Luminescent Properties of A Novel Terbium Complex Tb（o-BBA）3（phen）

A novel rare earth complex of terbium ion with 2-benzoylbenzoic acid and 1, 10-phenathroline （Tb（o-BBA）3 （phen）, o-BBA-2-benzoylbenzoic acid, phen = 1, 10-phenathroline） was used as an electroluminescent material for the first time. The Tb complex was blended with poly（N-vinylcarbazole） （PVK） in different weight ratios and spinn to coated into films （noted as PVK ：Tb films）. The photoluminescence （PL） properties of films were investigated and the optimum weight ratio between PVK and Tb（o-BBA）3（phen） was found to be 3：1. Monolayer devices with the structure ITO/PVK： Tb/AI were fabricated and emitted green light, which was characteristic of Tb^3＋ emission. The results show that mecha- nisms for PL and EL are different. The PL is considered to be caused because of energy transfer and direct excitation to the Tb（o-BBA）3（phen） molecule, while EL is mainly on charging trapping.

Electroluminescent Property of A Novel Co-Doped Rare Earth Complex

A novel co-doped rare earth complex Gd0.5Eu0.5（TTA）3Dipy was synthesized and chosen as the emitter material in the organic electroluminescent device ITO/PVK：Gd0.5 Eu0.5 （TTA）3Dipy/PBD/A1. It was proved that there was Forster energy transfer from Gd^3＋ to Eu^3＋. The electroluminescent mechanism of the device was proposed by measuring and analyzing the emission and the excitation spectra of the emissive layer. Gd^3＋ might play the role of promoting the en- ergy transfer from PVK to Eu^3＋ and inhibiting an intrinsic luminescence of PVK. The device displayed red light with good monochromaticity. The possible energy transfer process of the device was preliminarily discussed.

Novel Terbium Chelate Doped Fluorescent Silica Nanoparticles

Novel terbium chelate doped silica fluorescent nanoparticles were prepared and characterized. The preparation was carried out in water-in-oil （W/O） microemulsion containing monomer precursor （pAB-DTPAA-APTEOS）, Triton X-100, n-hexanol, and cyclohexane by controlling copolymerization of tetraethyl orthosilicate and 3-aminopropyl-triethyloxysilane. The nanoparticles are spherical and uniform in size, about 30 nm in diameter, strongly fluorescent, and highly stable. The amino groups directly introduced to the surface of the nanoparticles using APTEOS during preparation made the surface modification and bioconjugation of the nanoparticles easier. The nanoparticles are expected as an efficient timeresolved luminescence biological label.     

Synthesis and Fluorescence Properties of Europium,Terbium Doped Zn^2＋, Cd^2＋, and Cr^3＋ Complexes

Europium and terbium complexes with strong fluorescence intensity and long fluorescence lifetime were prepared. By replacing half of the europium or terbium ion with M （M = Zn^2＋, Cd^2＋, and Cr^3＋） using the doped method, and then incorporating it with 18-crown-6 ether and terephthalic acid, six heteronuclear samples EuZnLL＇Cl3·3H2O（1）, EuCdLL2＇Cl3·5H2O（2）, EuCrLL＇Cl4· 4H2O（3）, TbZnLL＇Cl3·4H2O（4）, TbCdLL＇2Cl3·4H2O（5）, and TbCrLL＇2Cl4 ·4H2O（6） （L = terephthalic acid, L＇= 18-Crown-6 ether） were obtained. The elemental analysis, molar conductivities, rare earth complexometry, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy （FT-IR）, ultraviolet （UV）, TGA, fluorescence intensity, and fluorescence lifetime of the samples were measured. The results showed that there were good luminescence properties for heteronuclear complexes （1）, （2）, （4）, and （5）, which were even stronger than those of the homonuclear complexes Eu2LL＇2Cl4·4H2O and Tb2LL＇2Cl4 ·4H2O, but the luminescence properties of EuCrLL＇Cl4·4H2O, TbCrLL＇Cl4·4H2O were very weak. A possible luminescence mechanism was suggested by the organic-inorganic doped mechanism and the law of intramolecular energy transfer.     

Study on Luminescence Properties of a Novel Rare Earth Complex Eu（ TTA）2 （N-HPA） Phen

A novel rare earth complex Eu（TTA）2（N-HPA）Phen （TTA = thenoyltrifluoroacetone, N-HPA = N-phenylanthranilic acid, and phen = 1,10-phenathroline ）, which contains three different ligands, was synthesized. The Eu complex was blended with poly N-vinylcarbazole （PVK） in different weight ratios and spin coated into films. The luminescence properties of films were investigated and energy transfer between PVK and the complex was discussed. Multilayer structural devices consisting of ITO/PVK： Eu （TTA）2 （N-HPA） phen/BCP/Alq3/Al were fabricated with PVK ： Eu （TTA）2（N-HPA） as light-emitting layer. Increasing the concentration of Eu in the PVK thin film would inhibit the emission of PVK to different degrees. Finally, the pure red luminescence of europium（ Ⅲ ） was observed when the doping weight ratio was approximately 1 ： 5, which indicated an effective energy transfer from PVK to rare earth complex.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Fluorescence Properties of Europium, Terbium Complexes with Biphenyl-4-Carboxylic Acid and o-Phenanthroline

Two series of solid complexes of europium and terbium with biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid and phen were synthesized and characterized in this report. Their elemental analysis, molar conductivities and TG-DTA studies indicate that the complexes have the composition of Eu(phen)L3·1/2H2O, Eu0.5RE0.5(phen)L3·1/2H2O; Tb(phen)L3·H2O and Tb0.5RE0.5(Phen)L3·1/2H2O. (RE=Y3 , La3 and Gd3 ; L=biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid; phen=o-Phenanthroline). The studies of their IR, UV 1H NMR and molar conductivities demonstrate that biphenyl 4-carboylic acid is bounded with RE(Ⅲ) ion. Rare earth ions coordinate with two nitrogen atoms of phen molecules directly in these rare earth complexes. The fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetimes of the rare earth complexes show that the fluorescent intensity and lifetime of a series of europium complexes are longer than those of the series of terbium complexes as having the some ligands. There are better fluorescent intensity and lifetime of hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes than homo-nuclear rare earth complexes for europium complexes. The fluorescence emission intensity of Eu3 is raised by inert fluorescent rare earth ions (Y3 , Gd3 and La3 ), but in Tb3 hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes the intensity of Tb3 ions are quenched by the inert fluorescent rare earth ions.     

Doped Organic Electroluminescence from a Novel Rare Earth Complex Tb （3-metho） 3 phen

A novel rare earth complex Tb (3-metho)3phen was synthesized and characterized. The complex was doped into PVK to improve the conductivity and film-forming property of Tb(3-metho) 3phen. A device with a structure of ITO/PVK: Tb(3-metho)3phen/Al was fabricated to study the eleetrolumineseent properties of Tb(3-metho) 3 phen. And the optoluminescent and AFM properties of this device were also studied, which proved the existence of energy transfer from PVK to Tb(3-metho)3phen. As a result, a pure green emission with sharp spectral band at 547.5 nm was observed.     

Physical Properties of Liquid Terbium Measured by Levitation Techniques

To understand the nature and behavior of rare earth metals in their liquid phases, accurate values of their physical properties are essential. However, to measure their physical properties, the samples should be maintained in liquid phases for prolonged time, and this raises a formidable challenge. This is mainly explained by their high melting temperatures （e.g., 1629 K for Tb）, high vapor pressure, and the risk of melt contamination with a crucible or support. An electrostatic levitation furnace alleviated these difficulties and allowed the determination of density, surface tension, and viscosity of several metals above their melting temperature. Here, first, the levitation furnace facility and the noncontact diagnostic procedures were briefly discussed, followed by the explanation of their thermophysical property measurements over wide temperature ranges. The density was obtained using an ultraviolet-based imaging technique that allowed excellent illumination, even at elevated temperatures. Over the 1615 to 1880 K temperature span, the density measurements could be expressed as p（T） =7.84 × 10^3 -0.47 （T - Tm） （kg · m^-3） with Tm = 1629 K, yielding a volume expansion coefficient a（T） = 6.0 × 10^-5 （K^-1）. In addition, the surface tension and the viscosity could be determined by inducing a drop oscillation to a molten sample. Using this technique, the surface tension data could be expressed as σ（T） = 8.93 × 10^2 - 0.10 （T - Tm）（mN· m^-1） and those for viscosity as η（T） =0.583 exp [4.1 × 10^4/（RT）] （MPa·s） over the 1690 to 1980 K temperature range
