用于白光LED的高亮度蓝白色荧光粉Ca2SiO3Cl2：Eu2+的发光性质

采用固相法在较低温度下合成了Eu²⁺激活的Ca₂SiO₃Cl₂高亮度蓝白色发光材料,并对其发光性质进行了研究。其发射光谱由两个谱带组成,峰值分别位于420,498nm处,归结为Ca₂SiO₃Cl₂晶体中占据两种不同Ca²⁺格位的Eu²⁺离子的5d→4f跃迁发射。改变Eu²⁺浓度,可以使样品的发光在蓝白色和绿白色之间变化。当Eu²⁺浓度为0.005mol^-1时,样品呈现很亮的蓝白色发光。两个发射峰的激发光谱均分布在250~410nm的波长范围内,峰值分别位于333,369nm处。Ca₂SiO₃Cl₂:Eu²⁺可被InGaN管芯产生的近紫外辐射有效激发,是一种性能良好的白光LED用单一基质蓝白色荧光粉。

Luminescence of praseodymium (III) in solutions of mixed-ligand complexes with β-diketones

We have found that it is possible to enhance the luminescence of Pr(III) in solutions of complexes with β-diketones: acetylacetone derivatives containing fluoroalkyl substituents of different lengths and structures. We have established that in the presence of organic solvents, second (additional) ligands, and surfactants shielding the central ion from the quenching effect of the water molecules (OH oscillators), the intensity of luminescence for Pr(III) increases by a factor of 65, 38, and 45 respectively. In this case, cationic surfactants form ionic associates with Pr(III) β-diketonates, with incorporation of one more β-diketone molecule (ratio Pr:β-diketonate:surfactant = 1:4:1). As a result of suppression of intramolecular energy losses in solutions of Pr(III) β-diketonates, it is possible to observe its rather intense luminescence at 605 nm (the transition ¹D₂ → ³H₄), 612 nm (³P₀ → ³H₆), and 646 nm (³P₀ → 3F₂). __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 6, pp. 746–750, November–December, 2006.     

Luminescence of CsBr:Eu films grown by liquid-phase epitaxy

By liquid-phase epitaxy from an aqueous alcoholic solution, we have obtained films of the well-known storage phospor CsBr:Eu, and we have studied their cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence (PL) spectra compared with the undoped CsBr films. We have established that the structure of the photoluminescence centers of the CsBr:Eu films when excited by laser radiation in the absorption band of the Eu²⁺ ions (λ = 337 nm) includes Eu²⁺-V_Cs isolated dipole centers and CsEuBr₃ aggregate centers, and also luminescence centers based on inclusions of hydroxyl group OH⁻ with the corresponding emission bands in the 440 nm, 520 nm, and 600 nm regions. We have studied the dependence of the spectra and the intensity of the photoluminescence for CsBr:Eu films on annealing temperature in air at 423–483 K, compared with analogous dependences for CsBr:Eu single crystals obtained from the melt. We have shown that annealing the films at T = 423–463 K leads to rapid formation of CsEuBr3 aggregate luminescence centers, while for T > 473 K thermal degradation of these centers occurs. We conclude that the observed differences between the photoluminescence spectra of CsBr:Eu films and CsBr:Eu single crystals may be due to additional doping of the films with OH⁻ ions. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 2, pp. 191–194, March–April, 2006.     

Accurate analysis of arbitrarily-shaped helical groove waveguide

This paper presents a theory on accurately analysing the dispersion relation and the interaction impedance of electromagnetic waves propagating through a helical groove waveguide with arbitrary groove shape, in which the complex groove profile is synthesized by a series of rectangular steps. By introducing the influence of high-order evanescent modes on the connection of any two neighbouring steps by an equivalent susceptance under a modified admittance matching condition, the assumption of the neglecting discontinuity capacitance in previously published analysis is avoided, and the accurate dispersion equation is obtained by means of a combination of field-matching method and admittance-matching technique. The validity of this theory is proved by comparison between the measurements and the numerical calculations for two kinds of helical groove waveguides with different groove shapes.     

Size dependence of the thermo-electrodynamics states of composite high-Tc superconductors and its effect on the current instability conditions

The effect of transverse geometries of the slab of composite high-T_c superconductors on their stable and unstable thermal and electrodynamics transient states in the incomplete and complete penetration modes during the current charging are discussed. The transient period when the electric field that is induced by the charged current becomes more homogeneous during the initial stage of the complete penetration mode in the sub-critical voltage range is studied. In the over-critical voltage range, the cross-section shape of the slab affects its stable and unstable temperature variation. As a result, the current instability condition is not identical for high-T_c superconducting composite tapes that have the same cross-sectional area with various shapes of the cross-section. The condition depends on their thickness: the less thickness, the more stable the current distribution in the composite superconductors with the same cross-sectional area. This feature is a result of the unavoidable reduction of the current-carrying capacity of a high-T_c superconducting composite by the temperature increase. This reduction is caused by the relevant temperature dependence of electrodynamics states of the composite. This temperature dependence happens even during a stable stage of the current charging. These mechanisms must be considered during experiments at which the critical or quenching currents are defined.     

The charge states’ conversion of the activator ions in CaF2:Eu nanophosphors

According to stationary X-ray-excited luminescence spectra and thermally stimulated luminescence spectra of CaF₂:Eu nanophosphors, it was found that Eu³⁺?→?Eu²⁺ conversion can occur during thermal annealing of fine-grained (d?=?25?nm) nanoparticles in the 200–800°C range, which is accompanied by an increase in their size within 40–189?nm. An important role of the exciton mechanism of Eu²⁺ luminescence excitation was revealed according to the temperature dependence of X-ray-excited luminescence spectra of CaF₂:Eu nanoparticles of 114?nm size. The maximum of the X-ray-excited luminescence light output of CaF₂:Eu nanophosphors in the Eu²⁺ ions’ emission band was traced out at 400–500°C annealing temperature and at the size of nanoparticles of 114–180?nm. The subsequent growth of the annealing temperatures, particularly in the 800–1000°C range, causes the reduction of X-ray-excited luminescence light output because of the increment of lattice defects’ concentration due to a sharp increase in the size of nanoparticles and their agglomeration.     

Dynamics of vortex–antivortex pair in a superconducting thin strip with narrow slits

In the framework of phenomenological time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau(TDGL) formalism,the dynamical properties of vortex-antivortex(V-Av) pair in a superconductor film with a narrow slit was studied.The slit position and length can have a great impact not only on the vortex dynamical behavior but also the current-voltage(Ⅰ-Ⅴ) characteristics of the sample.Kinematic vortex lines can be predominated by the location of the slit.In the range of relatively low applied currents for a constant weak magnetic field,kinematic vortex line appears at right or left side of the slit by turns periodically.We found such single-side kinematic vortex line cannot lead to a jump in the Ⅰ-Ⅴ curve.At higher applied currents the phase-slip lines can be observed at left and right sides of the slit simultaneously.The competition between the vortex created at the lateral edge of the sample and the V-Av pair in the slit will result in three distinctly different scenarios of vortex dynamics depending on slit length:the lateral vortex penetrates the sample to annihilate the antivortex in the slit;the V-Av pair in the slit are driven off and expelled laterally;both the lateral vortex and the slit antivortex are depinned and driven together to annihilation in the halfway.     

On the phase space approach to complexity

We elaborate in some detail on a new phase space approach to complexity, due to Y.-C. Zhang. We show in particular that the connection between maximal complexity and power law noise or correlations can be derived from a simple variational principle. For a 1D signal we find 1/f noise, in accordance with Zhang.
