Lessons learned with the SAGE spectrometer
2012
The SAGE spectrometer combines a high-efficiency γ-ray detection system with an electron spectrometer. Some of the design features have been known to be problematic and surprises have come up during the early implementation of the spectrometer. Tests related to bismuth germanate Compton-suppression shields, electron detection efficiency and an improved cooling system are discussed in the paper.
Luminescence of GeO2 glass, rutile-like and α-quartz-like crystals
2006
Abstract The luminescence of GeO 2 rutile-like crystals was studied. Crystals were grown from a melt of germanium dioxide and sodium bicarbonate mixture. Luminescence of the crystal was compared with that of sodium germanate glasses produced in reduced and oxidized conditions. A luminescence band at 2.3 eV was observed under N 2 laser (337 nm). At higher excitation photon energies and X-ray excitation an additional band at 3 eV appears in luminescence. The band at 2.3 eV possesses intra-center decay time constant about 100 μs at 290 K and about 200 μs at low temperature. Analogous luminescence was obtained in reduced sodium germanate glasses. No luminescence was observed in oxidized glasses…
Defect Luminescence Study in Tetragonal GeO2 Crystals
2000
The perovskite-or rutile-like GeO2 crystals were grown by the “top-seed” method from a fused germanium dioxide solution with sodium bicarbonate. The luminescence was studied under cathode-, x-ray, and photo-excitation. There are two luminescence bands at 550 nm and 400 nm with slow (100–200 µs) and fast (<20 ns) decay, respectively. The luminescence can be excited either by intra-center and electron-hole recombination processes. An analogous luminescence, however with strong non-exponential decay, is observed in glassy materials obtained from the frozen solution. Sodium-germanate glasses melted under oxygen deficient condition also possess similar luminescence, therefore the luminescence is…
Experimental and Theoretical Investigations on Structural and Vibrational Properties of Melilite-Type Sr2ZnGe2O7 at High Pressure and Delineation of …
2015
We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of melilite-type germanate, Sr2ZnGe2O7, under compression. In situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements up to 22 GPa were complemented with first-principles theoretical calculations of structural and lattice dynamics properties. Our experiments show that the tetragonal structure of Sr2ZnGe2O7 at ambient conditions transforms reversibly to a monoclinic phase above 12.2 Gpa with similar to 1% volume drop at the phase transition pressure. Density functional calculations indicate the transition pressure at, similar to 13 GPa, which agrees well with the experimental value. The structure of the high-pressure mono…
Role of diffusing molecular hydrogen on relaxation processes in Ge-doped glass
2007
Temperature dependencies of steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) from triplet state at 3.1 eV and singlet state at 4.2 eV ascribed to the twofold-coordinated Ge have been measured in unloaded and H2-loaded Ge-doped silica samples under 5.0 eV excitation in the 10–310 K range. Experimental evidences indicate that diffusing molecular hydrogen (H2) depopulates by a collisional mechanism the triplet state, decreasing both its lifetime of about 14% and the associated triplet PL intensity, whereas those of the singlet are insensitive to the presence of H2.

Raman and optical reflection spectra of germanate and silicate glasses
2005
Abstract Germanate and phosphosilicate glasses made in oxygen surplus conditions were studied by Raman and optical reflection methods. We found that the optical reflection spectra of the germanate glasses are quite similar to the one those of a GeO 2 crystal with the α-quartz structure. The reflection of phosphosilicate glasses is very close to silica glass-related spectra. Hence, the determining influence of the tetrahedral structure on reflection spectra is revealed. The Raman spectra of germanate samples are similar to those reported the one known in the literature. Octahedral entities, namely bands similar to stishovite vibration modes, were difficult to detect in phosphosilicate glasse…
