The riddle of orange-red luminescence in Bismuth-doped silica glasses.

ABSTRACT: For over the past two decades it has been believed that the intense orange-red photoluminescence in Bismuth-doped materials originates from Bi[Formula: see text] ions. Based on the results from magnetic circular polarization experiments, we demonstrate that this hypothesis fails for Bismuth-doped silica glasses. Our findings contradict the generally accepted statement that the orange-red luminescence arises from [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] transition in a divalent Bismuth ion. The degree of magnetic circular polarization of this luminescence exhibits non-monotonic temperature and field dependencies, as well as sign reversal. This complex behaviour cannot be explained under the assumption of a single Bi[Formula: see text] ion. The detailed analysis enables us to construct a consistent diagram of energy levels involved in the magneto-optical experiments and propose a new interpretation of the nature of orange-red luminescence in Bismuth-doped silica glass. A centre responsible for this notorious photoluminescence must be an even-electron system with an integer total spin, presumably a dimer of Bismuth ions or a complex consisting of Bi[Formula: see text] and an oxygen vacancy.

Manganese-Doped, Lead-Free Double Perovskite Nanocrystals for Bright Orange-Red Emission.

Project description:Lead-free halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have recently attracted attention due to their nontoxicity and stability as alternatives to lead-based perovskite NCs. Here, we report undoped and manganese-doped all-inorganic, lead-free double perovskite (DP) NCs: Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6 (0 < x < 1) and Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6:Mn (0 ? x ? 1) NCs. Undoped NCs exhibit blue emission. Through doping Mn2+ ions into Cs2NaIn x Bi1-x Cl6 NCs, we can avoid self-trapped exciton emission and realize bright orange red emission of Mn2+ dopants with the highest photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 44.6%. The photoluminescence (PL) is tunable from yellow emission to orange-red emission corresponding to a red shift from 583 to 614 nm with increasing In content. Interestingly, the PL emission of Mn-doped NCs shows a red shift from the bulk size to the nanoscale. The Mn-doped NCs show good stability in air. In addition, we further prove the process of dark self-trapped state-assisted Mn2+ emission in DP NCs by ultrafast transient absorption techniques.

Quenching of the red Mn4+ luminescence in Mn4+-doped fluoride LED phosphors.

Project description:Red-emitting Mn4+-doped fluorides are a promising class of materials to improve the color rendering and luminous efficacy of white light-emitting diodes (w-LEDs). For w-LEDs, the luminescence quenching temperature is very important, but surprisingly no systematic research has been conducted to understand the mechanism for thermal quenching in Mn4+-doped fluorides. Furthermore, concentration quenching of the Mn4+ luminescence can be an issue but detailed investigations are lacking. In this work, we study thermal quenching and concentration quenching in Mn4+-doped fluorides by measuring luminescence spectra and decay curves of K2TiF6:Mn4+ between 4 and 600 K and for Mn4+ concentrations from 0.01% to 15.7%. Temperature-dependent measurements on K2TiF6:Mn4+ and other Mn4+-doped phosphors show that quenching occurs through thermally activated crossover between the 4T2 excited state and 4A2 ground state. The quenching temperature can be optimized by designing host lattices in which Mn4+ has a high 4T2 state energy. Concentration-dependent studies reveal that concentration quenching effects are limited in K2TiF6:Mn4+ up to 5% Mn4+. This is important, as high Mn4+ concentrations are required for sufficient absorption of blue LED light in the parity-forbidden Mn4+ d-d transitions. At even higher Mn4+ concentrations (>10%), the quantum efficiency decreases, mostly due to direct energy transfer to quenching sites (defects and impurity ions). Optimization of the synthesis to reduce quenchers is crucial for developing more efficient highly absorbing Mn4+ phosphors. The present systematic study provides detailed insights into temperature and concentration quenching of Mn4+ emission and can be used to realize superior narrow-band red Mn4+ phosphors for w-LEDs.

Effect of Partial Crystallization on the Structural and Luminescence Properties of Er3+-Doped Phosphate Glasses.

Project description:Er-doped phosphate glass ceramics were fabricated by melt-quenching technique followed by a heat treatment. The effect of the crystallization on the structural and luminescence properties of phosphate glasses containing Al₂O₃, TiO₂, and ZnO was investigated. The morphological and structural properties of the glass ceramics were characterized by Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and micro-Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, the luminescence spectra and the lifetime values were measured in order to study the influence of the crystallization on the spectroscopic properties of the glasses. The volume ratio between the crystal and the glassy phases increased along with the duration of the heat treatment. The crystallization of the glass ceramics was confirmed by the presence of sharp peaks in the XRD patterns and different crystal phases were identified depending on the glass composition. Sr(PO₃)₂ crystals were found to precipitate in all the investigated glasses. As evidenced by the spectroscopic properties, the site of the Er3+ ions was not strongly affected by the heat treatment except for the fully crystallized glass ceramic which does not contain Al₂O₃, TiO₂, and ZnO. An increase of the lifetime was also observed after the heat treatment of this glass. Therefore, we suspect that the Er3+ ions are incorporated in the precipitated crystals only in this glass ceramic.

Effect of absorption recovery in bismuth-doped silica glass at 1450 nm on soliton grouping in fiber laser.

Project description:Saturable absorption in bismuth-doped glasses was found to have a noticeable influence on soliton interaction and group formation. This phenomenon, observed in 1450 nm mode-locked bismuth-doped fiber laser, shows the distinct feature of the multiple pulse regime, which appears as a stationary pulse group whose length can be spread over the whole cavity length by variation of the pump power and polarization. Pulse positioning within the ensemble depends on the saturation fluence and the relatively fast recovery dynamics of bismuth fiber.

Enhancement of X-ray-Excited Red Luminescence of Chromium-Doped Zinc Gallate via Ultrasmall Silicon Carbide Nanocrystals.

Project description:X-ray-activated near-infrared luminescent nanoparticles are considered as new alternative optical probes due to being free of autofluorescence, while both their excitation and emission possess a high penetration efficacy in vivo. Herein, we report silicon carbide quantum dot sensitization of trivalent chromium-doped zinc gallate nanoparticles with enhanced near-infrared emission upon X-ray and UV-vis light excitation. We have found that a ZnGa2O4 shell is formed around the SiC nanoparticles during seeded hydrothermal growth, and SiC increases the emission efficiency up to 1 order of magnitude due to band alignment that channels the excited electrons to the chromium ion.

Grassy Silica Nanoribbons and Strong Blue Luminescence.

Project description:Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is one of the key materials in many modern technological applications such as in metal oxide semiconductor transistors, photovoltaic solar cells, pollution removal, and biomedicine. We report the accidental discovery of free-standing grassy silica nanoribbons directly grown on SiO2/Si platform which is commonly used for field-effect transistors fabrication without other precursor. We investigate the formation mechanism of this novel silica nanostructure that has not been previously documented. The silica nanoribbons are flexible and can be manipulated by electron-beam. The silica nanoribbons exhibit strong blue emission at about 467 nm, together with UV and red emissions as investigated by cathodoluminescence technique. The origins of the luminescence are attributed to various defects in the silica nanoribbons; and the intensity change of the blue emission and green emission at about 550 nm is discussed in the frame of the defect density. Our study may lead to rational design of the new silica-based materials for a wide range of applications.

Elastic moduli of permanently densified silica glasses.

Project description:Modelling the mechanical response of silica glass is still challenging, due to the lack of knowledge concerning the elastic properties of intermediate states of densification. An extensive Brillouin Light Scattering study on permanently densified silica glasses after cold compression in diamond anvil cell has been carried out, in order to deduce the elastic properties of such glasses and to provide new insights concerning the densification process. From sound velocity measurements, we derive phenomenological laws linking the elastic moduli of silica glass as a function of its densification ratio. The found elastic moduli are in excellent agreement with the sparse data extracted from literature, and we show that they do not depend on the thermodynamic path taken during densification (room temperature or heating). We also demonstrate that the longitudinal sound velocity exhibits an anomalous behavior, displaying a minimum for a densification ratio of 5%, and highlight the fact that this anomaly has to be distinguished from the compressibility anomaly of a-SiO2 in the elastic domain.

Iron(III)-doped, silica nanoshells: a biodegradable form of silica.

Project description:Silica nanoparticles are being investigated for a number of medical applications; however, their use in vivo has been questioned because of the potential for bioaccumulation. To obviate this problem, silica nanoshells were tested for enhanced biodegradability by doping iron(III) into the nanoshells. Exposure of the doped silica to small molecule chelators and mammalian serum was explored to test whether the removal of iron(III) from the silica nanoshell structure would facilitate its degradation. Iron chelators, such as EDTA, desferrioxamine, and deferiprone, were found to cause the nanoshells to degrade on the removal of iron(III) within several days at 80 °C. When the iron(III)-doped, silica nanoshells were submerged in fetal bovine and human serums at physiological temperature, they also degrade via removal of the iron by serum proteins, such as transferrin, over a period of several weeks.

GeS2-In2S3-CsI Chalcogenide Glasses Doped with Rare Earth Ions for Near- and Mid-IR Luminescence.

Project description:Chalcogenide glass has been considered as a promising host for the potential laser gain and amplifier media operating in near- and mid-IR spectral region. In this work, the IR luminescence spectra of rare earth ions (Tm3+, Er3+, and Dy3+) doped 65GeS2-25In2S3-10CsI chalcogenide glasses were measured under the excitation of an 808?nm laser diode. To the best of our knowledge, it firstly provides the luminescence spectra of a full near- and mid-IR spectral range from 1 to 4??m in rare earth ions doped chalcogenide glasses. The results of absorption spectra, luminescence spectra, and fluorescence decay curves were obtained in these samples with singly-, co- and triply-doping behaviors of Tm3+, Er3+, and Dy3+ ions. In order to search possible efficient IR emissions, the luminescence behavior was investigated specifically with the variation of doping behaviors and dopant ions, especially in the samples co- and triply-doped active ions. The results suggest that favorable near- and mid-IR luminescence of rare earth ions can be further modified in chalcogenide glasses through an elaborated design of doping behavior and optically active ions.

Development of ytterbium-doped oxyfluoride glasses for laser cooling applications.

Project description:Oxyfluoride glasses doped with 2, 5, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mol% of ytterbium (Yb(3+)) ions have been prepared by the conventional melt-quenching technique. Their optical, thermal and thermo-mechanical properties were characterized. Luminescence intensity at 1020 nm under laser excitation at 920 nm decreases with increasing Yb(3+) concentration, suggesting a decrease in the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). The PLQY of the samples was measured with an integrating sphere using an absolute method. The highest PLQY was found to be 0.99(11) for the 2 mol% Yb(3+): glass and decreases with increasing Yb(3+) concentration. The mean fluorescence wavelength and background absorption of the samples were also evaluated. Upconversion luminescence under 975 nm laser excitation was observed and attributed to the presence of Tm(3+) and Er(3+) ions which exist as impurity traces with YbF3 starting powder. Decay curves for the Yb(3+): (2)F5/2 ? (2)F7/2 transition exhibit single exponential behavior for all the samples, although lifetime decrease was observed for the excited level of Yb(3+) with increasing Yb(3+) concentration. Also observed are an increase in the PLQY and a slight decrease in lifetime with increasing the pump power. Finally, the potential of these oxyfluoride glasses with high PLQY and low background absorption for laser cooling applications is discussed.
