Nd3+ and Yb3+ germanate and tellurite glasses for fluorescent solar energy collectors

The features of fluorescent glass solar collectors are discussed. Combination of Nd³⁺ and Yb³⁺ in high refractive index glasses is suggested as concentration material. Energy absorbed by Nd³⁺ is transferred with high efficiency to Yb³⁺ emitting at 970 nm. The self-absorption of Nd³⁺ is eliminated and long-wavelength emission at 1.06 μm decreased as a result of energy transfer.     

Structural,thermal, and optical properties of Pr3+/Yb3+ co-doped oxyhalide tellurite glasses and its nano-crystalline parts

Nano-crystalized glass-ceramics and ceramics co-doped with Pr³⁺/Yb³⁺ have been successfully prepared by heat treatment of the precursor oxyhalide glass sample synthesized by melt-quench method. Thermal measurement of glass sample shows its glass transition temperature (T_g), and onset crystallization temperature (T_c). Formation of nano-crystals was verified by X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. Values of optical band gap (E_opt) were found to be 2.85 eV and 1.54 eV for direct and indirect transitions, respectively. Up and downconversion emission spectra recorded with 976 and 532 nm laser wavelengths show emission from Pr³⁺ ions. Emission of Pr³⁺ enhances approximately thirty times when Yb³⁺ ion is added with the matrix. The Stark splitting and the intensity of different emission bands increase effectively when we approach to ceramic via glass-ceramic sample. Intense upconversion emission observed by naked eyes has been quantified in terms of standard chromaticity diagram (CIE). Power dependence study shows that the upconversion of NIR radiation to visible takes place mainly via photon avalanche (PA) process. Upconversion mechanisms have been discussed in terms of excited state absorption (ESA) and energy transfer (ET) processes.

Effect of Y2O3 addition on viscosity and crystallization of the lithium aluminosilicate glasses

The melting and crystallization behaviors of lithium aluminosilicate (LAS) glasses containing Y₂O₃ were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and viscosity test. Effects of Y₂O₃ on the viscosity of LAS glasses were investigated from the softening point temperature to melting temperature. It was indicated that the introduction of yttria effectively decreased the melting temperature and viscosity of LAS glasses. The DTA and XRD results showed that yttria controlled the crystallization of LAS glasses by increasing the crystallization peak temperature (T_p) and activation energies (E), and the main crystalline phase of glass-ceramics was β-spodumene.

Confining Excitation Energy in Er3+-Sensitized Upconversion Nanocrystals through Tm3+-Mediated Transient Energy Trapping

A new class of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles are presented that are without Yb³⁺ or Nd³⁺ sensitizers in the host lattice. In erbium-enriched core–shell NaErF₄:Tm (0.5 mol %)@NaYF₄ nanoparticles, a high degree of energy migration between Er³⁺ ions occurs to suppress the effect of concentration quenching upon surface coating. Unlike the conventional Yb³⁺-Er³⁺ system, the Er³⁺ ion can serve as both the sensitizer and activator to enable an effective upconversion process. Importantly, an appropriate doping of Tm³⁺ has been demonstrated to further enhance upconversion luminescence through energy trapping. This endows the resultant nanoparticles with bright red (about 700-fold enhancement) and near-infrared luminescence that is achievable under multiple excitation wavelengths. This is a fundamental new pathway to mitigate the concentration quenching effect, thus offering a convenient method for red-emitting upconversion nanoprobes for biological applications.
