Revised crystal structure and luminescent properties of gadolinium oxyfluoride Gd₄O₃F₆ doped with Eu³⁺ ions.

چکیده
The structure of gadolinium oxyfluoride nanoparticles was revised. Extensive studies including X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the monoclinic P12/c1 crystal structure of Gd4O3F6. Morphological analysis using transmission electron microscopy showed the nanocrystallinity of the materials prepared via the sol-gel Pechini's method. The luminescent properties of the prepared materials with different concentrations of Eu(3+) ions were characterized by emission spectroscopy. The phosphors obtained were investigated in the vacuum ultraviolet range using synchrotron radiation. The Judd-Ofelt parameters (Ω2, Ω4) and emission efficiencies η were calculated and are discussed in detail.

In the present study, the oxyfluoride glasses of SiO2-Al2O3-CaF2 system containing different amounts of Y3+ ions were prepared through the convenient melting method. The crystallization temperatures and size of the CaF2 nanocrystals were obtained from DTA curves and XRD patterns, respectively. As a consequence, the optimum amount...

Many types of fluorescent nanoparticles have been investigated as alternatives to conventional organic dyes in biochemistry; magnetic beads also have a long history of biological applications. In this work we apply flame spray pyrolysis in order to engineer a novel type of nanoparticle that has both luminescent and magnetic properties. The particles have magnetic cores of iron oxide doped with ...

This paper describes a simple and environmentally-friendly approach that allowed for the facile synthesis of a gadolinium-based core/shell/shell nanotube structure with a set of lanthanide ions incorporated into separated layers. In addition, by the rational design of a core/shell structure we systematically investigated the luminescence properties of different lanthanide ions in NaGdF4 host, a...
متن کاملLuminescence Properties of Oxyfluoride Glass and Glass Ceramic Doped with Y3 + Ions
Oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing CaF2nano-crystals doped with Y3+ ions were prepared by one-step crystallization of SiO2- Al2O3- CaO- CaF2 glasses at different temperatures. X- ray diffraction (XRD) results have revealed that CaF2 was the only precipitated crystalline phase in glass ceramic samples. According to the XRD results, a glass ceramic was selected as the best sample in order to ...
متن کاملHydrothermal Synthesis, Microstructure and Photoluminescence of Eu3+-Doped Mixed Rare Earth Nano-Orthophosphates
Eu(3+)-doped mixed rare earth orthophosphates (rare earth = La, Y, Gd) have been prepared by hydrothermal technology, whose crystal phase and microstructure both vary with the molar ratio of the mixed rare earth ions. For La(x)Y(1-x)PO(4): Eu(3+), the ion radius distinction between the La(3+) and Y(3+) is so large that only La(0.9)Y(0.1)PO(4): Eu(3+) shows the pure monoclinic phase. For La(x)Gd...
