Enhancement of ultrabroadband Bi NIR emission via fluorination for all wavelength amplification of optical communication

Bismuth (Bi)-doped photonic glasses and fibers with broadband near-infrared (NIR) photoemission have potential applications in tunable lasers and broadband amplifiers. Yet, when it comes to all wavelength amplification of optical communication, it remains challenging to achieve efficient Bi NIR emission in the technically relevant C- and L- bands (1530-1625 nm). Here, we propose a scheme by fluorination triggered enhancement of ultra-broadband Bi NIR emission in nitrided germanate glasses. Besides, compared to previous research, a unique and efficient Bi-activated ultra-wideband NIR emission with new emission bands peaked at ~924 and ~1520 nm under excitation of 450 nm are obtained in nitrided germanate glasses after fluorination. Moreover, the fluorination can modulate the local chemical environment by forcing the conversion of aluminum species from AlO₄ to AlO₅ and AlO₆ and consequently increase the flexibility of the glass network structure, which finally induces the conversion of Bi species and then manipulates the relative emission intensity of different Bi NIR centers. Thus, a flat and tunable emission spectrum covering the entire optical communication band is obtained by optimizing the fluoride amount. We believe this work is helpful to design the Bi-doped tunable fiber lasers and ultra-broadband amplifiers for all wavelength amplification of optical communication.     

Broadband excited Na3Tb(PO4)2:Ce3+/Eu2+ green/yellow-emitting phosphors with high color purity for LED-based application

To enhance the display quality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), it is of great significance to exploit green/yellow-emitting phosphors with narrow emission band, high quantum yield, and excellent color purity to satisfy the application. Herein, orthophosphate-based green/yellow-emitting Na₃Tb(PO₄)₂:Ce³⁺/Eu²⁺ (NTPO:Ce³⁺/Eu²⁺) phosphors have been successfully synthesized by a facile solid-state reaction method. The absorption band of NTPO samples was extended to the near-ultraviolet region and the absorption efficiency was significantly improved owing to a highly efficient energy transfer from Ce³⁺/Eu²⁺ ion to Tb³⁺ ion in NTPO host certified by time-resolved PL spectra. Upon 300 nm excitation, the NTPO:Ce³⁺ is characterized by ultra-narrow-band green emission of Tb³⁺ with an absolute quantum yield of 94.5%. Unexpectedly, NTPO:Eu²⁺ emits bright yellow light with a color purity of 73% as a result of the blending of green light emission from Tb³⁺ and red light emission from Eu³⁺. The thermal stability has been improved by controlling the stoichiometric ratio of Na⁺. The prototype white LED used yellow-emitting NTPO:Eu²⁺ phosphor has higher color-rendering index (Ra = 83.5), lower correlated color temperature (CCT = 5206 K), and closer CIE color coordinates (0.338, 0.3187) to the standard white point at (0.333, 0.333) than that used green-emitting NTPO:Ce³⁺ phosphor, indicating the addition of the yellow light component improved the Ra of the trichromatic (RGB) materials.

高强铝合金沿晶断裂声发射研究

高强度铝合金沿晶界断裂过程中的声发射信号特征反映了材料沿轧制方向的宏观性能。在带有预制裂纹的双悬臂梁(DCB)试样中，裂纹失稳扩展前，先有一短距离的韧窝状穿晶撕裂的稳态裂纹扩展。稳态裂纹扩展起始于K1C并发射出许多幅值超过阈值35dB的信号。当稳态裂纹扩展至Kmax时，便出现失稳的沿晶开裂。对稳态及失稳的裂纹扩展两种情况，其累计声发射能量均与宏观断裂能呈线性关系。

Synergistic influence of alloy grain size and Si content on the oxidation behavior of 9Cr−1Mo steel

The synergistic influence of prior-austenite grain size and silicon content of 9Cr–1Mo steel on the resistance to scale spallation has been studied in air at 773 K (for 500 hr) and 973 K (12 hr). Two steels, irrespective of their grain size and Si content, did not show spallation during oxidation at 773 K. Spallation occurred at 973 K, and fine-grain steels exhibited less spallation resistance than coarse-grain ones (in low-as well as high-Si steels). Among the four possible combinations of grain size ans Si content, the steel with low Si and fine grains showed least resistance to spallation, while the steel with high Si and coarse grains showed the best resistance. Spallation was found to initiate in the areas adjoining the oxide ridges formed at the alloy grain boundaries. Oxide scales at the ridges and within the grains were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDX) and secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). These analyses suggest depletion of silicon from the areas adjoining grain boundaries, resulting in thicker scaling that triggers spallation in such areas. For similar grain-size materials, the necessary thickness for spallation was attained earlier with low-Si steel rather than in high-Si steel.
