采用溶胶凝胶-燃烧法合成了系列不同掺杂浓度Y³⁺和Gd³⁺的LaBO₃∶Eu³⁺发光粉,对其结构、形貌和发光性能进行了表征。XRD研究结果表明：发光粉的结构与基质掺杂离子的种类和掺杂浓度有关系。荧光光谱结果表明：适量比例Y³⁺和Gd³⁺离子掺杂将提高LaBO₃∶Eu³⁺发光粉的发光强度。Y³⁺和Gd³⁺离子最佳掺杂摩尔分数分别为1.5%和12.5%。⁵D₀→⁷F₂与⁵D₀→⁷F₁跃迁发射的相对强度比值说明：掺杂改变LaBO₃∶Eu³⁺中Eu³⁺局域环境的对称性。发光性能改变主要受晶体结构、掺杂离子电负性影响。Gd³⁺离子掺杂更有利于发光粉结构稳定性和发光性能的改善。     

Shaped crystal growth and scintillating properties of Yb:(Gd,Lu)3Ga5O12 solid solutions

Shaped single crystals of (Lu_xGd_1−x)₃Ga₅O₁₂ (0.0x1.0) and (Yb_0.05Lu_xGd_0.95−x)₃Ga₅O₁₂ (0.0x0.9) were grown by the modified micro-pulling-down method. Continuous solid solutions with garnet structure and a linear compositional dependency of crystal lattice parameter in the system Yb:(Gd,Lu)₃Ga₅O₁₂ are formed. Measured optical absorption spectra of the samples show 4f–4f transitions related to Gd³⁺ ion at 275 and 310 nm, and also an onset of charge transfer transitions from oxygen ligands to Gd³⁺ or Yb³⁺ cations below 240 nm. A complete absence of Yb³⁺ charge transfer luminescence under X-ray excitation in any of the investigated samples was explained by the overlapping of charge transfer absorption of Yb³⁺ by that of Gd³⁺ ions. For specific composition of Lu_1.5Gd_1.5Ga₅O₁₂ an intense defect-host lattice-related emission, which achieve of about 40% integrated intensity compared with Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂, was found.     

Visible quantum cutting via downconversion in LiGdF4 : Er, Tb upon Er 4f→4f5d excitation

Visible quantum cutting (the emission of two photons of visible light per absorbed photon) is reported for LiGdF₄ codoped with Er³⁺ and Tb³⁺. In this compound visible quantum cutting is achieved through downconversion, i.e., by making use of energy transfer between different lanthanide ions. Upon VUV excitation in the 4f¹⁰5d levels of Er³⁺, part of the excitation energy can be transferred to Gd³⁺ by cross-relaxation, yielding both Er³⁺ and Gd³⁺ in an excited state. This is followed by the emission of two visible photons: one from Er³⁺ due to the ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2 transition, and, after energy transfer from Gd³⁺ to Tb³⁺, one from Tb³⁺ due to the ⁵D_J→⁷F_J transition. It is shown that this process occurs, next to other energy transfer processes from the Er³⁺ 4f¹⁰5d states to Gd³⁺ yielding only one visible photon.     

碱金属离子,Gd3+,Ce3+共掺杂的Lu3Al5O12陶瓷粉体的光学性能

Eu3+掺杂的含氧磷酸盐发光性质

采用固态反应法制备了Gd₃PO₇:Eu³⁺ 和 La₃PO₇:Eu³⁺发光材料,通过X射线衍射和SEM确定了样品的结构和形貌。 在真空紫外光的激发下,Gd₃PO₇:Eu³⁺样品展示了较弱的基质吸收;但在紫外光的激发下,Gd₃PO₇:Eu³⁺显示了比La₃PO₇:Eu³⁺更强的红光发射,其原因是在Gd₃PO₇:Eu³⁺中存在Gd³⁺到Eu³⁺的有效能量传递过程。两个样品的发射光谱峰值位于618 nm,属于Eu³⁺的⁵D₀→⁷F₂跃迁。Eu³⁺在材料中处于较低的格位对称环境,具有很好的色纯度。     

在NaGdF4：Tm3+, Dy3+中Gd3+间的能量迁移及Gd3+-Dy3+能量传递量子效率

基于量子剪裁基本原理,通过光谱技术研究NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺在一个真空紫外光子激发下获得两个蓝色光子的可能性。在这种化合物中,量子剪裁通过下转换,即通过应用不同镧系离子间的能量传递进行。通过对Tm 4f¹²-4f¹¹5d激发,部分能量从Tm³⁺离子5d态直接传递给Gd³⁺,然后在Gd³⁺-Tm³⁺之间发生交叉弛豫,剩余能量从Gd³⁺传递给Dy³⁺,产生两个可见光子发射,一个来自Tm³⁺的¹G₄-³H₆跃迁,另一个来自Dy³⁺的⁴F_9/2-⁶H_15/2跃迁。主要研究获得以NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺为基础的新型具有更高效率,更高稳定性和更强真空紫外(VUV)吸收量子剪裁发光粉的可能性。各种光谱技术,如光致发光、激发和衰减等被用来表征不同Dy³⁺浓度掺杂NaGdF₄中Gd³⁺晶格间能量迁移引起的施主Gd³⁺和受主Dy³⁺之间的能量传递。结果表明Gd³⁺离子之间存在能量迁移,随之交换相互作用引起施主与受主(Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺)之间的能量传递。通过Bursh-tein等人关于激发态的弛豫理论,施主-受主能量传递参数k_DS可以从Gd³⁺的⁶P_7/2发射的衰减计算出。Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺能量传递量子效率也可以得到。NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺和NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺是由水热法制备的,NaGdF₄:Dy³⁺是由文献[4]方法制备的。发射光谱和激发光谱通过自制的VUV光谱仪和F-4500测量。衰减曲线由OPO激光器激发获得Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺之间能量传递量子效率在受主浓度大约在N_A=0.6%时达到最佳值,并且明显地观测到浓度猝灭效应。     

The lowest 4f-to-5d and charge-transfer transitions of rare earth ions in YPO4 hosts

In order to study the high-energy optical transitions i.e. 4f-to-5d (f–d) and charge-transfer (CT) spectra of trivalent rare earth (4fⁿ-series, lanthanide) ions in crystal lattices, the luminescence excitation spectra of the series ions in YPO₄ host lattices are measured in a VUV–UV spectral region of 120–350 nm. The f–d bands are observed with all of the series ions except for the ions with the transition energy higher than the host lattice absorption edge i.e. except for Gd³⁺ and Yb³⁺, and the CT bands are observed except for Ce³⁺, Gd³⁺ and Tb³⁺ (Pm is unavailable).

Jørgensen's formulation which has elucidated the systematic variation of the energies of the f–d and CT transitions through the 4fⁿ-series is modified in a form of a single-electron scheme. The many-electron effects in the scheme are calculated and presented as a numerical table. The energies of the observed f–d and CT bands fit well with those calculated by the use of this table.     

Optimal spectral phase control of femtosecond laser-induced up-conversion luminescence in Sm3+:NaYF4 glass

The spectral phase of the femtosecond laser field is an important parameter that affects the up-conversion(UC)luminescence efficiency of dopant lanthanide ions.In this work,we report an experi-mental study on controlling the UC lmiiinescence efficiency in Sm^3+:NaYF4 glass by 800-nm femtosec-ond laser pulse shaping using spectral phase modulation.The optimal phase control strategy efficiently enhances or suppresses the UC luminescence intensity.Based on the laser-power dependence of the UC luminescence intensity and its comparison with the luminescence spectrum under direct 266-nm fem-tosecond lciser irradiation,we propose herein an excitation model combining non-resonant two-photon absorption with resonance-media ted three-photon absorption to explain the experimental observations.     

Gd3+/Y3+共掺对Nd:CaF2晶体光谱性能的影响

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⁺.     

Gd~(3+),Tm~(3+)和Yb~(3+)掺杂的Y_2O_3微晶中Gd~(3+)离子的紫外上转换发光及其增强的研究

惰性稀土离子和抗衡离子对2-噻吩乙醛酸-铕配合物荧光性能的影响

研究了惰性稀土离子和抗衡离子对一系列2-噻吩乙醛酸-铕配合物荧光性能的影响。分别在2-噻吩乙醛酸-邻菲罗啉-铕和2-噻吩乙醛酸-三苯基氧化膦-铕两个体系中按不同比例掺入钇和钆,研究了它们的荧光光谱。结果表明,钇的加入对2-噻吩乙醛酸-邻菲罗啉-铕体系的荧光强度有很强的敏化作用,并且随加入量的增加,这种敏化作用逐渐增强。钇的加入对2-噻吩乙醛酸-三苯基氧化膦-铕体系则呈现出弱的敏化作用,且在一定程度上具有猝灭作用,但这两种作用都是很微小的。钆在少量加入时对2-噻吩乙醛酸-三苯基氧化膦-铕体系具有猝灭作用,当大量加入时则呈现出很强的敏化作用。不同的抗衡离子对配合物的影响是明显的。在二元配合物中,氯化物体系的固体荧光强度最大;在三元配合物中,硝酸盐体系的固体荧光强度最大。

Electron–hole recombination luminescence in LiYF4:U single crystal

Photoluminescence (PL), photostimulated luminescence (PSL), thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies were carried out on LiYF₄:U⁴⁺ and pure LiYF₄ crystals. The PL and EPR investigations have identified the presence of Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Gd³⁺ ions in both of these crystals possibly due to their existence in the starting materials. The luminescence observed during afterglow, PSL and TSL revealed that emission occurs at wavelength positions 382, 413, 437 and 544 nm, which are characteristic of Tb³⁺ ions. The present investigations using PSL and TSL in combination with PL studies before and after gamma irradiation have revealed that selective energy transfer to Tb³⁺ ions occurs during electron–hole recombination processes like PSL and TSL. Even though other luminescent ions (U⁴⁺ and Eu³⁺) are present in the system and U⁴⁺/U³⁺ ions are participating in electron capture/release processes, the selective energy transfer results in Tb³⁺ ions acting as luminescence centers.     

YNbO4：Tm3+/Yb3+上转换发光特性研究

按照50Nb₂O₅-（46-x）Y₂O₃-4Yb₂O₃-xTm₂O₃（x=0.1,0.2,0.5,1,2）的配比方式,采用高温固相法制备出了掺杂Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺的YNbO₄晶体粉末。在980 nm红外光激发下,观测到波长为478,645,707 nm的上转换荧光,分别对应于Tm³⁺离子的¹G₄→³H₆、¹G₄→³F₄、³F₃→³H₆能级跃迁过程。利用上转换发射功率与980 nm激光器工作电流关系估算出跃迁过程吸收光子数目为2.72,2.69,2.01,从而确定出前两者为三光子吸收过程,最后一个对应于双光子吸收过程。运用Judd-Ofelt理论研究样品光谱特性,根据样品的吸收谱得到样品的谱线强度参数Ω_t（t=2,4,6）,进而得出理论振子强度及实验振子强度,二者均方根偏差δ_rms=1.299×10^-7。计算了Tm³⁺离子向下能级跃迁的跃迁几率、跃迁分支比等参数。最后得出结论：（1）³F₄能级寿命较长,适合作为上转换中间能级;（2）³H₅能级寿命较长,且³H₅→³H₆跃迁分支比（96.46%）接近100%,可用于产生1 216 nm激光。     

Vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy of Pr in CaAl4O7, LaMgAl11O19 and SrLaAlO4

The vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy of Pr³⁺ doped CaAl₄O₇, LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉ and SrLaAlO₄ is reported. It appears that whenever the aluminate host lattice is excited directly, mainly exciton and 4f²–4f² [³P₀] Pr³⁺ emission are observed. When the excitation energy is lower, Pr³⁺ ions are excited selectively and 4f5d–4f² emission dominates. These observations can be explained by assuming that energy transfer from the host lattice to the Pr³⁺ ion takes place preferentially via an intermediate exciton state with an energy too low to reach the energetic Pr³⁺ 4f5d excited states.
