We have discovered an increase in the photoluminescence of the opal–tellurite glass–Er³⁺ nanocomposite in comparison with the specimens of the same glass on melted quartz substrates.

Near-IR Luminescent Rare Earth Ion–Sensitizer Complexes

Rare earth ions, with relatively long luminescence lifetimes, have significant advantages for application in fields as varied as diagnostics and optical amplification. In diagnostics the long luminescence lifetimes allow for extremely sensitive time-gated detection, where the difference in temporal behavior of scatter and background fluorescence and the long-lived rare earth luminescence is utilized. In optical amplification the long excited-state lifetime makes it easier to obtain population inversion, a requirement for effective stimulated emission. Unfortunately the absorption cross section of rare earth ion transitions is extremely low. However, via sensitized excitation by means of a suitable organic molecule, efficient excitation is obtained. It is shown that excitation in the visible part of the spectrum can be used to excite rare earth ions which luminesce in the near-IR, such as ytterbium, neodymium, and erbium, via a fluorescein-derivative as sensitizer. The advantages of this approach are manifold. Low-cost light sources are available for the visible part of the spectrum, and interferences from the matrix (scatter, absorption) are minimal. Detection in the near-IR is almost interference-free. For optical amplification the wavelength regions around 1300 and 1550 nm, which can be covered with the neodymium and erbium complexes, respectively, are the most important for applications in optical telecommunication.

Rare-Earth Single Erbium Atoms for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

The solar-driven photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ (CO₂RR) into chemical fuels is a promising route to enrich energy supplies and mitigate CO₂ emissions. However, low catalytic efficiency and poor selectivity, especially in a pure-water system, hinder the development of photocatalytic CO₂RR owing to the lack of effective catalysts. Herein, we report a novel atom-confinement and coordination (ACC) strategy to achieve the synthesis of rare-earth single erbium (Er) atoms supported on carbon nitride nanotubes (Er₁/CN-NT) with a tunable dispersion density of single atoms. Er₁/CN-NT is a highly efficient and robust photocatalyst that exhibits outstanding CO₂RR performance in a pure-water system. Experimental results and density functional theory calculations reveal the crucial role of single Er atoms in promoting photocatalytic CO₂RR.     

Ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy of locked single‐stranded oligo(dA) reveals conformational implications of the locked ribose in LNA

We report here the first UV resonance Raman spectroscopic (UVRRS) study on locked nucleic acid (LNA) oligomers. Locking a base in nucleic acid (NA) oligomers produces a conformational change in the glycosyl bond between backbone and base. We present evidence of this change in LNAs when compared to their natural analogs using UVRRS. Wavenumber downshifts and peak amplitude increases, especially of the ∼1481 cm⁻¹ peak that is a spectral marker for part of the glycosyl bond, correlate with the fraction of locked bases when single‐stranded oligomers incorporating up to three locked bases were examined. By varying the position of the locked base within a fixed length sequence, we conclude that one, or at most two bases, on either side of the lock is affected. We further conclude from these data, and previously published reports, that the conformation of LNA is determined by imidazole–imidazole and pyrimidine–pyrimidine repulsion and imidazole–pyrimidine attraction in contrast to dispersion attraction‐dependent aggregation in the B conformation of DNA.
