铒激活重掺杂银硼酸盐玻璃光谱性质

制备了铒激活的重掺杂银硼酸盐玻璃样品,测量了该样品的吸收光谱、X射线衍射谱。研究结果表明样品中没有金属银簇或金属银纳米粒子存在。应用Judd-Ofelt理论计算了该玻璃中的Er³⁺离子的J-O 参数,计算了辐射跃迁几率、辐射跃迁寿命及⁴I_13/2能级的量子效率。发现银引入到硼酸盐玻璃后,降低了基质的声子能量,提高了基质的折射率,增加了Er³⁺的⁴I_13/2量子效率和发射截面积,从而增强了1.5 μm光发射。同时该玻璃样品1.5 μm光发射有较宽的半峰全宽,约为80 nm,但量子效率仍然较低。     

Thermal effects on optical properties of silver ruby glass

2 O·10 CaO·74 SiO₂ mol%) glass doped with 0.11 and 0.35 wt.% silver are investigated. Heating treatments are carried out in a temperature range between 400 and 575 °C for times ranging from 30 to 300 min in different atmospheres and cooling rates. The starting glasses show a colourless and transparent appearance, but after thermal treatments under a reducing atmosphere become coloured, confirming the presence of silver colloids related to the 410-nm absorption band. On the other hand, the main effects of thermal treatments on the PL spectra concern those from samples treated in a reducing atmosphere. Thus, the intensity of both excitation and emission spectra chiefly diminishes in the 220–230 nm and 325–350 nm ranges, respectively. In addition, time-resolved spectra show the main ultraviolet (UV) emission centred above 330 nm upon excitation with 228-nm light. In contrast to the starting glass, we notice no shift or even slight shifts of the peak position to longer wavelengths with increasing delay time after pulse excitation, even for delay times as short as 0.01 ms. The results are discussed on the basis of transitions in which Ag⁺ ions are involved. Received: 6 February 1998/Accepted: 9 March 1998

Silver aggregates and twofold-coordinated tin centers in phosphate glass: A photoluminescence study

The optical properties of silver species in various oxidation and aggregation states and of tin centers in melt-quenched phosphate glasses have been assessed by optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Glasses containing silver and tin, or either dopant, were studied. Emission and excitation spectra along with time-resolved and temperature-dependent PL measurements were employed in elucidating the different emitting centers observed and investigating on their interactions. In regard to silver, the data suggests the presence of luminescent single Ag⁺ ions, Ag⁺-Ag⁺ and Ag⁺-Ag⁰ pairs, and nonluminescent Ag nanoparticles (NPs), where Ag⁺-Ag⁰→Ag⁺-Ag⁺ energy transfer is indicated. Tin optical centers appear as twofold-coordinated Sn centers displaying PL around 400 nm ascribed to triplet-to-singlet electronic transitions. The optically active silver centers were observed in glasses where 8 mol% of both Ag₂O and SnO, and 4 mol% of Ag₂O were added. Heat treatment (HT) of the glass with the high concentration of silver and tin leads to chemical reduction of ionic silver species resulting in a large volume fraction of silver NPs and the vanishing of silver PL features. Further characterization of such heat-treated glass by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy appears consistent with silver being present mainly in nonoxidized form after HT. On the other hand, HT of the glass containing only silver results in the quenching of Ag⁺-Ag⁰ pairs emission that is ascribed to nonradiative energy transfer to Ag NPs due to the positioning of the pairs near the surface of NPs during HT. In this context, an important finding is that a faster relaxation was observed for this nanocomposite in relation to a heat-treated glass containing both silver and tin (no silver pairs) as revealed by degenerate four-wave mixing spectroscopy. Such result is attributed to Ag NP→Ag⁺-Ag⁰ plasmon resonance energy transfer. The data thus indicates that energy transfer between Ag⁺-Ag⁰ pairs and NPs is bi-directional.     

水热法制备YVO_4:Eu~(3+)的热处理及其发光性能

用水热法制备的YVO4:Eu3+分别在400～800℃下进行热处理,研究了所得样品的结构及其发光性能。实验结果表明:所得样品都为单相结构,随着热处理温度的升高,样品的结晶度变好,颗粒变大。在紫外光谱范围,YVO4:Eu3+的激发光谱由VO43-的吸收带和Eu3+的电荷迁移带组成。在真空紫外(VUV),激发光谱由基质吸收,Y3+、O2-的电荷迁移带组成。发射光谱均为Eu3+的5D0→7FJ(J=1,2,4)跃迁。紫外和真空紫外激发下,样品的发光强度比未经过热处理的样品有显著增强,归因于样品的结晶度的提高和OH-、VO43-等发光猝灭离子的去除。     

LiBaF3:Eu2+真空紫外光谱研究

在室温下，二价稀土离了 杂的LiBaF3:Eu^2 粉末样品中，Eu^2 的发射呈现双峰结构，有一峰值波长约为410nm的宽峰，对应于Eu^2 的5d-4f跃迁，以及另一峰值波长约为360nm的窄峰，对应于Eu^2 的4f-4f跃迁。在50－400nm波长范围，测量了样品的反射光谱，并利用Kramers-Kroenig关系，计算了吸收光谱。从吸收光谱中，可以看到在102nm处有明显的吸收边，得到LiBaF3材料的禁带宽度Eg约为12.1eV。在高能端有53.4,59.4,65.3,69.2和76.5nm的吸收峰，它们对应于Ba^2 的5p电子和F的2p电子芯能级之间的跃迁，在低能量的183.4nm处，有很明显的吸收峰，推测这对应于本征缺陷的吸收。更低能量的吸收峰，则对应于禁带中的一些杂质能级，在未经紫外光或X射线辐照之前，用长波长（＞450nm）光激发LiBaF3:Eu^2 粉末样品，可以观测到Eu^2 离子的360nm和410m发光，亦表现出光激励发光特性。     

两步溶液法制备亚微米ZnO棒阵列及其退火后的发光

通过改变溶液浓度、酸碱度等生长条件,用两步化学溶液沉积法在玻璃衬底上制备出有序排列的亚微米级ZnO棒阵列,棒的截面呈正六边形,直径约为200~500nm。测量了样品的XRD谱和扫描电镜像,证明这些样品都是六方纤锌矿结构的ZnO单晶,且以[002]方向择优生长。将样品退火前后的PL光谱进行比较分析,发现退火后样品的发射光谱中紫外峰消失而长波段的红色发光峰红移并且增强(峰位由630nm左右移到720nm),而其激发光谱中的室温激子激发峰也增强。当退火时间增加到6h后,出现了由430nm的蓝峰和505nm绿峰组成的宽谱带蓝绿色发射。并对发光机理进行了讨论。     

Red emitting centre in Ag1−xCuxI

Investigations of the red emission at 625 nm in Ag_1−xCu_xI for x from 0.6 to 0.95 have shown that the excitation spectra for this peak are significantly different from those of the other emission peaks. Substantially enhanced emission intensities are observed for the 625 nm peak excited by 395 nm radiation. The intensity of the 625 nm emission peak relative to those of the other emission peaks at 445–460, 485 and 525 nm is significantly increased. In the x=0.6 sample, the 625 nm emission displaces the 485 nm emission, dominant on excitation at 230 nm, as the major peak. A model is proposed to account for the red emission based on the coexistence of Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ at the higher CuI concentrations, whilst its disappearance at higher AgI concentrations is attributed to Ag occupying interstitial sites.     

Absorption,excitation and fluorescence spectra of thallium activated cesium bromide

Absorption, excitation and fluorescence spectra of T1⁺ doped cesium bromide have been investigated at various thallium concentrations. At very low thallium concentration two absorption bands are obtained at 225 nm and 264 nm. With rise of thallium concentration additional absorption bands are obtained at 230, 244, 258, 270 and 285 nm. A single bell-shaped fluorescence band at 357 nm in the ultraviolet region is obtained at low thallium concentration. Two additional visible fluorescence bands appear at 440 and 540 nm with rise in thallium content. The excitation spectra for ultraviolet emission band and visible emission bands are found to be different. Accordingly the ultraviolet emission band is attributed to the characteristic A emission in T1⁺ ion and the visible bands are attributed to dimer centers havingD _4h site symmetry.     

The UV,blue and green up-conversion luminescence of PbF2+GeO2:Er2O3 pumped with 650 nm

A detailed study of the spectroscopic properties of the PbF₂+GeO₂:Er₂O₃ vitroceramic sample upon 650 nm excitation was investigated. The absorption, emission, excitation spectra, and time-resolved spectra have been measured. The up-conversion of red radiation (650 nm) into UV (368 nm and 379 nm), blue (406.8 nm) and green (522 nm and 540 nm) emissions is observed for Er³⁺ ions in the sample. The up-conversion process involves a two-photon absorption for the violet, blue, and green emission bands. A three-photon process happens for another violet (379 nm) band.

Erratum to Formation and control of Au and Ag nanoparticles inside borate glasses using femtosecond laser and heat treatment

We report the spectroscopic properties of femtosecond laser-irradiated sodium-alumino-borate glass doped with silver and gold ions. We precipitated gold and silver nanoparticles by laser irradiation and annealing at 400°C for 30 min. The irradiation and annealing treatment produced different absorption and emission characteristics in Au³⁺ doped and Au³⁺, Ag⁺ codoped glasses, and the possible mechanisms of the observed results are discussed. The size of the nanoparticles was estimated by TEM and absorption band analysis.     

Emission mechanism of radiophotoluminescence in Ag-doped phosphate glass

The objective of this study is to investigate the emission mechanism of radiophotoluminescence (RPL) in the Ag⁺-doped phosphate glass (glass dosimeter), which is now used as individual radiation dosimeter, because the emission mechanism of RPL in glass dosimeter was not fully understood. Optical properties such as optical absorption spectrum, RPL spectrum and change of RPL spectrum as a function of X-ray irradiation dose were measured for commercially available glass dosimeter. In this study, we discuss the emission mechanism of two RPL peaks at 460 nm and 560 nm, based on the fact that electrons and holes produced by X-ray irradiation are trapped at Ag⁺ ions to produce Ag⁰ and Ag²⁺ ions, respectively, when the Ag⁺-doped phosphate glass is exposed to X-ray. We would like to propose the emission mechanism of RPL peaks at 460 nm and 560 nm, concerning with Ag²⁺ and Ag⁰ ions.     

Effect of thermal annealing on r.f. sputtering-deposited nanocrystalline GaN<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>As<Subscript>1−<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> thin films

GaNAs thin films were deposited on Corning glass substrates by radio frequency (r.f.) sputtering in molecular nitrogen ambient. The stoichiometry in the GaNAs alloy was controlled by changing the nitrogen incorporation in the film during the growth process, through the variation of the r.f. power in the range 30–80 watts which produced films with N concentrations in the range: x = 0.85–0.90. The structural and optical properties of the GaNAs thin films were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoacoustic (PA) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. XRD measurements show a broad diffraction band with a peak close to the (002) diffraction line of the GaN hexagonal phase, and a slight shoulder at the position corresponding to the (111) GaAs cubic phase. The PA absorption spectra showed a remarkable shift to higher energies of the absorption edge as the r.f. power decreases corresponding to the films with higher N concentrations. Thermal annealing of the GaNAs films at temperatures of 450 °C produced a GaAs nanocrystalline phase with grain sizes in the range 10–13 nm, as confirmed by the XRD measurements that showed a well-defined peak in the (111) GaAs direction, and also by the PA spectra which showed an absorption band at energies around 1.45 eV due to the quantum confinement effects. PL spectra of thermal-annealed GaNAs films showed a very intense emission at 1.5 eV which we have associated to transitions between the first electron excited level and acceptor states in the GaAs nanocrystallites.     

A donor-acceptor pair broad band emission in AgGaS2

We interpret in this paper a broad band emission of silver thiogallate (AgGaS₂) peaked at 1.642 eV with a width of 395 meV. We show that the recombination kinetics are governed by donor-acceptor processes, with the band shape dominated by vibronic interaction. A theoretical calculation of the time-resolved spectra built with the parameters of donor-acceptor transitions gives good agreement with the experimental spectra.

铋化物发光玻璃中银表面等离激元对铒离子的发光增强作用

局域表面等离激元可以由自由空间的光直接激发,这也是局域表面等离激元的优点所在。研究铋化物发光玻璃中纳米银颗粒的表面等离激元对铒离子发光的增强效应、进一步的提高铋化物发光玻璃中铒离子的发光性能很有意义。首先,测量了(A)Er 3+(0.5%)Ag(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃与(B)Er 3+(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃样品的吸收谱,发现(A)Er 3+(0.5%)Ag(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃在约600.0 nm处有一个较弱的宽的银表面等离激元共振吸收峰。同时发现两者都有典型的铒离子的吸收峰,它们的吸收几乎完全一样:在波峰形状、峰值强度和峰值波长等方面都很相近。测量了(A)Er 3+(0.5%)Ag(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃和(B)Er 3+(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃样品的激发谱,发现有位于379.0,406.0,451.0,488.0和520.5 nm的5个550.0 nm可见光的可见激发谱峰,和位于379.0,406.5,451.0,488.5,520.5,544.0,651.5和798.0 nm的8个1531.0 nm红外光的红外激发谱峰,容易指认出依次为Er 3+的4I 15/2→4G 11/2,4I 15/2→2H 9/2,4I 15/2→(4F 3/2,4F 5/2),4I 15/2→4F 7/2,4I 15/2→2H 11/2,4I 15/2→4S 3/2,4I 15/2→4F 9/2和4I 15/2→4I 9/2跃迁的吸收峰,通过测量发现(A)Er 3+(0.5%)Ag(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃相对于(B)Er 3+(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃样品的可见和红外激发谱的最大增强依次分别是238%和133%。最后,测量了它们的发光谱,发现有位于534.0,547.5和658.5 nm的三组可见发光峰,容易指认出依次为Er 3+的2H 11/2→4I 15/2,4S 3/2→4I 15/2,4F 9/2→4I 15/2荧光跃迁。还发现红外发光峰位于978.0和1531.0 nm,依次为Er 3+的4I 11/2→4I 15/2和4I 13/2→4I 15/2的荧光跃迁。通过测量发现(A)Er 3+(0.5%)Ag(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃相对于(B)Er 3+(0.5%):铋化物发光玻璃样品的可见和红外发光谱的最大增强依次分别是215%和138%。对于银表面等离激元增强铒离子发光的机理,认为主要为纳米银颗粒的局域表面等离激元共振,造成金属纳米结构附近产生的局域电场的强度要远大于入射光的电场强度,从而导致了金属纳米结构对入射光产生强烈的吸收和散射,进而导致了荧光的增强;即局域表面等离子体共振局域场的场增强效应。     

Luminescent properties of RE-activated CaAl2B2O7 (RE=Tb, Ce) in VUV-visible region

RE³⁺-activated α- and β-CaAl₂B₂O₇ (RE=Tb, Ce) were synthesized with the method of high-temperature solid-state reaction. Their VUV excitation and VUV-excited emission spectra are measured and discussed in the present article. The charge transfer band of Tb³⁺ and Ce³⁺ is respectively calculated to be at 151±2 and 159±3 nm. All the samples show an activator-independent excitation peak at about 175 nm and an emission peak at 350-360 nm ascribed to the host absorption and emission band, respectively.     

Optical characterization of ZnO nanoparticles capped with various surfactants

The presence of surfactants (Hexamine, tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB) and PVP) on the surface of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles resulted variation in their optical properties. The optical properties of each surfactant-capped zinc oxide nanoparticles were investigated using UV-visible absorption and fluorescence techniques. The particle size of these nanoparticles were calculated from their absorption edge, and found to be in the quantum confinement range. The absorption spectra and fluorescent emission spectra showed a significant blue shift compared to that of the bulk zinc oxide. Large reduction in the intensity of visible emission of zinc oxide/surfactant was observed and these emissions were vanished more quickly, with the decrease in excitation energy, for the smaller nanoparticles. Out of the four surfactants (other than PVP), CTAB-capped zinc oxide has smallest particle size of 2.4 nm, as calculated from the absorption spectrum. Thus the presence of surfactant on the surface of zinc oxide plays a significant role in reducing defect emissions. Furthermore, ZnO/PVP nanoparticles showed no separate UV emission peak; however, the excitonic UV emission and the visible emission at 420 nm overlap to form a single broad band around 420 nm.
