Optical absorption, luminescence, and ESR spectral properties of point defects in silica
2001
Publisher Summary This chapter is divided into two parts: (1) In the introductory part, it describes the problems of point defects in a-SiO2, and (2) in the second part it discusses the experimental results. This chapter focuses on the Oxygen-Deficient Centers (ODCs) species in silica. This chapter investigates the ODC defects in a-SiO2 through their optical absorption, photoluminescence, and electron spin resonance activities. The effects of γ-ray irradiation are also investigated to evidence their ability to generate or transform structural defects. The aim of this chapter is to understand the optical activity of such defects to help in the characterization of their structure. The propert…
Structure and Phase Changes in Natural and Synthetic Magnesium Aluminum Spinel
2015
Natural spinel crystals from Ural and Pamir deposits and synthetic magnesium aluminium spinel single crystals with different stoichiometry (MgO.nAl2O3 ) grown by Verneuil method were used. The photoluminescence (PL), its excitation (PLE) and optical absorption of stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric magnesium aluminium spinel crystals containing the chromium and manganese ions and defects produced by fast neutron irradiation( fluence up to 1020cm-2, E>0.1 MeV) are investigated. The broadening of R- and N-lines takes place in synthetic stoichiometric spinel. Structure of synthetic nonstoichiometric spinels (n>1) has to be more disordered, since in addition to the site exchange …
UV light induced luminescence processes in AlN nanotips and ceramics
2005
UV induced luminescence properties of AlN (Eg = 6.2 eV) have been studied for AlN nanotips and AlN ceramics, using methods of photoluminescence, optically stimulated luminescence and thermoluminescence. In both types of objects the main luminescence band, which appears in prompt and stimulated emission spectra around 400 nm, arises due to presence of oxygen-related defects. The main difference between AlN nanotips and AlN ceramics is observed in excitation spectra and TL properties. Basing on the experimental results it is assumed that several different energy transfer mechanisms occur in AlN. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Effect of Ce3+ concentration on persistent luminescence of YAGG:Ce3+,Cr3+,Nd3+ nanophosphors obtained by the co-precipitation method
2020
Abstract Synthesis of Y3Al2Ga3O12 garnet (YAGG) nanophosphors co-doped with Ce3+, Cr3+, and Nd3+ ions by co-precipitation is reported. The effect of Ce3+ concentration on the structure of garnet and on optical properties including persistent luminescence was investigated. The X-ray diffraction measurements showed that single garnet phase was obtained. The contraction of the crystallites size was observed with increasing the cerium concentration. The combined emission of three used co-dopants together allows to extend persistent luminescence spectral range. The photoluminescence, excitation and persistent luminescence spectra were collected and the optimal Ce3+ concentration for the highest …

Thermal Creation of Defects in GaTe
2008
Photoluminescence spectra of as-grown and annealed GaTe single crystals in the 0.7–1.8 eV range have been analyzed at different temperatures. Annealing up to 200 °C produces an increase in the recombination intensity of an excitonic characteristic. The annealing at 400 °C generates an intense optically active recombination in the infrared region (0.76 eV). The thermal generation of defects is possible, owing to the low melting temperature of GaTe (800 °C).
Electronic excitations in ZnWO4 and ZnxNi1−x WO4 (x = 0.1 − 0.9) using VUV synchrotron radiation
2011
The photoluminescence spectra and luminescence excitation spectra of pure microcrystalline and nano-sized ZnWO4 as well as the Zn x Ni1−x WO4 solid solutions were studied using vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) synchrotron radiation. The samples were also characterized by x-ray powder diffraction. We found that: (i) the shape of the photoluminescence band at 2.5 eV, being due to radiative electron transitions within the [WO6]6− anions, becomes modulated by the optical absorption of Ni2+ ions in the Zn x Ni1−x WO4 solid solutions; and (ii) no significant change in the excitation spectra of Zn0.9Ni0.1WO4 is observed compared to pure ZnWO4. At the same time, a shift of the excitonic bands to smaller en…

Spatial Distribution of the Nonlinear Photoluminescence in Au Nanowires
2019
When gold nanowires are excited with a tightly focused femtosecond laser a distributed nonlinear photoluminescence (N-PL) develops throughout the entire structure. A complete spaced-resolved analysis of the spectral signature of the nanowire nonlinear response is carried out to understand the origin of the distributed nonlinear response. We discuss various mechanisms to explain the experimental data and unambiguously demonstrate that the spatial and spectral extension of the N-PL in the nanowire are mainly dictated by the propagation of a surface plasmon excited at the pump wavelength. We also present experimental signature of near-field excitation of a broadband continuum of surface plasmo…
