Spectroscopic study of Dy and Dy/Yb ions co-doped in barium fluoroborate glass

Dy³⁺ and Dy³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped barium fluoroborate glasses have been synthesized and their luminescence properties have been monitored under UV (355 nm) and NIR (976 nm) excitations, respectively. Absorption spectra of the two samples were recorded and Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters and other radiative parameters were calculated and compared. Dy³⁺ doped sample yields strong yellowish white emission under 355 nm excitation. No emission is observed with 976 nm excitation. The Dy³⁺/Yb³⁺ ions co-doped sample on the other hand gives weak upconversion emission in blue, yellow and red regions on 976 nm excitation via energy transfer process from Yb³⁺ to Dy³⁺ ions from other level. An involvement of three photons has been noted for these emissions. Decay curve for different transitions of these samples have also been recorded and the lifetime of the corresponding levels involved are calculated.     

Electrical properties of SnO2·CuO·Ta2O5 varistor system

The CuO and Ta₂O₅-doped SnO₂ system was obtained by conventional ceramics processing. The ceramic phases of samples was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the microstructure by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrical field of a single phase of CuO and Ta₂O₅-doped SnO₂ system was studied as a function of current density behavior and compared with the CoO and Ta₂O₅-doped SnO₂ system. A high nonlinear coefficient α=37.9 was obtained. To illustrate the grain–boundary barrier formation of CuO and Ta₂O₅-doped SnO₂-based varistors, a modified defect barrier model is introduced.     

Powder synthesis and white light-emitting properties of Eu3+ co-doped K2CaP2O7:Dy3+ phosphors with energy transfer between Dy3+ and Eu3+

A series of white-emitting K₂CaP₂O₇:Dy³⁺ and K₂CaP₂O₇:Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺ phosphors were synthesized via a solid-state method, and Eu³⁺ was co-doped in K₂CaP₂O₇:Dy³⁺ to improve its white light performance. The influences of preparation temperature and Dy³⁺/Eu³⁺ concentration on the crystal structure and photoluminescence characteristics were investigated. XRD results indicate that K₂CaP₂O₇:Dy³⁺ samples prepared above 700 °C matches the standard K₂CaP₂O₇ phase. Under excitation of 349 nm, K₂CaP₂O₇:Dy³⁺ phosphor exhibited characteristic emission peaks at 487 nm (blue) and 579 nm (yellow), and white emission was realized through combining these blue and yellow emissions. After co-doping Eu³⁺ ions, the co-luminescence of Dy³⁺/Eu³⁺ with energy transfer between Dy³⁺and Eu³⁺ were demonstrated. The chromaticity of white light was controlled by changing the ratio of Dy³⁺/Eu³⁺ concentrations, which lead to a warm white light. Therefore, the results indicate that K₂CaP₂O₇:Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺ powders have a potential application in w-LEDs as single-component white-emitting phosphor.

Luminescence properties of Eu3+ or Dy3+/Au co-doped SiO2 nanoparticles

Silica nanoparticles, prepared by the Stober method, have been doped with Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺, or processed to result in Au nanoparticles on the silica surface. The luminescence of the rare earth (RE)-doped SiO₂ particles has been studied as a function of the nature of the RE, their concentration and also of the presence of Au nanoparticles at the surface of the SiO₂ nanoparticles. We have shown that the Eu³⁺ emission is observable over the experimental conditions examined, whereas it was not possible to observe any emission for Dy³⁺ doped materials. No enhancement of the Eu³⁺ emission was observed following the adsorption of gold nanoparticles at the surface of the SiO₂ nanoparticle, however an excitation at 250 nm leads to both the emission of the matrix and Eu³⁺ showing an energy transfer from the SiO₂ matrix to Eu³⁺ ions.     

Magnetic and luminescent properties of Fe3O4@Y2O3:Eu3+ nanocomposites

The multifunctional Fe₃O₄@Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ nanocomposites were prepared by a facile solvothermal method with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as the core and europium-doped yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺) as the shell. It is shown that Fe₃O₄@Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ nanocomposites have a strong photoluminescence and special saturation magnetization Ms of 6.1 emu/g at room temperature. The effects of the magnetic field on the luminescence intensities of the nanocomposites are being discussed. The multifunctional nanocomposites with magnetic resonance response and fluorescence probe properties may be useful in biomedical applications, such as cell separation and bioimaging.     

An efficient green-emitting luminescent material: Tb3+-activated monoclinic Gd2O3

Monoclinic gadolinium oxide activated with Tb³⁺ is an efficient green-emitting phosphor, even for low Tb³⁺ concentrations. Under X-ray excitation its efficiency is about 50% of that of Gd₂O₂S-Tb. The low amount of blue ⁵D₃ emission from Gd₂O₃-Tb is ascribed to the low-energy position of the 4f-5d band (~ 280 nm). The intensity ratio of the Gd³⁺ excitation lines in the photoluminescence excitation spectrum provides information on the location of the quenching sites (probably Tb⁴⁺).

Structural and phase dependent thermo and photoluminescent properties of Dy(OH)3 and Dy2O3 nanorods

Hexagonal Dy(OH)₃ and cubic Dy₂O₃ nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal method. Dy(OH)₃ nanorods was directly obtained at 180 °C for 20 h after hydrothermal treatment whereas subsequently heat treatment at 750 °C for 2 h gives pure cubic Dy₂O₃. SEM micrographs reveal that needle shaped rods with different sizes were observed in both the phases. TEM results also confirm this. The TL response of hexagonal Dy(OH)₃ and cubic Dy₂O₃ nanorods have been analyzed for γ-irradiation over a wide range of exposures (1–5 kGy). TL glow peak intensity increases with γ dose in both the phases. The activation energy (E), order of kinetics (b), and frequency factor (s) for both the phases have been determined using Chen's peak shape method. The simple glow curve shape, structure and linear response to γ-irradiation over a large span of exposures makes the cubic Dy₂O₃ as a useful dosimetric material to estimate high exposures of γ-rays.
