Mixed conductivity of glasses in the P2O5-V2O5-Na2O system

The conductivity of glasses in the P₂O₅−[(1−x) V₂O₅−x Na₂O] system is studied as a function of temperature and composition. For all compositions, the conductivity variations as a function of temperature follow an Arrhenius type relationship: . The activation energies and pre-exponential factors corresponding to the V₂O₅ richest compositions are lower than that corresponding to the ionic ones. Isothermal variations of the conductivity as a function of composition show a deep minimum for a molar ratio x near 0.65. On either side of this minimum, the conductivity is mainly electronic (x<0.7) or ionic (x>0.8). The variations are interpreted assuming a prevailing diluting effect of the non predominantly present oxide without any interactions between the electronic and ionic charge carriers.

Bi离子掺杂GeO2-Al2O3-M(M=Na2O,BaO,Y2O3)玻璃的光学性质

用高温熔融法制备了Bi离子掺杂浓度为1mol%的GeO-B2O3-Na2O (GBNB),GeO2-Al2O3-Na2O(GANB),GeO2-Al2O3-BaO(GABB)和GeO2-Al2O3-Y2O3(GAYB)玻璃.测定了样品玻璃的差热曲线、吸收、发射光谱及荧光衰减曲线.实验发现GBNB,GANB,GAYB,GABB的吸收边带逐步发生红移.由于这些吸收边带是由Bi3+的6s2电子到Bi5+ 6s0空轨道的跃迁引起.因此推断GBNB,GANB,GAYB,GABB玻璃中Bi5+离子的含量逐步增加.在GABB,GAYB,GANB三个样品中观察到发光中心约1220nm超宽带荧光发射.荧光强度从GABB,GAYB,GANB逐步减弱,荧光半高宽和荧光寿命逐步变小.这些超宽带的荧光归属为Bi5+离子的发光所致.从吸收与荧光光谱的变化,推断在GeO2-Al2O3玻璃中引入BaO,Y2O3组分有利于Bi5+离子的形成.讨论了BaO,Y2O3化学组分对Bi离子在玻璃中的价态影响的内在机理.

掺Bi的GeO2-Al2O3-Na2O玻璃的热学和光学性质

用高温熔融法制备了96GeO-(3-χ)Al2O3-χNa2O-1NaBiO3 （将χ分别为0,0.5,1.5的玻璃命名为A1,A2,A3）和 96GeO-(3.5-ψ)Al2O3-ψχNa2O-0.5Bi2O3（将ψ分别为0,0.5,2的玻璃命名为B1,B2,B3）玻璃。观察到样品在1 220 nm处（800 nm 激光二极管激发）的超宽带发光特性（半高宽约250 nm）。结果表明,以NaBiO3形式引入Bi5+到玻璃原料中比以Bi2O3形式引入Bi3+到原料中得到的玻璃在1 220 nm处的发光强度大4.6倍,且荧光寿命和荧光半高宽也分别从280 μs和195 nm增加到了434 μs和275 nm。从A3,A2和A1的吸收边带的红移可初步推断出A3,A2及A1玻璃中Bi5+的含量逐步增加。总结吸收光谱与发射光谱的变化规律,认为Bi离子近红外高发射强度和宽荧光半高宽是由Bi5+的发光引起的。在两组玻璃中,热稳定性以及荧光发射截面积与荧光寿命的乘积值和荧光发射截面积与荧光半高宽的乘积值随着Na2O含量的增加而增加。     

Er3+掺杂的Bi2O3-B2O3-SiO2玻璃的光谱性质

测试了Bi₂O₃-B₂O₃-SiO₂玻璃中的Er³⁺离子的吸收光谱、发射光谱、⁴I_13/2的荧光寿命、拉曼光谱,及OH^-的傅里叶红外吸收光谱。应用Judd-Ofelt理论计算了该玻璃中的Er³⁺离子的J-O参数、振子强度、⁴I_13/2能级的寿命,从而利用测得的⁴I_13/2的荧光寿命得出了⁴I_13/2能级的量子效率(15%)。由于较低量子效率可能与OH^-有关,所以计算了玻璃中的OH^-浓度,发现其浓度较高(1.66×10¹⁹cm^-1,相当于Er³⁺浓度的3倍)。应用McCumber理论和四能级模型计算了Er³⁺离子的受激发射截面和荧光发射光谱的半峰全宽,结果与通过吸收光谱计算所得基本吻合。根据透射率和折射率的关系计算了折射率,发现和测量值相差很大,说明有较大的散射,通过拉曼光谱和显微镜测试,认为是玻璃中的微小气泡造成的。

Preparation of sol-gel method P2O5-Al2O3-SiO2 glasses and their characterization

Nanostructures P₂O₅-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ glasses were prepared by sol-gel method. The glasses were characterized by XRD, FTIR and TG/DTA methods. The average pore size of the glass was less than 3 nm as measured by N₂ adsorption — desorption method. The thermal stability was measured as a function of decomposition temperature and weight loss calculations. Proton conductivities of all samples increased with an increase in relative humidity (40–90 %), indicating that continuous paths suitable for proton conduction were developed when glasses heat treated at 300 °C due to the adsorption of water. The temperature dependence of the conductivity for all compositions increases with increasing temperature in the range 30–90 °C with relative humidity 70 %. The overall conductivity was in the range 10⁻⁴–10⁻³ S/cm for compositions.     

Photoluminescence of Lu3Al5O12:Bi and Y3Al5O12:Bi single crystalline films

Single crystalline films of Lu₃Al₅O₁₂:Bi and Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Bi have been studied at 4.2–450 K by the time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy method. Their emission spectrum consists of two types of bands with strongly different characteristics. The ultraviolet band consists of two components, arising from the electronic transitions which correspond to the ³P₁ → ¹S₀ and ³P₀ → ¹S₀ transitions in a free Bi³⁺ ion. At T < 80 K, mainly the lower-energy component with the decay time ～10^?3 s is observed, arising from the metastable ³P₀ level. At T > 150 K, the higher-energy component prevails, arising from the thermally populated emitting ³P₁ level. The visible emission spectrum consists of two dominant strongly overlapped broad bands with large Stokes shifts. At 4.2 K, their decay times are ～10^?5 s and ～10^?4 s and decrease with increasing temperature. Both of the visible emission bands are assumed to be of an exciton origin. The lower-energy band is ascribed to an exciton, localized near a single Bi³⁺ ion. The higher-energy band, showing a stronger intensity dependence on the Bi³⁺ content, is assumed to arise from an exciton, localized near a dimer Bi³⁺ center. The structure of the corresponding excited states is considered, and the processes, taking place in these states, are discussed.

Optical spectra and local structure of Eu3+ ions doped in Nb2O5-La2O3-B2O3-BaO glasses

The xNb2O5-(15-x)La2O3-40B2O3-45BaO (x = 5, 7.5, 12.5 mol%) glasses doped with Eu3+ ions in 1mol% are fabricated by the melting method. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, phonon sideband spectra, emission and excitation spectra of the glasses are measured. The crystal field parameter and coordination number of Eu3+ ions in the glasses are obtained according to the splitting of their 5D0 - 7F1levels. The intensity parameters Ω2 and Ω4 of Eu3+ ions for optical transition are calculated from their emission spectra in terms of reduced matrix U(t) (λ= 2,4,6) character for optical transitions. The results indicate that the intensity parameters Ω2 and Ω4 increase with the increase of Nb2O5 content, suggesting that the symmetry becomes lower, the band of Eu and O atoms becomes stronger and the covalence increases with the increase of Nb2O5 content.

Nonlinear Optics properties of Er2O3- doped 75Nb2O5-20TeO2-5ZnO glasses

We have performed time-resolved degenerate four-wave mixing(DFWM)experiments in 75Nb2O5-20TeO2-5ZnO glasses doped by Er2O3 at different excitation intensities and lattice temperatures.DFWM signalexhibits three peaks at high excitation intensities,where a main peak appears at zero time delay and tworather weak side peaks locate symmetrically at the negative and positive time delay,respectively.Themain peak is attributed to local-field effect and two side peaks are attributed to Coulomb interaction(CI).     

Properties of Bi2O3 thin films prepared via a modified Pechini route

Thin bismuth oxide films have been prepared by a modified Pechini route on glass substrate and annealed at temperatures ranging between 400 °C and 700 °C using bismuth nitrate as raw material. The thin films were then characterized for structural, surface morphological, optical and electrical properties by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical absorption and d.c. two-probe, respectively. Structural investigations indicated that as-prepared bismuth oxide films were polycrystalline and multiphase, and annealing temperatures played a key role in the composition and optical properties of these films. AFM and SEM images revealed well defined particles which are highly influenced by annealing temperatures. The optical studies showed a direct band gap which varied with annealing temperatures between 3.63 eV and 3.74 eV. The electrical measurement showed that the electrical resistivity increased with annealing temperatures and the films were typical semiconductors. As catalyst, bismuth oxide films annealed at 550 °C had the best photocatalytic performance for photodegradation of methyl orange.     

Threshold switching in V2O5-ZnO-SrO-FeO glasses

Density and current–field characteristics related to switching phenomenon in zinc-doped strontium iron vanadate glasses having the formula (70 ? x)%V₂O₅–x%ZnO–10%SrO–20%FeO, have been investigated over a wide composition range [0 ≤ x ≤ 15] at different thicknesses and temperatures. The samples are found to show threshold switching behavior. The switching fields are found to increase with the increase of zinc content while they decrease when the temperature is increased. The activation energy for switching was found to increase with the increase of ZnO content. Finally, the switching results are discussed in terms of the electrothermal model depending on the samples thicknesses and power calculus.     

Mössbauer spectra and electrical conductivity ofxFe2O3−(40-x)V2O5−60P2O5 glasses

Mössbauer spectra and electrical conductivities were measured for the purpose of studying on the conduction mechanism of xFe₂O₃?(40-x)V₂O₅?60P₂O₅ glasses. The ratios Fe²⁺/Fe²⁺+Fe³⁺ in xFe₂O₃?(40-x)V₂O₅?60P₂O₅ glasses were determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy. On the composition dependence of D. C. conductivities in these glasses, the minimum of log σ at each temperature was obtained at 25Fe₂O₃?15V₂O₅?60P₂O₅. The conductivities of ternary glassses in Fe rich region could be explained only by the changes of carrler (Fe²⁺) concentration and the hopping conduction between Fe²⁺ ions and Fe³⁺ ions in binary glasses. In V rich region, the saturation tendency of D. C. conductivities are observed. It was suggested to be explained by increasing of V⁴⁺ ions due to the influence of Fe ions.
