom transfer in the reactions with La+ and Pr+. Slow D2O addition is observed with early lanthanide cation Eu+ and the late lanthanide cations Dy+, Ho+, Er+ and Tm+. Higher-order sequential D2O addition of up to five D2O molecules is observed with LnO+ and LnOD+. A delay of more than 50 kcal mol(-1) is observed in the onset of efficient exothermic O-atom transfer, which suggests the presence of kinetic barriers of perhaps this magnitude in the exothermic O-atom transfer reactions of Dy+, Ho+, Er) and Tm+ with D2O. The reaction efficiency for O-atom transfer is seen to decrease as the energy required to promote an electron to make two non-f electrons available for bonding increases. The periodic trend in reaction efficiency along the lanthanide series matches the periodic trend in the electron-promotion energy required to achieve a d1s1 or d2 excited electronic configuration in the lanthanide cation, and also the periodic trends across the lanthanide row reported previously for several alcohols and phenol. An Arrhenius-like correlation is also observed for the dependence of D2O reactivity on promotion energy for early lanthanide cations, and exhibits a characteristic temperature of 2600 K.     

Luminescence Properties of Dy3+ Doped EuAl3(BO3)4 Crystals

EuAl3(BO3)4 and Dy3+:EuAl3(BO3)4 crystals were synthesized and their luminescence properties were studied. The EuAl3(BO3)4 crystals have strong red emission. In the Dy3+ doped EuAl3(BO3)4 crystals, the Dy3+ strongly sensitized the luminescence of the Eu3+. A resonance mechanism of the energy transfer was suggested. The optimum Dy3+ concentration of the sensitization effect was 0.2. When the Dy3+ concentration was higher than 0.2, the quick drop of the Eu3+ 613 nm emission for DyxEu1-xAl3(BO3)4 was attributed to the Dy3+ concentration quenching effect.

Luminescence and energy transfer of Ce~(3+) and Dy~(3+) in BaLaB_9O_(16)

Under the excitation of UV light, the composition dependence of luminescence properties of Ce3+ and Dy3+ in BaLaB9O16 has been studied.

Photoluminescence and energy transfer studies of Dy(3+)-doped fluorophosphate glasses

Dy(3+)-doped fluorophosphate glasses with composition (in mol%) (56-x/2)P(2)O(5)+17K(2)O+(15-x/2)BaO+8Al(2)O(3) + 4AlF(3)+ xDy(2)O(3), x=0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 1.0 and 2.0, have been prepared by melt quenching technique. The luminescence spectra and lifetimes of (4)F(9/2) level of Dy(3+) ions in these glasses have been measured using the 457.9 nm line of argon ion laser as an excitation source. The free-ion calculation and Judd-Ofelt analysis have been performed. The room temperature emission spectra corresponding to (4)F(9/2)-->(6)H(J) (J=7/2, 9/2, 11/2, 13/2 and 15/2) transitions of Dy(3+) ions were measured. The fluorescence decay from (4)F(9/2) level have been measured by monitoring the intense (4)F(9/2)-->(6)H(13/2) transition. The lifetime of the decay is obtained by taking the first e-folding times of the decay curves and is found to decrease with increase in Dy(3+) ions concentration due to concentration quenching. The decay curves are found to be perfectly single exponential for samples with low Dy(3+) ion concentration. The non-exponential decay curves observed for higher concentrations are well fitted to the Inokuti-Hirayama model for S=6, which indicates that the energy transfer between the donor and acceptor is of dipole-dipole nature. The energy transfer parameter and donor to acceptor interaction increases with Dy(3+) ions concentration due to increase of energy transfer from Dy(3+) (donor) to unexcited Dy(3+) (acceptor) ions.

Energy transfer characteristics of the hydrogen peroxide induced Ce3+-Ce4+ mixture

Luminescence of Ce3+ in the hydrogen peroxide induced sulfuric acid solutions was observed to be quenched by Ce4+ ions in the solution by energy transfer due to electric dipole interaction between Ce3+ and Ce4+. A systematic investigation of the energy transfer characteristics of Ce3+-Ce4+ mixture has been made by measuring the absorption, luminescence and excitation spectra at room temperature. The effect of the concentration of Ce3+ on the energy transfer process has been also studied and the critical transfer distance (Ro) has been calculated considering F?rster type interaction between the ions and found to be 8.7 A for the mixture of 1 x 10(-4) mol 1(-1) Ce3+ and 3 x 10(-4) mol l(-1) Ce4+.     

Spectroscopy and upconversion of Dy3+ doped in sodium zinc phosphate glass

Optical absorption and fluorescence spectra of Dy3+ doped in sodium zinc phosphate glasses have been reported. Judd-Ofelt theory has been applied to analyze the spectra and determine the optical parameters such as transition probabilities, radiative lifetime, stimulated emission cross-section, etc. The fluorescence intensity of Dy3+ corresponding to 4F9/2-->6H13/2 transition increases with increasing concentration of Dy3+ but at higher concentrations, concentration quenching is observed. The radiative lifetime of the 4F9/2 level at 1 mol% concentration of Dy3+ in this host is found to be 541 micros. Emission corresponding to 4F9/2-->6H13/2 transition (570 nm) is observed on excitation with NIR radiation due to upconversion. An attempt is made to explain this observation.

Study on the co-luminescence system of Dy-Gd-1,6-bis(1'-phenyl-3'-methyl-5'-pyrazol-4'-one)hexanedionecetyltrimethylammonium bromide and its analytical application

Dy-1,6-bis(1'-phenyl-3'-methyl-5'-pyrazol-4'-one)hexanedione-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (Dy-BPMPHD-CTMAB) ion association system has strong fluorescence intensity. In this system, some rare earth ions such as Gd3+, Y3+ and La3+ can exert a fluorescence enhancement effect, leading to a newly found co-luminescence system. From this, a rapid, simple and sensitive method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Dy3+. The results indicate that the fluorescence intensity of the system is linearly related to the concentration of Dy3+ in the range 1.0 x 10(-7)-1.2 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) and the detection limit (S/N = 3) is 3.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1). The luminescence mechanism of the system is discussed.

Gas-phase reactions of atomic lanthanide cations with CO2 and CS2: room-temperature kinetics and periodicities in reactivity

Gas-phase reactions of atomic lanthanide cations (excluding Pm+) have been surveyed systematically with CO2 and CS2 using an inductively coupled plasma/selected-ion flow tube (ICP/SIFT) tandem mass spectrometer. Observations are reported for reactions with La+, Ce+, Pr+, Nd+, Sm+, Eu+, Gd+, Tb+, Dy+, Ho+, Er+, Tm+, Yb+, and Lu+ at room temperature (295 +/- 2 K) in helium at a total pressure of 0.35 +/- 0.02 Torr. The observed primary reaction channels correspond to X-atom transfer (X = O, S) and CX2 addition. X-atom transfer is the predominant reaction channel with La+, Ce+, Pr+, Nd+, Gd+, Tb+, and Lu+, and CX2 addition occurs with the other lanthanide cations. Competition between these two channels is seen only in the reactions of CS2 with Nd+ and Lu+. Rate coefficient measurements indicate a periodicity in the reaction efficiencies of the early and late lanthanides. With CO2 the observed trends in reactivity across the row and with exothermicity follow trends in the energy required to achieve two unpaired non-f valence electrons by electron promotion within the Ln+ cation that suggest the presence of a kinetic barrier, in a manner much like those observed previously for reactions with isoelectronic N2O. In contrast, no such barrier is evident for S-atom transfer from the valence isolectronic CS2 molecule which proceeds at unit efficiency, and this is attributed to the much higher polarizability of CS2 compared to CO2 and N2O. Up to five CX2 molecules were observed to add sequentially to selected Ln+ and LnX+ cations.
