Luminescent silicon nanocrystals produced by near-infrared nanosecond pulsed laser ablation in water

2014

Abstract We report the investigation of luminescent nanoparticles produced by ns pulsed Nd:YAG laser ablation of silicon in water. Combined characterization by AFM and IR techniques proves that these nanoparticles have a mean size of ∼3 nm and a core–shell structure consisting of a Si-nanocrystal surrounded by an oxide layer. Time resolved luminescence spectra evidence visible and UV emissions; a band around 1.9 eV originates from Si-nanocrystals, while two bands centered at 2.7 eV and 4.4 eV are associated with oxygen deficient centers in the SiO 2 shell.

Raman and IR investigation of silica nanoparticles structure

2013

Abstract In the present investigation we report experimental data regarding the Raman and Infra-Red (IR) absorption activities of commercial silica nanoparticles. We compared the data of the nanoparticles with the ones acquired in the same experimental conditions for commercial bulk silica. By this comparison we highlighted that the variability of the spectral features of the matrix related Raman and IR bands in the nanoparticles is above the one observed for the bulk systems before any treatments. Furthermore, by studying nanoparticles with different sizes (diameters from 40 to 7 nm) and applying the shell-model we can suggest that the core network of the nanoparticles is close to the one …

Intrinsic generation of OH groups in dry silicon dioxide upon thermal treatments

2008

We show the existence of an intrinsic generation mechanism of OH groups in synthetic dry silica upon thermal treatments. Samples are treated for ~160 h at 390 °C in He at 2.7 or 180 bar, and the growth of the OH IR absorption band at 3670 cm−1 is observed. An OH concentration of ~10^18 cm^−3 is estimated. Possible contributions of reactions with molecules absorbed from the atmosphere are excluded. Reactions with H2O already contained in the samples are rejected by IR measurements. The observed OH generation is attributed to the reaction of network sites with H2 already present in the material. Possible reaction paths are examined

Luminescence Efficiency of Si/SiO 2 Nanoparticles Produced by Laser Ablation

2019

Photoluminescence properties of Si(core)/SiO 2 (shell) nanoparticles produced by pulsed laser ablation in aqueous solution are investigated with the purpose to highlight the microscopic processes that govern the emission brightness and stability. Time resolved spectra evidence that these systems emit a µs decaying band centered around 1.95 eV, that is associated with the radiative recombination of quantum-confined excitons generated in the Si nanocrystalline core. Both the quantum efficiency and the stability of this emission are strongly dependent on the pH level of the solution, that is changed after the laser ablation is performed. They enhance in acid environment because of the H + pass…

Luminescence properties of KNbO3 crystals

1997

Thermostimulated luminescence, X-ray-induced luminescence, photostimulated luminescence as well as the time-resolved luminescence and absorption after pulsed electron beam irradiation were studied in KNbO3 crystals at 80–400 K. A correlation between defects causing the luminescence and blue-light-induced IR absorption effects supressing the second harmonic generation efficiency in KNbO3 is discussed.

NIR-absorbing transition metal complexes with redox-active ligands

2020

Bench top stable transition metal (M = Co, Ni, Cu) complexes with a non-innocent ortho-aminophenol derivative were synthesized by the reaction of metal(II)acetates with a ligand precursor in 2:1 ratio. The solid-state structures reveal the formation of neutral molecular complexes with square planar coordination geometries. The Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes are paramagnetic, whereas the Ni complex is a diamagnetic square planar low-spin Ni(II) complex. All complexes, and Ni(II) complex in particular, show strong absorption in the near-IR region. Peer reviewed

1994

1 H, 13 C and 17 O NMR chemical shifts, n J(H,H) and n J(C,H) spin-spin coupling constants and IR absorption maxima and intensities for the most characteristic bands of methyl propanoate and all eleven chloropropanoic acid methyl esters are reported

Molecular spectra of liquors as method of studying delignification process

2011

FTIR-spectra of dried compounds of black liquors after aspen kraft cooks of different duration were obtained. Twelve samples corresponding to changing H-factor value in limits 4-1010 were investigated. The parameters of selected bands corresponding to lignin fragments vibrations were calculated using mathematical treatment methods. It was revealed that the positions and bandwidths of these lignin bands did not change. During cook at the first stage (H-factor values 4-200) their intensities strongly increased with different rates. During the next time period when the H-factor values were more than 200 a slow phase with small changes of the bands intensities were revealed. The IR-spectra of b…
