Luminescence of silica glass containing aluminum oxide
2004
Abstract Optical properties of silica glass with different doping of Al 2 O 3 up to 1.5 mol% were studied. Alumina stimulates creation of a luminescence centers with specific band at 3.3 eV. A new band at 8.2 eV appears in luminescence excitation spectra. There is transport of energy to other luminescence centers associated with an impurity (Ag, Ce) at this energy. Alumina stimulates creation of E′ centers under γ-irradiation beside trapped hole on AlO 4 tetrahedron as well as creation of a silicon related oxygen deficient center (SiODC) under cathodoexcitation. Visually, the samples look inhomogeneous even after γ-irradiation. The explanation could be heterogeneity of the samples. Alumina …
Thermostimulated processes in statically and dynamically disordered luminescent solids
1993
Abstract Trap spectra depending on the concentration of defects in crystalline KBr-T1, LiF-Mg, Ti, A1 2 O 3 and glassy Na 2 O·SiO 2 are investigated. The nature of inhomogeneous broadening and continuous distribution of traps over activation energies at sufficiently high defect concentrations is considered. Impurity hopping controlled recombination of electronic excitations is observed. The presence of enlarged values of process activation energies and frequency factors is discussed in terms of the concept of dynamic disorder, taking into account the fluctuational changes in both the perfectpart and the structure of defects in the solid at high temperatures.
The F-type centres in YAG crystals
2001
The comparative study of optical properties of thermochemically reduced undoped YAG (Y3Al5O12) crystals is reported. A particular type of the centres often observed in YAG crystals synthesized as w...
Optically detected magnetic resonance studied via the blue luminescence of Ti-doped
1998
The UV-excited blue and green luminescence bands of Ti:sapphire are characterized by ODMR. These emission bands are attributed to two centres, which show very similar properties and are created as a result of a charge-transfer transition of an electron from to ions. In both centres, the d electron of and the hole of are strongly coupled and form triplet states. Doublet systems can be ruled out as sources of the blue-green luminescence. The angular dependence of the ODMR can be explained with an appropriate spin Hamiltonian assuming orthorhombic local symmetry. The orientation of the principal axes of the g-tensor and the crystal-field tensor, found for both centres, suggest that the hole is…
Blue luminescent amino-functionalized graphene quantum dots as a responsive material for potential detection of metal ions and malathion
2022
Large amounts of hazardous and toxic substances in the environment require non-toxic, cheap, easy, rapid, and sensitive methods for their detection. Blue luminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were produced by electrochemical cleavage of graphite electrodes followed by gamma irradiation in the presence of ethylenediamine (EDA). Modified dots were able to detect metal ions (Co2+, Pd2+, Fe3+) due to photoluminescence quenching. The highest sensitivity was detected for the sample irradiated at a dose of 25 kGy. The limits of detection (LODs) were 1.79, 2.55, and 0.66 μmol L−1 for Co2+, Fe3+, and Pd2+, respectively. It was observed that GQDs irradiated at 200 kGy act as an ultra-sensitive tur…
Photonic-crystal silicon-nanocluster light-emitting device
2006
We report on enhanced light extraction from a light-emitting device based on amorphous silicon nanoclusters, suitable for very-large-scale integration, and operating at room temperature. Standard low-cost optical lithography is employed to fabricate a two-dimensional photonic crystal onto the device. We measured a vertical emission with the extracted radiation enhanced by over a factor of 4, without the aid of any buried reflector. These achievements demonstrate that a cost-effective exploitation of photonic crystals is indeed within the reach of semiconductor industry and open the way to a new generation of nanostructured silicon devices in which photonic and electronic functions are integ…
Electroluminescence and transport properties in amorphous silicon nanostructures
2006
We report the results of a detailed study on the structural, electrical and optical properties of light emitting devices based on amorphous Si nanostructures. Amorphous nanostructures may constitute an interesting system for the monolithic integration of optical and electrical functions in Si ULSI technology. In fact, they exhibit an intense room temperature electroluminescence (EL), with the advantage of being formed at a temperature of 900 °C, while at least 1100 °C is needed for the formation of Si nanocrystals. Optical and electrical properties of amorphous Si nanocluster devices have been studied in the temperature range between 30 and 300 K. The EL is seen to have a bell-shaped trend …
Short-range order and luminescence in amorphous silicon oxynitride
2000
Abstract Using Si 2p core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we found that the short-range order in amorphous silicon oxynitride (a-SiOxNy) can be quantitatively described by a random bonding model. Results also show that the second and even further neighbours of the Si in the network affect the chemical shifts of the X-ray photoelectron spectra. Cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence of a-SiOxNy with different compositions are also measured. A red band with energies of 1.8–1.9 eV, a blue band with an energy of 2.7 eV and ultraviolet bands with energies of 13.1, 3.4–3.6, 4.4–4.7 and 5.4eV were observed. The 1.8–1.9 eV band is attributed to the O and N atoms with an unpaired electron…
Solution processable piperazine and triphenyl moiety containing non-symmetric bis-styryl-DWK type molecular glasses with light-emitting and amplified…
2018
A series of 2,6-bis-styryl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene fragment containing glassy organic compounds with chemically stable bonding of amorphous phase promoting bulky triphenyl moieties through piperazine structural fragment (DWK-T dyes) in a form of 2-(5,5,5-triphenylpentyl)piperazin-1-yl)styryl)-substituent have been synthesized and investigated as the potential gain medium component for organic solid state laser applications. Physical properties of the dyes vary and are mostly depending from the other styryl-substituent attached to the 4H-pyran-4-ylidene backbone fragment in 6-position. Thermal stability of synthesized dyes is above 312°C with the glass transitions from 97°C to 109°C. Obtained nea…
Glass-forming derivatives of 2-cyano-2-(4H-pyran-4-ylidene) acetate for light-amplification systems
2019
Abstract A series of 2-cyano-2-(4H-pyran-4-ylidene) acetate derivatives with triphenyl and 9H-carbazole moieties were synthesized and investigated, mostly for potential applications in organic solid state lasers. Synthesized compounds show remarkable amorphous film formation ability, tunable thermal properties (thermal stability varies from 190 °C to 387 °C and glass transition temperature from 94 °C up to 141 °C) with light absorption from 400 nm to 600 nm and photoluminescence from 600 nm up to 800 nm. Dyes with incorporated mono-styryl- electron donating fragment (KTB, KTBC and KTB3K) showed higher photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) (from 16% up to 23%), significantly lower amplified…
