Holographic Storage Properties of In：Fe：Mn：LiNbO3 Crystals

In:Fe:Mn:LiNbO3(LN) crystals were grown in air atmosphere by Czochralski method with different concentration of In (0,1,2,3 mol%) in the melts,while the contents of Fe2O3 and MnO were 0.1 and 0.5 mol%,respectively. The location of doping ions was analyzed by Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra and differential thermal analysis. The diffraction efficiency (η),writing time (τw) and erasure time (τe) of the crystals were measured by two-beam coupling experiment. The dynamic range and photorefractive sensitivity have also been calculated. The results showed that with the increase of In ions in the melt,the absorption edge of In:Fe:Mn:LN crystal shifts to the violet firstly and then makes the Einstein shift,the Curie temperature of crystal increases firstly and then decreases,the storage ratio speeds up,diffraction efficiency decreases,and dynamic range and photorefractive sensitivity increase. The mechanism of holographic storage properties of In:Fe: Mn:LN crystal with different doping concentration of In3+ was investigated,suggesting the In: Fe:Mn:LN crystals are excellent holographic storage materiel with better synthetical properties than Fe:Mn:LN crystals.     

Influence of Oxidation and Reduction Treatments on the Photorefractive Properties of Mg：In：Fe：LiNbO3 Crystals

A series of Mg:In:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals were grown by Czochralski technique; their absorption spectra and photo scattering resistance ability after oxidation or reduction treatment were measured by light spot distortion method, and their response time and exponential gain coefficient were tested by two-beam coupling experiment. Besides, the effective carrier concentration has been calculated. The results showed that the absorption edges of reduced and oxidized crystals are respectively shifted to violet and Einstein compared with those of the growth state crystal. From oxidation state to growth state to reduction state of the samples, the photo scattering resistance ability and response time decrease while the exponential gain coefficient and concentration of effective carriers increase. The reduction treatment was necessary for the Mg:In:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals to enhance their photorefractive properties.     

Optical Properties of Ce-Doped Lithium Niobate Crystals with Various Li/Nb Ratio

Ce-doped lithium niobate （LiNbO3） single crystals were grown from the melts with various Li/Nb molar ratios （0.750, 0.850, 0.946, 1.100, 1.250 and 1.380） by Czochralski method, while doping concentration of Ce was 0.1 mol%. Infrared spectra （IR） and Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra （UV） of the crystals were measured to investigate the location of Ce ions and defect structure in crystals. The writing time, erasing time, photorefractive sensitivity and dynamic range were measured by two-wave coupling equipment. The results showed that Ce takes the place of Li lattice site, and the LiNbO3 crystal grown from the melt with Li/Nb ratio of 1.250 is stoichiometric crystal, which has the best properties due to the synergistic effect of Ce ion and Li/Nb ratio. Also the influence of various Li/Nb ratios on the defect structure and optical properties of the crystal was reported.     

Upconversion Properties of LiNbO_3 Single Crystals Co-doped with Ho and Yb

The IR-to-visible upconversion fluorescent crystals, Yb:Ho:LiNbO3, with a constant Ho3+ concentration (0.1 mol%) and different doping concentrations of Yb3+ (0.5, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 mol%) are synthesized by Czochralski method in air atmosphere. X-ray diffraction shows that the obtained crystal is a single phase of LiNbO3 and the rare-earth ions occupied the Li+ or Nb5+ sites instead of the interstitial sites. Under 980 nm excitation, green and red emission bands due to the Ho3+ (5S2, 5F4)/5I8 and Ho3+ 5F5/5I8 energy transitions are observed in these samples, respectively. Power dependence studies on these samples with different Yb3+ dopant concentrations indicate that the red and green emissions are based on a two-photon process. The intensities of the red and green upconversion fluorescence increase with Yb3+ ions of 0~2.0 mol% because of an increased Yb3+ sensitization, but decrease at higher concentrations owing to the back-energy transfer between the Yb3+ and Ho3+ ions.     

Formation Enthalpy Calculation of Oxygen Vacancy Defect in Doped Lithium Niobate Crystals

The relationship between temperature and oxygen vacancy concentration is deduced in this paper. Based on the data of thermal weight-loss experiment, the formation enthalpies of congruent and several doped LN crystals have been calculated. It was found that the formation enthalpy of oxygen vacancies can be decreased evidently by doping valence-changeable ions. The experimental results were discussed and a new reduction process of the photorefractive LN crystal at a relatively low temperature was proposed, and the reduced crystals showed a good effect in practical use.     

Researches on the Growth Habit and Optical Properties of Fe^3＋ Ion Doped KDP Crystal

During the process of KDP crystal growth,metal ions strongly affect the growth habit and optical properties of KDP single crystal. In this paper,KDP crystals were grown from an aqueous solution doped with different concentration of Fe3+ dopant by traditional temperature-reduction method and "point-seed" rapid growth method. Furthermore,we examined the light scatter and measured the transmission of these KDP crystals. It is found that the dopant of Fe3+ ion can improve the stability of the KDP growth solution when its concentration is less than 30 ppm. The effects of Fe3+ ion on the growth habit and optical properties of KDP crystal are also obvious.     

Tuning of NaTaO_3 Band Structure through Mn~（2＋） Ion Doping and the Enhanced Visible Light Response

Pure and Mn-doped NaTaO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple hydro- thermal method. XRD and XPS results suggested that manganese ions were successfully doped into the NaTaO3 crystalline in Mn2＋ state. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra revealed the obvious red-shift in the series of manganese doped NaTaO3 nanoparticles, resulting in a decrease in the band gap of NaTaO3 with the increase of Mn2＋ doping concentration. The photo-degradation experiment indicated that manganese doped NaTaO3 showed good photocatalytic performance and methylene blue（MB） degradation is improved with lower doping concentration of manganese ions under visible light. The simulation of energy band structure by density functional theory unfolded that the substitution of Ta5＋ ions by Mn2＋ ions resulted in an intermediate band（IB） below the bottom of the conduction band（CB）, which was mainly attributed to the state of Mn 3d.     

A study on the reduction behayior of Fe_2(MoO_4)_3 with a combined in-situ temperature-programmed reduction- Mossbauer spectroscopic technique

In H2/N2 atmosphere, the reduction behavior of the stoichiometric compound, Fe2(MoO4)3, was studied by in-situ Mossbauer spectroscopy (in-situ MBS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the reduction products, β-FeMoO4, Mo4O11, MoO2, Fe3O4, Fe2Mo3O8, Fe and Mo, as well as iron-molybdenum alloys, were formed subsequently when the reduction temperature was raised. It was found that when Mo6+ were reduced to Mo4+, Fe2+ were oxidized to Fe3+. Due to the interactions among the metal ions and the electron transfers, the reduction processes of the metal ions in Fe2(MoO4)3 are very complex. According to the results of XRD and MBS obtained at various TPR stages, the reaction equations for the reduction stages were proposed. The Mossbauer spectrum of an intermediate species, Fe2Mo3O8, was found to exhibit two doublets, with I.S.=0.90mm/s and Q.S. =0.58 mm/s, and I.S. = 1.02mm/s and Q.S. = 1.04mm/s, respectively.     

Photocatalytic and Photoelectronic Properties of Anatase TiO2 Modified by Cu Ions Plasma and Its Theoretic Study by the First Principle Study

<正>Highly ordered anatase titania nanotube arrays (TiNT) were fabricated by anodic oxidation. SEM analysis method was used to characterize the morphology of the prepared samples. TiNT samples doped with Cu ions were prepared by home-made Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc ions sources (MEVVA, BNU, China) implanter. Photo-electric response and methyl orange decomposition ability of implanted samples under UV and visible light were tested, and the results indicated that the performance of Cu/TiNT enhanced significantly under visible light; it was noteworthy that the photocurrent density of A-Cu/TiNT was 0.102 mA/cm~2, which was 115 times that of pure TiNT, and degradation ability of TiNT also strongly enhanced under visible light. In a word, the absorption spectrum of implanted anatase titania shifted to a longer wavelength region. Theoretic study on Cu-doped anatase based on density functional theory was carried out in this paper to validate the experiment results. The calculation results are depicted as follows: Intermittent energy band appeared around the Fermi energy after doping with Cu metal, the width of which was 0.35 eV and the location of valence and conduction bands shifted to the lower energy level by 0.22 eV; more excitation and jump routes were opened for the electrons. The narrowed band gaps allowed the photons with lower energy (at longer wavelength, such as visible light) to be absorbed, which accorded well with the experimental results.     

Growth and Crystal Structure of YbAl3（BO3）4

1 INTRODUCTION With the development of high power InGaAs laser diode (LD) as pump sources, the Yb3+-doped laser crystals have received much attention. Due to the simple energy level structure of the Yb3+ ions, the Yb3+-doped laser crystals have no concentration quenching, and have high quantum efficiency and low quantum defects even at high doping concentration of the Yb3+ ions[1, 2]. Therefore, the Yb3+-doped crystals are good candidates of media in the LD-pumped solid-state laser,…     

Growth and characterization of Fe3+-doped bis(thiourea)zinc(II) chloride crystals

Fe3+-doping at ～10 mol% in aqueous medium during crystal growth by slow evaporation solution method in bis(thiourea)zinc(II) chloride (BTZC) leads to form a new compound C2H8Cl2N4S2Zn0.93Fe0.07 (BTZCF) which crystallizes in orthorhombic structure with centrosymmetric space group Pnma though the parent compound BTZC crystallizes in noncentrosymmetric structure with space group Pn2(1)a. The interesting feature observed in this new crystal is that though it crystallizes in centrosymmetric structure, it exhibits positive SHG result (weak signal), quite likely due to possible surface effects or internal stress. The calculated first-order hyperpolarizability is 1.457×10(-30) esu which is ～5.5 times that of urea. Fe3+-doping enhances the transmittance to a significant extent. Comparison of the thermal analysis results by DSC reveals the incorporation of dopant into the crystalline matrix. The high resolution XRD studies reveal that the crystalline quality is improved considerably when the doping level is reached to ～10 mol%.

不同光滑度立方体氧化铁对液晶电光性能的改善

向列相液晶被广泛应用于液晶显示中,但是由于杂质的存在,会导致液晶的驱动电压变大,增加能耗。 为了降低阈值电压和饱和电压,通常向液晶中添加纳米颗粒来提高电光性能。 本文利用水热法制备了表面粗糙和光滑的两种立方体Fe₂O₃纳米颗粒,其形貌均匀,尺寸约550 nm。 将二者分别掺杂到向列相液晶E7中,结果表明,粗糙立方体Fe₂O₃/E7复合体系具有比光滑立方体Fe₂O₃/E7复合体系和向列相液晶E7更优的电光性能,且在掺杂质量分数为0.4%时,其电光性能达到最优,阈值电压和饱和电压分别降低9.9%和11.6%,对比度增大80%,响应时间降低至6.0 ms。 这归因于粗糙立方体Fe₂O₃具有足够的表面积和表面所带电荷更多,所以会更易吸附体系中的杂质离子和减弱杂质离子的屏蔽作用,从而提高了电光性能。

Luminescence Properties and Crystal Growth of Er/Yb Codoped KGd（WO4）2

1 INTRODUCTION In recent years much interest has been shown in the radiation laser around 1.54 μm for optical com- munications, medical and eye-safe light detecting and ranging applications[1～3]. Emission in the 1.54 μm range can be achieved with Er3 ion through 4I13/2→4I15/2, but the LD-pumping laser efficiency is commonly low owing to the weak absorption in- tensity of Er3 ion. Yb3 ion is often used as a sen- sitizer ion to increase the absorption light and then transfer the en…
