Ag glasses based on Zn-phosphate

The partial substitution of Zn²⁺ for Ag⁺ in Ag₄P₂O₇ leads to the formation of a wide glassy domain of composition [Ag₄P₂O₇] _(1−y) [Zn₂P₂O₇] _(y) with 0.20y0.87. The introduction of AgI in these materials results in a new series of glasses of formula [(Ag₄P₂O₇)_(1−y) (Zn₂P₂O₇)_(y)] _(1−X) [AgI] _(x), which domain for the composition y = 0.25 corresponds to 0x 0.64. The structure as well as the thermal and electrical properties of these materials are compared with those of the [AgPO₃] _(1−X) [AgI] _(x) and [Ag₄P₂O₇] _(1−x) [AgI] _(x) glasses.

Controllable formation of Er–Yb codoped Al2O3 films by the non-aqueous sol–gel method

1 mol%Er³⁺–10 mol%Yb³⁺ codoped Al₂O₃ thin films have been prepared on thermally oxidized SiO₂/Si(110) substrates by a dip-coating process in the non-aqueous sol–gel method from the hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide [Al(OC₃H₇)₃] under isopropanol environment. Addition of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a drying control chemical additive (DCCA) into the sol suppresses formation of the cracks in the Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ codoped Al₂O₃ thin films when the rare-earth ion is doped with a high doping concentration. Homogeneous, smooth and crack-free Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ codoped Al₂O₃ thin films form at the conditions by a molar ratio of 1:1 for DMF:Al(OC₃H₇)₃. A strong photoluminescence spectrum with a broadband extending from 1.400 to 1.700 µm centered at 1.533 µm is obtained for the Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ codoped Al₂O₃ thin films, which is unrelated to the addition of DMF. Controllable formation of the Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ codoped Al₂O₃ thin films may be explained by the fact that the DMF assisted the deprotonation process of Al–OH at the surfaces of gel particles, resulting in enhancement of the degree of polymerization of sols and improvement of the mechanical properties of gel thin films.     

Preparation, patterning and luminescent properties of nanocrystalline Gd2O3:A (A=Eu, Dy, Sm, Er) phosphor films via Pechini sol–gel soft lithography

Nanocrystalline Gd₂O₃:A (A=Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺, Sm³⁺, Er³⁺) phosphor films and their patterning were fabricated by a Pechini sol–gel process combined with a soft lithography. X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy, UV/vis transmission and photoluminescence (PL) spectra as well as lifetimes were used to characterize the resulting films. The results of XRD indicated that the films began to crystallize at 500 °C and that the crystallinity increased with the elevation of annealing temperatures. Uniform and crack free non-patterned phosphor films were obtained by optimizing the composition of the coating sol, which mainly consisted of grains with an average size of 70 nm and a thickness of 550 nm. Using micro-molding in capillaries technique, we obtained homogeneous and defects-free patterned gel and crystalline phosphor films with different stripe widths (5, 10, 20 and 50 μm). Significant shrinkage (50%) was observed in the patterned films during the heat treatment process. The doped rare earth ions (A) showed their characteristic emission in crystalline Gd₂O₃ phosphor films due to an efficient energy transfer from Gd₂O₃ host to them. Both the lifetimes and PL intensity of the rare earth ions increased with increasing the annealing temperature from 500 to 900 °C, and the optimum concentrations for Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺, Sm³⁺, Er³⁺ were determined to be 5, 0.25, 1 and 1.5 mol% of Gd³⁺ in Gd₂O₃ films, respectively.     

New transparent conducting MgIn2O4---Zn2In2O5 thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering

New materials for a transparent conducting oxide film are demonstrated. Highly transparent Zn₂In₂O₅ films with a resistivity of 3.9 × 10⁻⁴ Ω cm were prepared on substrates at room temperature using a pseudobinary compound powder target composed of ZnO (50 mol.%) and In₂O₃ (50 mol.%) by r.f. magnetron sputtering. MgIn₂O₄---Zn₂In₂O₅ films were prepared using MgIn₂O₄ targets with a ZnO content of 0–100 wt.%. The resistivity of the deposited films gradually decreased from 2 × 10⁻³ to 3.9 × 10⁻⁴ Ω cm as the Zn/(Mg + Zn) atomic ratio introduced into the films was increased. The greatest transparency was obtained in a MgIn₂O₄ film. The optical absorption edge of the films decreased as the Zn/(Mg + Zn) atomic ratio was increased, corresponding to the bandgap energy of their materials. It was found that the resistance of the undoped Zn₂In₂O₅ films was more stable than either the undoped MgIn₂O₄, ZnO or In₂O₃ films in oxidizing environments at high temperatures.     

Sol–gel synthesis and luminescence of unexpected microrod crystalline Ca5La5(SiO4)3(PO4)3O2:Dy phosphors employing different silicate sources

Ca₅La₅(SiO₄)₃(PO₄)₃O₂ doped with Dy³⁺ were synthesized by sol–gel technology with hybrid precursor employed four different silicate sources, 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane (APMS), 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APES), 3-aminopropyl-methyl-diethoxysilane (APMES) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), respectively. The SEM diagraphs show that there exist some novel unexpected morphological structures of microrod owing to the crosslinking reagents than TEOS as silicate source for their amphipathy template effect. X-ray pictures confirm that Ca₅La₅(SiO₄)₃(PO₄)₃O₂:Dy³⁺ compound is formed by a pure apatitic phase. The Dy³⁺ ions could emit white light in Ca₅La₅(SiO₄)₃(PO₄)₃O₂ compound, and the ratio of Y/B is 1.1, when the Dy³⁺ doped concentration is 1.0 mol%.     

Optical absorption and emission properties of Er doped mixed alkali borosilicate glasses

This paper presents the optical absorption and luminescence properties of Er³⁺ doped mixed alkali borosilicate glasses: 59.5SiO₂ · 20B₂O₃ · xLi₂O · (20 − x)Na₂O · 0.5Er₂O₃ and 59.5SiO₂ · 20B₂O₃ · xLi₂O · (20 − x)K₂O · 0.5Er₂O₃, with x = 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mol%. The variations of Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters (Ω₂, Ω₄, and Ω₆), hypersensitive transition intensities, total radiative transition probability (A_T), radiative lifetimes (τ_R), integrated absorption cross-sections (Σ) and stimulated emission cross-sections (σ_p) as a function of x are discussed in detail. The changes in Ω₂ and intensities of hypersensitive transitions are attributed to optical basicity changes in the host glass matrix, which leads to variations in the covalency of the Er–O bond. The luminescence properties are reported for certain transitions, and the emission cross-section is high at x = 8–12 in the case of lithium sodium glass, whereas in lithium potassium glass it is high at x = 8.

Long lasting phosphorescence of Sr4Al14O25:Eu,Dy thin films by magnetron sputtering

This paper reports the preparation process and the long lasting phosphorescence of the Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ thin films obtained by magnetron sputtering. Phosphorescence was achieved by annealing the films in reducing atmosphere. Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅ thin film was obtained when the films were treated at 1200 °C, while SrAl₂O₄ was generated as the intermediate phase during the annealing process. Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ film generated an emission at 485 nm, and SrAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ film showed an emission peaking at 515 nm. Afterglow characteristics were observed for both films, and Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ film showed a better afterglow property than the SrAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ film due to a deeper trap level and a higher trap concentration formed in the thin films.

In situ co-precipitation synthesis and photoluminescence of YxGd1−xVO4:Tm microcrystalline phosphors by hybrid precursors

Y_xGd_1−xVO₄:Tm³⁺ (5 mol%) phosphors were prepared by in situ co-precipitation technology with the different content ratio of Y/Gd (x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, respectively). During the process, rare earth coordination polymers with o-hydroxylbenzoate were used as precursors, composing with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as dispersing media. After heat-treatment of the resulting multicomponent hybrid precursors at 900 °C, the samples were obtained. SEM indicated the particles present good crystalline state, whose crystalline grain sizes were about 0.2–2 μm. Under the excitation of 257 nm, all the materials show the characteristic emission of Tm³⁺ which is the strong blue emission centered at 475 nm originating from ¹G₄ → ³H₆ of Tm³⁺. Besides this, concentration quenching appears in the system of YVO₄:Tm³⁺ and GdVO₄:Tm³⁺. And when x reaches 0.5, the system of Y_xGd_1−xVO₄:Tm³⁺ shows the strongest blue emission.     

Influence of Mn doping on microstructure and DC-accelerated aging behaviors of ZnO–V2O5-based varistors

The microstructure, electrical properties, dielectric characteristics, and DC-accelerated aging behavior of the ZnO–V₂O₅–MnO₂ system sintered were investigated for MnO₂ content of 0.0–2.0 mol% by sintering at 900 °C. For all samples, the microstructure of the ZnO–V₂O₅–MnO₂ system consisted of mainly ZnO grain and secondary phase Zn₃(VO₄)₂. The incorporation of MnO₂ to the ZnO–V₂O₅ system was found to restrict the abnormal grain growth of ZnO. The nonlinear properties and stability against DC-accelerated aging stress improved with the increase of MnO₂ content. The ZnO–V₂O₅–MnO₂ system added with MnO₂ content of 2.0 mol% exhibited not only a high nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear coefficient is 27.2 and the leakage current density is 0.17 mA/cm², but also a good stability, in which %ΔE_1 mA = −0.6%, %Δ = −26.1%, and %Δtan δ = +22% for DC-accelerated aging stress of 0.85E_1 mA/85 °C/24 h.     

Deposition and photoluminescence of sol–gel derived Tb:Zn2SiO4 films on SiO2/Si

Tb³⁺ doped Zn₂SiO₄ films have been deposited on SiO₂ buffered Si wafers by sol–gel method. The structures of these films have been investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that these films were composed of nanometer-size grains with a Willemite structure and had smooth surfaces. Photoluminescence measurements of the films showed a strong emission from ⁵D₄ to ⁷F₅ at 544 nm. The blue emission from ⁵D₃–⁷F_j was depressed because of cross-relaxation effect. The decay kinetics of the ⁵D₄–⁷F₅ green emission was studied and a best fitting was obtained by a double exponential function. The lifetime of the excited ⁵D₄ state is estimated to be 5.2 ms.     

Crystal growth and spectral properties of pure and Co-doped Mg3B2O6 crystal

Novel pure and cobalt-doped magnesium borate crystals (Mg₃B₂O₆) have been grown successfully by the Czochralski technique for the first time. Crystal growth, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum as well as fluorescence decay curve of Co²⁺:Mg₃B₂O₆ (MBO) were described. From the absorption peaks for the octahedral Co²⁺ ions, the crystal-field parameter Dq and the Racah parameter B were estimated to be 943.3 cm⁻¹ and 821.6 cm⁻¹, respectively. The fluorescence lifetime of the transition ⁴T₁(⁴P) → ⁴T₂ centered at 717 nm was measured to be 9.68 ms.     

Ce:YAG荧光陶瓷掺杂Gd对白光LED发光性能的影响

Ce: YAG荧光陶瓷具有突出的导热性及化学稳定性, 相比有机硅胶封装法在高功率白光LED的应用上具有更广阔的应用前景。本研究采用真空固相烧结法制备了不同Gd掺杂浓度的(Gd, Y)₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce样品, 通过XRD, SEM及荧光光谱等表征手段, 研究了Gd掺杂对Ce:YAG荧光陶瓷的晶体结构及其用于白光LED时对发光性能的影响。实验表明, 随着Gd掺杂浓度的提高, Gd³⁺取代Y³⁺ 的位置进入晶格, 使得样品的晶格常数增加。Gd³⁺还影响了Ce³⁺对蓝光的吸收, 同时Ce³⁺将蓝光转换成黄光的效率也下降, 导致光效从81.45 lm/W降低至63.70 lm/W。Gd的掺 杂使Ce³⁺的光致发光谱峰位从534 nm向564 nm红移, 显色指数从61.3提升至70.2。Gd的掺杂虽然降低了发光 效率, 但显著提高了(Gd, Y)₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce样品的显色指数, 使得黄色YAG荧光陶瓷应用于白光LED的性能得到了 提高。     

Preparation and photoluminescence properties of Eu-doped Ga2O3 nanorods

GaOOH:Eu³⁺ nanorods with different aspect ratios were prepared by hydrothermal method at 140 °C. - and β-Ga₂O₃:Eu³⁺ were converted from as-prepared GaOOH:Eu³⁺ particles by calcination at 500 and 850 °C, respectively. The products were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL). Results show that solution pH values play a key role in the formation of the GaOOH:Eu³⁺ powders with different morphologies and - and β-Ga₂:Eu³⁺ inherit the morphology of GaOOH:Eu³⁺ exactly. The photoluminescence characteristics of β-Ga₂O₃:Eu³⁺ were also investigated. Experimental results reveal that the color purity of β-Ga₂O₃:Eu³⁺ nanorods with high aspect ratio is enhanced in comparison with β-Ga₂O₃:Eu³⁺ nanorods with low aspect ratio.     

Preparation and optical properties of sol–gel derived Er-doped Al2O3–Ta2O5 films

Thin films of the system xAl₂O₃–(100 − x)Ta₂O₅–1Er₂O₃ were prepared by a sol–gel method and a dip-coating technique. The influences of the composition and the crystallization of the films on Er³⁺ optical properties were investigated. Results of X-ray diffraction indicated that the crystallization temperature of Ta₂O₅ increased from 800 to 1000 °C with increased values of x. In crystallized films, the intensities of the visible fluorescence and upconversion fluorescence tend to decrease with an increase in x values, due to the high phonon energy of Al₂O₃; the strongest fluorescence is observed in a crystallized film for x = 4 heat treated at 1000 °C. In amorphous films obtained by heat treatment at relatively low temperatures the Er³⁺ fluorescence could not be observed because strong fluorescence from organic residues remaining in the films thoroughly covered the Er³⁺ fluorescence. On the other hand, the Er³⁺ upconversion fluorescence in the amorphous films was observed to be stronger than that in the crystallized films. The strongest upconversion fluorescence is observed in an amorphous film for x = 75 heat treated at 800 °C.
