Fabrication and luminescent enhancement of Eu3+-doped Y2O3@YOF core-shell nanocrystals

In this paper, a two-step synthesis method for preparing Eu3+ ion-doped Y2O3@YOF core-shell nanocrystals is introduced. Eu3+ ion-doped Y2O3@YOF core-shell nanocrystals were prepared by combining an autocombustion process with a low temperature solid state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), photoluminescence (PL) and fluorescence decay were employed to characterize the prepared samples. The results of XRD, TEM and EDS indicated that the products prepared by this method were not a mixture of Y2O3:Eu3+ and YOF:Eu3+ nanocrystals, but Eu3+ ion-doped Y2O3@YOF core-shell nanocrystals. Compared with Y2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystals, a 20% increment in luminescence intensity was observed in the Eu3+ ion-doped Y2O3@YOF core-shell nanocrystals, thus suggesting that coating with a YOF:Eu3+-shell can efficiently block the nonradiative relaxation channels that are induced by surface defect states.     

掺杂稀土CaAl 2O4基发光材料的制备及其发光机制

Fiber-optic laser sensor for mine detection and verification

What we believe to be a new optical approach for the identification of mines and explosives by analyzing the surface materials and not only bulk is developed. A conventional manually operated mine prodder is upgraded by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). In situ and real-time information of materials that are in front of the prodder are obtained during the demining process in order to optimize the security aspects and the speed of demining. A Cr4+:Nd3+:YAG microchip laser is used as a seed laser for an ytterbium-fiber amplifier to generate high-power laser pulses at 1064 nm with pulse powers up to E(p) = 1 mJ, a repetition rate of f(rep.) = 2-20 kHz and a pulse duration of t(p) = 620 ps. The recorded LIBS signals are analyzed by applying neural networks for the data analysis.     

Optical properties and laser performance of neodymium doped fluoroapatites SrxCa5−x(PO4)3F (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)

Nd doped fluoroapatites Sr_xCa_5−x(PO₄)₃F(S_xC_5−xPF, X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) single crystals have been grown by the Czochralski technique. Their polarized absorption and emission spectra have been recorded at room temperature and used to calculate the absorption and stimulated emission cross sections. Broadening of the absorption and emission bands is observed for Nd³⁺ in the solid solutions SPF-CPF compared to Nd³⁺ in CPF or SPF. 1% Nd:S_xC_5−xPF, X = 0, 2, 3, 4, and 5, laser rods have been tested in a cavity longitudinally pumped by a 1 W AlGaAs laser diode and compared to Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO₄ rods. All fluoroapatites exhibit very good laser performance with low thresholds and high slope efficiencies, higher than in the case of YAG and equal to the YVO₄ samples. The dependance of the laser output power versus the diode temperature has also been measured for all materials. The laser output was found to be as sensitive to the diode temperature fluctuations for fluoroapatites as for YAG.     

Recent progress on the spectroscopy of rare earth ions in core-shells, nanowires, nanotubes, and other novel nanostructures

Research and development of nanoscale luminescent and laser materials are part of the rapidly advancing nanoscience and nanotechnology. Because of unique spectroscopic properties and luminescent dynamics of f-electron states, doping luminescent rare earth ions into nano-hosts has been demonstrated as an optimistic approach to developing highly efficient and stable nanophosphors for various applications. In this article, we review the most recent progress in spectroscopic measurements of rare earth ion-activated low-dimensional nanostructures including nanolayers, core-shells, nanowires, nanotubes, and nanodisks. Among a large volume of work reported in the literature on many members of the rare earth series including Ce3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Eu3+, and Er3+, we focus on recent findings in the spectroscopic and luminescence properties of Eu3+ doped nanolayers, core-shells, and nanotubes, because Eu3+ ions have been extensively studied and widely used as an ideal probe for fundamental understanding of nano-phenomena. Specifically, the dependence of the optical properties of rare earth ions on nanostructures is discussed in detail.
