碱金属阳离子对[B3O7]型非线性光学晶体结晶习性的影响

本文利用高温拉曼光谱技术和从头计算的方法, 研究了LiB₃O₅和CsB₃O₅晶体高温熔融体的结构, 分析了碱金属阳离子对熔体结构的影响, 以及熔体结构的差异与LiB₃O₅和CsB₃O₅晶体结晶习性的联系. 结果表明: LiB₃O₅和CsB₃O₅晶体高温熔融体中的结构基团 主要为B₃Ø₇和B₃Ø₆两种不同类型的硼氧六元环; 环内BØ₄ 四面体的数量影响了六元环呼吸振动峰的拉曼频率, 随BØ₄四面体数量的增加六元环呼吸振动峰向低频移动; LiB₃O₅晶体高温熔融体中, BØ₄四面体含量相对较多; 然而, 离子半径相对较大的Cs⁺离子却阻碍了熔体中BØ₄四面体的形成, 造成CsB₃O₅晶体高温熔融体中BØ₄/BØ₃比值的降低. 结合LiB₃O₅和CsB₃O₅晶体生长动力学过程的分析 (Wang D, Wan S M et al. 2011 Cryst. Eng. Comm. 13 5239), 阳离子的不同导致高温熔体中BØ₄四面体数量的差异, 被认为是影响LiB₃O₅和CsB₃O₅晶体结晶习性的重要因素, 有效降低高温熔体中BØ₄四面体的数量, 将是实现LiB₃O₅晶体生长的关键条件. 关键词： 硼酸盐晶体 熔体结构 拉曼光谱 结晶习性     

光学碱度对Tb3+掺杂Bi2O3-B2O3玻璃发光性能的影响

采用熔融法制备了Tb³⁺掺杂的Bi₂O₃-B₂O₃系统玻璃,使用激发、发射及拉曼光谱分析了光学碱度与玻璃结构及发光性能的关系,同时绘制了Tb³⁺、Bi³⁺和Bi²⁺的能级图。研究结果表明：Tb³⁺掺杂的Bi₂O₃-B₂O₃玻璃由[BO₃]、[BiO₃]、[BO₄]及[BiO₆]共同组成,且随着光学碱度由0.63增加到0.93,玻璃的结构逐渐疏松。高的光学碱度使部分Bi³⁺变为Bi²⁺,发出571 nm（²P_3/2（2）→²P_1/2）的光,Bi³⁺→Tb³⁺的能量降低。在光学碱度及Tb³⁺、Bi³⁺和Bi²⁺离子的共同作用下,随着光学碱度的提高,玻璃的发光颜色由黄绿色变为白色。     

Dy3+对Tb3+激活硅酸盐氟氧闪烁玻璃发光性能的影响

采用高温熔融法制备了Dy3+或Tb3+单掺和Dy3+/Tb3+共掺硅酸盐氟氧闪烁玻璃。通过对傅里叶变换红外光谱、透射光谱、光致激发和发射光谱、X射线激发发射光谱及荧光衰减曲线的分析,研究Dy3+与Tb3+之间的能量传递关系以及Dy3+对Tb3+激活硅酸盐氟氧闪烁玻璃发光性能的影响。实验结果表明：Dy3+/Tb3+共掺硅酸盐氟氧闪烁玻璃具有较高的密度和良好的可见区透过率,玻璃的网络结构是由[SiO₄]四面体和[AlO₄]四面体连接构成。在紫外光激发时,Dy3+单掺玻璃的发光源于Dy3+的4F_9/2→6H_15/2(483 nm),6H_13/2(576 nm)的跃迁发射,而Tb3+单掺玻璃的发光则源于Tb3+的5D₄→7F₆(489 nm),7F₅(544 nm),7F₄(586 nm)和7F₆(623 nm)的跃迁发射。对于Dy3+/Tb3+共掺玻璃,发射光谱则主要由Tb3+的荧光发射组成。通过对不同波长紫外光激发的发射光谱分析发现,Dy3+/Tb3+共掺闪烁玻璃中存在多种形式的能量传递。在以Dy3+的特征激发452 nm为激发波长时,Tb3+单掺玻璃的发光很弱。但随着Dy3+的引入,通过4F_9/2(Dy3+)→5D₄(Tb3+)的能量传递,Tb3+发光得到敏化增强。Dy3+/Tb3+共掺玻璃的发光强度随着Dy₂O₃含量的增多而增强,Dy₂O₃含量为1 mol%时达到最大,更高Dy₂O₃含量的样品由于Dy3+的浓度猝灭,减少了向Tb3+的能量传递,发光强度减弱。当激发波长减小到350 nm时,Dy3+和Tb3+均被激发到更高的能级6P_7/2(Dy3+)和5L₉(Tb3+),此时除了4F_9/2(Dy3+)→5D₄(Tb3+)的能量传递外,还出现了5D₄(Tb3+)→4F_9/2(Dy3+)的能量回传。Dy3+掺杂浓度较低时,Dy3+→Tb3+能量传递作用较强,Tb3+发光得到敏化增强。随着Dy₂O₃含量的增多,Tb3+→Dy3+能量传递作用增强。当Dy₂O₃含量超过0.4 mol%时,Tb3+→Dy3+能量传递强于Dy3+→Tb3+能量传递,减少了Tb3+的辐射跃迁发光,因此Dy3+/Tb3+共掺玻璃的发光强度开始减弱。由于Gd3+向Dy3+或Tb3+均可进行有效的能量传递,因此在以Gd3+的特征激发274 nm为激发光时,Dy3+/Tb3+共掺玻璃中出现了Dy3+和Tb3+对Gd3+传递能量的竞争。随着Dy₂O₃含量的增多,Tb3+所获得的能量不断减少,同时伴随着Tb3+→Dy3+能量回传和Dy3+之间的无辐射交叉弛豫作用,Dy3+/Tb3+共掺玻璃的发光强度不断减弱。对Dy3+/Tb3+共掺闪烁玻璃中Tb3+的5D₄→7F₅荧光衰减曲线分析还发现,随着Dy₂O₃含量的增多,Tb3+的荧光寿命从2.24 ms缩短到1.15 ms,曲线从单指数形式变为双指数形式,进一步证明玻璃中存在5D₄(Tb3+)→4F_9/2(Dy3+)的能量回传。X射线激发发射光谱显示,Dy3+的引入对Tb3+激活闪烁玻璃的辐射发光具有很强的负面影响,而这种负面影响不足以通过Dy3+→Tb3+能量传递来弥补,因此Dy3+/Tb3+共掺玻璃的辐射发光强度随着Dy₂O₃含量的增多而不断减弱。由此可见,在Tb3+激活硅酸盐氟氧闪烁玻璃中,不宜将Dy3+作为敏化剂,用于增强Tb3+的发光。     

Simultaneous excitation of Ce and Eu ions in Tb3Al5O12

Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (YAG:Ce) and Tb₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (TAG:Ce) both show the typical Ce³⁺ ion luminescence of the allowed Ce³⁺ d–f transition. Eu³⁺ codoping, however, reveals different results for both matrices: in YAG:Ce,Eu, only the luminescence of the Ce³⁺ ion occurs by excitation within the Ce³⁺ absorption bands. Here, the Eu³⁺ luminescence cannot be sensitized by the Ce³⁺ ion. But in TAG:Ce,Eu, both Ce³⁺ and Eu³⁺ luminescence are measured at several excitation wavelengths: an excitation within the Tb-sublattice results in both Ce³⁺ and Eu³⁺ luminescence, which is not surprising as an energy transfer from Tb³⁺ to Ce³⁺ and Eu³⁺ is well known in literature. In addition, an excitation in the lowest 5d level of Ce³⁺ delivers Eu³⁺ luminescence at room temperature. This means that the Ce³⁺ ion can be used as a sensitizer in the TAG lattice that transfers its energy via the Tb sublattice to the activator Eu³⁺.     

Eu3+激活K2CaP2O7荧光粉的制备和发光性质

Sm3+掺杂的SnNb2O6粉体的光谱特性

采用熔盐法制备了Sm³⁺掺杂的SnNb₂O₆粉体, 利用X射线粉末衍射、扫描电子显微镜对其物相和形貌进行了表征, 用激发、发射光谱和荧光寿命对样品的发光性能进行了研究.结果表明:所得样品为单斜晶系的SnNb₂O₆, 在407 nm的激发下, 有较强的橙红色发射, 最强峰位于599 nm, 属于Sm³⁺的⁴G_5/2→⁶H_7/2跃迁.     

Ce3+掺杂SiO2-Al2O3-Gd2O3玻璃的闪烁性能

通常, Ce离子掺杂的低密度玻璃有较高的发光效率, 而高密度的Ce离子掺杂玻璃其发光效率很低. 为了解释这一现象, 采用高温熔融法获得了SiO₂-Al₂O₃-Gd₂O₃三元系统的玻璃形成区, 并在还原气氛下制备了Ce³⁺掺杂SiO₂-Al₂O₃-Gd₂O₃以及SiO₂-Al₂O₃-Gd₂O₃-Ln₂O₃ (Ln=Y, La, Lu)闪烁玻璃, 研究了其光谱和闪烁性能. 测试结果显示: 随着Gd₂O₃含量增加, 玻璃紫外截止波长发生红移, 荧光强度降低, 衰减时间缩短; 加入Lu₂O₃, La₂O₃, Y₂O₃后, 紫外截止波长发生红移, 荧光强度降低, 衰减时间变短; 当Gd₂O₃超过10% mol时, X射线荧光积分光产额从相当于锗酸铋 晶体的61%降低到13%. 荧光强度降低、衰减时间缩短的原因是随着玻璃的紫外截止波长红移玻璃的能带宽度变窄, 使得Ce³⁺离子的d电子轨道开始接近玻璃的导带, Ce³⁺离子受辐射后跃迁到d电子轨道的电子会通过导带与玻璃中的空穴复合, 产生电荷迁移猝灭效应.

On the energy transfer from Tb to Eu in LiTb1−xEuxP4O12

The undoped stoichiometric materials LiTbP₄O₁₂ and LiEuP₄O₁₂ show effective green Tb³⁺ and red Eu³⁺ luminescence, respectively. Both systems are fully mixable, which offers the possibility of examining the energy transfer from Tb³⁺ to Eu³⁺ in the complete system of LiTb_1−xEu_xP₄O₁₂. As the distance of the rare earth ions is large enough to exclude exchange interaction in these materials, only multipolar interaction is to be expected. Dealing only with forbidden f–f transitions it is possible to produce both Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ luminescence at the same time having a suitable Eu³⁺ concentration.

Radiation-induced processes and defects in alkali and alkaline-earth borate crystals

The paper presents the results of a study of the radiation-induced processes and defects in nonlinear optical crystals Li₂B₄O₇ (LTB), LiB₃O₅ (LBO), CsLiB₆O₁₀, KB₅O₈·4H₂O, β-BaB₂O₄. It was revealed that a pulsed electron beam irradiation at 290 K forms the radiation-induced pairs of the ‘vacancy—interstitial atom’ defects in the cation sublattice of these crystals. This gives rise to a creation of metastable electronic (interstitial atom) and hole (small-radius polaron near the cation vacancy) centers in high concentrations. Optical hole-transitions from the local level of the trapped hole centers to the valence band states are responsible for the transient optical absorptions (TOA) of borates in the visible and UV spectral ranges. A sublattice of the weakly bound mobile lithium cations in LTB and LBO favors a spatial separation of the radiation-induced pair defects ‘hole polaron near Li-vacancy—mobile interstitial Li⁰ atom’. Their decay rated by the electron–hole nonradiative tunnel recombination determines a peculiar feature of the TOA decay kinetics in LTB and LBO.     

Highly efficient 1181 nm output from a transversely diode-pumped Nd:KGd(WO4)2 self-stimulating Raman laser

We have achieved high average power Raman output from a compact, diode-pumped, self-stimulating Nd³⁺:KGd(WO₄)₂ Raman laser. Maximum Raman output power of 0.8 W was achieved at a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 2 kHz. The optical efficiency from diode to Raman laser was 14%. By generating extra-cavity second harmonics using a LiB₃O₅ crystal, it was possible to produce 0.2 W yellow output. The laser system was simulated numerically using rate equations and the results obtained were in good agreement with the experimental results.     

Time-resolved luminescence of complex wide-gap oxide crystals under inner-shell excitation

In order to investigate the soft X-ray energy transformation in oxide detectors the optical spectra of several wide-gap oxide crystals were analyzed. The time-resolved luminescence (2.5–10.5 eV) and luminescence excitation spectra (50–200 and 500–630 eV) as well as decay kinetics of luminescence at 10 and 295 K were recorded using the synchrotron radiation from BW3 channel (HASYLAB, DESY). Several analogous features were discovered in the excitation spectra of both intrinsic self-trapped exciton luminescence and recombination luminescence for BeO, BeAl₂O₄, Be₂SiO₄ and AlPO₄ crystals under inner-shell excitation. Simultaneously, the excitation of Ce³⁺-luminescence in scintillating Be₂La₂O₅-Ce crystals significantly differs.     

近紫外光激发黄色荧光粉Ba3Y4O9：Dy3+的制备及发光特性

通过高温固相法合成了一系列Ba₃Y_4-xO₉：xDy³⁺荧光粉材料。利用X射线粉末衍射、荧光光谱和荧光寿命对样品进行了表征。实验表明,样品的激发光谱由一系列线状峰组成,峰值分别位于328,355,368,386,427,456,471 nm。在355 nm激发下,荧光粉在490 nm（⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2）和580 nm（⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2）处有很强的发射,发射光谱的色坐标位于黄光区域。研究了不同Dy³⁺掺杂浓度对样品发光性质的影响,发现样品的发光随着Dy³⁺浓度的增大而增强,但光谱形状基本保持不变,表明Dy³⁺占据了基质中低对称性的Y³⁺格位。当Dy³⁺摩尔分数x=0.08时出现发光强度猝灭现象,浓度猝灭机理为电偶极-电偶极相互作用。样品的发光寿命随着Dy³⁺浓度的增大逐渐减小,进一步证明了Dy³⁺离子之间存在着能量传递现象。Ba₃Y₄O₉：Dy³⁺荧光粉的发光位于黄光区域,有较好的热稳定性,是潜在的白光LED用荧光粉材料。     

YNbO4：Tm3+/Yb3+上转换发光特性研究

Fixed charge and interface traps at heterovalent interfaces between Si(1 0 0) and non-crystalline Al2O3–Ta2O5 alloys

Characterization by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirms (Ta₂O₅)_x(Al₂O₃)_1−x alloys are homogeneous pseudo-binary alloys with increased thermal stability with respect to end member oxides, Ta₂O₅ and Al₂O₃. Capacitance–voltage (C–V) and current density–voltage (J–V) data as a function of temperate show that the Ta d-states of the alloys act as localized electron traps, and are at an energy approximately equal to the conduction band offset of Ta₂O₅ with respect to Si.
