Enhanced Laser Cooling of Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Glass Containing Nanometer-Sized Metallic Particles

The enhanced laser cooling performance ofrare-earth-ions-doped glasses containing small particles is predicted. Thisis achieved by the enhancement of local field around rare earth ions, owingto the surface plasmon resonance of small metallic particles. The role ofenergy transfer between ions and the particle is theoretical discussed.Depending on the particle size and the ion emission quantum efficiency, theenhancement of the absorption and the fluorescence is predicted. Moreover,taking Yb³⁺-doped ZBLAN as example, the cooling power and heat-lightconverting efficiency are calculated. It is finally concluded that theabsorption and the fluorescence are greatly enhanced in these compositematerials, the cooling power is increased compared to the bulk material.

Large reversible magnetocaloric effect induced by metamagnetic transition in antiferromagnetic HoNiGa compound

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects(MCE) of Ho Ni Ga compound are investigated systematically.The Ho Ni Ga exhibits a weak antiferromagnetic(AFM) ground state below the Neel temperature TNof 10 K, and the AFM ordering could be converted into ferromagnetic(FM) ordering by external magnetic field. Moreover, the field-induced FM phase exhibits a high saturation magnetic moment and a large change of magnetization around the transition temperature,which then result in a large MCE. A large-?S_M of 22.0 J/kg K and a high RC value of 279 J/kg without magnetic hysteresis are obtained for a magnetic field change of 5 T, which are comparable to or even larger than those of some other magnetic refrigerant materials in the same temperature range. Besides, the μ_0H~(2/3)dependence of |?S_M~(pk)| well follows the linear fitting according to the mean-field approximation, suggesting the nature of second-order FM–PM magnetic transition under high magnetic fields. The large reversible MCE induced by metamagnetic transition suggests that Ho Ni Ga compound could be a promising material for magnetic refrigeration in low temperature range.     

Covalent bonding and J–J mixing effects on the EPR parameters of Er~(3+) ions in GaN crystal

The EPR parameters of trivalent Er~(3+) ions doped in hexagonal Ga N crystal have been studied by diagonalizing the 364×364 complete energy matrices. The results indicate that the resonance ground states may be derived from the Kramers doublet Γ_6. The EPR g-factors may be ascribed to the stronger covalent bonding and nephelauxetic effects compared with other rare-earth doped complexes, as a result of the mismatch of ionic radii of the impurity Er~(3+)ion and the replaced Ga~(3+) ion apart from the intrinsic covalency of host Ga N. Furthermore, the J–J mixing effects on the EPR parameters from the high-lying manifolds have been evaluated. It is found that the dominant J–J mixing contribution is from the manifold ~2K_(15/2), which accounts for about 2.5%. The next important J–J contribution arises from the crystal–field mixture between the ground state ~4I_(15/2) and the first excited state~4I_(13/2), and is usually less than 0.2%. The contributions from the rest states may be ignored.     

Synthesis and Spectroscopic and Luminescent Properties of Er,Yb and Lu Complexes with Cyano-Substituted Phthalocyanine Ligands

Based on 4,4′-[1,3/4-phenilenebis(oxy)]phthalodinitriles, the mixture of phthalocyaninates of various structures with rare-earth metals were obtained by template fusion method minimizing the side polymerization processes. Target monophthalocyaninates were isolated from the reaction mixture and purified using column and then gel permeation chromatography. The compounds were characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The spectral properties were studied and the aggregation behavior of the synthesized Er, Yb, and Lu phthalocyaninates in chloroform, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran was determined. It has been shown that lutetium complexes with 3,4-dicyanophenoxyphenoxy ligands are the least stable and least resistant to aggregation in solution, while erbium and ytterbium phthalocyaninates proved to be stable in all studied media. The quantum yields and fluorescence lifetimes of the complexes in chloroform and tetrahydrofuran were calculated.     

La、Yb掺杂AlN的光电特性和磁性的第一性原理研究

为了探索AlN在光电器件的潜在应用,基于密度泛函理论,采用第一性原理计算了本征AlN和稀土元素La、Yb掺杂AlN体系的光电特性和磁性。计算结果表明：本征AlN的带隙为6.060 eV。掺入La和Yb后都在导带底产生了杂质能级,使得电子从价带到导带所需的激发能量更低,有利于光学跃迁,从而改善AlN的光学性能。Yb掺杂后自旋向上和自旋向下的价带发生了劈裂,说明Yb掺杂后产生了磁性。La、Yb替位掺杂AlN后,光吸收带边向左往低能方向移动,发生了红移现象。掺杂La和Yb后AlN体系的静态介电常数由4.63分别增大为5.14、280.44,说明掺杂之后增强了体系耐高压特性;静态折射率则由2.12分别增大为2.26、17.06,改善了AlN的光学性质。

The K^＋ cations are located in the cavities defined by S2 anions between the ∞^2[LnSiS4]^- layers.
