Energy transfer from Tb³⁺ to Eu³⁺ in zinc lead borate glass

In order to sensitize the luminescence of Eu3+ ions in heavy metal glass,zinc lead borate glass samples containing various concentrations of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions were prepared to study the Tb3+ to Eu3+ non-radiative energy transfer phenomena.Energy level structures of Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions were plotted to show the excitation and energy transfer routes.Efficient energy transfer from Tb3+ to Eu3+ was observed and studied qualitatively in terms of doping concentrations.The sensitization turned out to be less effective than expected.Further studies to characterize the oxidation of Tb3+ into tetravalent state and to examine the mechanism of energy transfer are proposed.     

Broadband downconversion in YVO4：Tm3＋,Yb3＋ phosphors

An efficient near-infrared (NIR) downconversion (DC) by converting broadband ultraviolet (UV) into NIR was demonstrated in YVO4:Tm3+,Yb3+ phosphors. The phosphors were extensively characterized using various methods such as X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence excitation, photoluminescence spectra and decay lifetime to provide supporting evidence for DC process. Upon UV light varying from 260 to 350 nm or blue light (473 nm) excitation, an intense NIR emission of Yb3+ corresponding to transition of 2F5/2→2F7/2 peaking at 985 nm was generated. The visible emission, the NIR mission and the decay lifetime of the phosphors of various Yb3+ concentrations were investigated. Experimental results showed that the energy transfer from vanadate group to Yb3+ via Tm3+ was very efficient. Application of the broadband DC YVO4:Tm3+,Yb3+ phosphors might greatly enhance response of siliconbased solar cells.

发光中心的自发辐射寿命对介质的依赖关系分析

为了阐明孤立发光中心自发辐射寿命对环境介质光学常数的依赖关系,从两个典型模型的前提假设出发分析了它们各自的适用条件.并在已有的实腔模型基础上推广出更普适的实腔模型.根据这两个模型的适用条件对文献中已有的实验结果和采用的理论模型分析进行了综合分析,发现现有的实验结果均可以得到圆满的解释.在此基础上,给出发光中心环境介质中发光寿命应该满足的模型的判据:对于稀土离子等孤立离子(其光学极化率可以当作零)作为发光中心时,其发光寿命的局域场效应所满足的模型与被替换的介质离子有关,在被替换的介质离子的极化率很小的情况下,为虚腔(Lorentz)模型,反之则满足实腔模型;当发光中心为纳米粒子(如量子点或含有发光离子的纳米尺度的绝缘体)时,局域场效应满足本文推广了的实腔模型.     

Dependence of the emission electric dipole line strength of Eu~(3+) on the composition of lead borate glasses

Lead borate glasses xB2O3+(99-x)PbO+0.5Eu2O3(x=70,60,...,10) were prepared by melt-quenching method.The luminescent properties were characterized with excitation and emission spectra.The emission intensities for 5D0-7FJ(J=0-4) were analyzed to give variation of the relative electric dipole line strengths with the composition of glasses so as to examine the crucial implicit assumption of independent electric dipole line strength on the composition of glass in the Phys.Rev.Lett.2003,91,203903 paper studying l...     

稀土光谱参量的第一性原理研究

稀土离子光谱的参量化理论在目前及可预见的将来仍是精确解释和预言稀土发光材料光谱性质的唯一可行的理论,但其预言能力在没有实验数据的前提下因难以确定参量值而在应用上受到很大限制.人们先后尝试用参量的唯象模型方法或直接采用第一性原理进行光谱计算来解决,仅取得了有限的成功.参量化理论 (及其唯象模型) 和第一性原理计算相结合是解决这一问题的途径.     

Interpretation of the 4f-5d Excitation Spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ Doped in Crystals

The structure of the low-temperature 4f^N→4f^N-15d excitation spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ doped in crystals LiYF4, YPO4 and CaF2 measured by van Pieterson et al. in 2002 was analyzed and assigned based on the simple model proposed by Duan and co-workers in the last few years. Some complemental discussion on effects of J-mixing on the f-d transition intensities for Eu^3＋ due to the f-electron crystal-field interaction Hcf（f）, which was ignored in the simple mod- el, was presented. Some previously unexplained peaks for Tb^3 ＋ were interpreted to be spin-forbidden transitions to higher 5d crystal-field levels, or assigned to be f→d excitations with the core 4f7 excited from ^8S to ^6P, ^6I and ^6D, respectively. It is shown that the main structure of 4f-Sd excitation spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ can be well interpreted with the simple model.
