Remote voltage synchronization for wireless Partial Discharge diagnostics
2016
The main objective of this paper is the assessment of the exact phase angle displacement of each Partial Discharge, PD, pulse with respect to the voltage reference waveform. Such problem also referred to as ‘synchronization’ is relevant when the cable is not accessible and the PD measure is carried out in wireless mode. It is well known, that the angle phase shift, due to the propagation phenomenon on the transmission line, can be calculated knowing the line type and length and typical operating conditions of the transmission line. The setup comprises a customized electronic device, the “Phase check”, a server to collect remote measurements and a Look up table to provide corrections to the …
Stability of the fergusonite phase in GdNbO 4 by high pressure XRD and Raman experiments
2017
Abstract We describe the results of high pressure x-ray diffraction and Raman measurements on gadolinium orthoniobate. The ambient pressure monoclinic fergusonite phase remains stable in a remarkable large pressure range. There is no significative evolution of the monoclinic distortion up to 25 GPa , the maximum pressure achieved. Instead, the anisotropic compressibility is associated to the stiffness of NbO 4 tetrahedra in respect to the GdO 8 polyhedra. The high pressure evolution of external modes parallels the wavenumber dependence on ionic radius along the lanthanide series. The chemical pressure analogy is attributed to the compression of GdO 8 polyhedra. There is no evidence of any p…
FIRST-PRINCIPLES LCAO CALCULATIONS ON 5D TRANSITION METAL OXIDES: ELECTRONIC AND PHONON PROPERTIES
2009
ABSTRACT First-principles quantum chemistry calculations within the periodic linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) formalism have been used to probe electronic and phonon properties of crystalline 5d transition metal oxides ReO3, ZnWO4 and CaWO4. The obtained equilibrium crystal structure is in good agreement with known crystallographic data. Rhenium trioxide is correctly predicted to be a metal, whereas both tungstates—a wide gap insulating compounds. The phonon frequencies, calculated by the frozen phonon method, agree rather well with those obtained by infrared and Raman spectroscopies.
Highly phosphorescent perfect green emitting iridium(iii) complex for application in OLEDs.
2007
A novel iridium complex, [bis-(2-phenylpyridine)(2-carboxy-4-dimethylaminopyridine)iridium(III)] (N984), was synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic and electrochemical methods; a solution processable OLED device incorporating the N984 complex displays electroluminescence spectra with a narrow bandwidth of 70 nm at half of its intensity, with colour coordinates of x = 0.322; y = 0.529 that are very close to those suggested by the PAL standard for a green emitter.

Luminescence of unfused 95%SiO2–5%GeO2 amorphous films with fluorine additive: No evidence for presence of GeODC(I) defects found
2013
Abstract Photoluminescence (PL) of unfused amorphous germanosilicate films with fluorine additive is studied in 2–8.5 eV spectral range. Experiments are based on films deposited on silica substrates by means of the surface-plasma chemical vapor deposition (SPCVD). Films of about 100 μm in thickness with “high F” (~ 4.2 wt.%) and “low F” (~ 0.5 wt.%) fluorine content have been fabricated for the experiments. KrF (248 nm), ArF (193 nm) and F2 (157 nm) excimer lasers are used to pump PL. It is found that absorption and luminescence associated with germanium oxygen deficient centers (GeODCs) in “high F” and “low F” films differ. In the “high F” unfused film absorption coefficient of the band at…
Local structure of gadolinium in oxyfluoride glass matrices containing SrF2 and BaF2 crystallites
2016
Abstract Gd3 + doped aluminosilicate oxyfluoride glasses and glass-ceramics containing SrF2 and BaF2 crystallites have been studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy techniques. A pronounced EPR fine structure emerges after the heat treatment of the glass matrix. EPR spectra simulations indicate the formation of cubic, tetragonal and trigonal Gd3 + centres in the studied compositions.
Effect of annealing treatment on the persistent luminescence of Y3Al2Ga3O12:Ce3+,Cr3+,Pr3+ ceramics
2020
Abstract The Y3Al2Ga3O12:Ce3+,Cr3+,Pr3+ (YAGG) persistent luminescent ceramics were sintered in static air (without airflow) and followed by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment. The low aggregated and relatively narrow particle-size distributed starting powders, with the particle size of about 50 nm, were synthesized by using Pechini method and then annealed at 900 °C for 16 h in static air. Compared to nano-phosphors, the ceramics exhibited more intense and longer persistent luminescence (PersL). The photoluminescence and PersL spectra were found to have a similar shape, indicating that the emitting centers for photoluminescence and PersL processes were same. The intense Ce3+ and Cr3+ b…
Efficient photoluminescent thin films consisting of anchored hybrid perovskite nanoparticles
2016
Methylammonium lead bromide nanoparticles are synthetized with a new ligand (11-aminoundecanoic acid hydrobromide) by a non-template method. Upon dispersion in toluene they show a remarkable photoluminescence quantum yield of 80%. In addition, the bifunctional ligand allows anchoring of the nanoparticles on a variety of conducting and semiconducting surfaces, showing bright photoluminescence with a quantum yield exceeding 50%. This opens a path for the simple and inexpensive preparation of multilayer light-emitting devices.
