Photo- and thermally stimulated luminescence characteristics of Gd3(Ga,Al)5O12:Ce single crystals co-doped with W Mo are investigated in the 85–510 K temperature range compared corresponding undoped Ce3+ - doped Gd3(Ga,Al)5O12 similar composition. A strong effect impurity ions appears photoluminescence spectra dependences intensity, afterglow intensity decay kinetics, (TSL) TSL glow curves, exc...

Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) ceramics doped with Ce3+ was prepared by dry compaction using the common uniaxial pressing under powerful ultrasound assistance (PUA). The structure and luminescent properties of sintered were investigated. It demonstrated that ultrasonic assistant during has a positive effect on structural characteristics YAG: ceramics. material consolidation is very intensive acc...

Present work reports the synthesis of RE3+ (La3+, and Ce3+) Co2+ co-doped Zn0.75Cu0.25Fe2O4 samples powder using sol-gel auto combustion process. Rietveld refinement established spinel matrix with space group (F d -3 m) suggests that uniform distribution cations at tetrahedral octahedral lattice sites. The comparative study crystallite size (D) was found Scherrer's relation, plot, Williamson-Ha...

Electron transfer processes between lanthanide activators are crucial for the functional behavior and performance of luminescent materials. Here, a multiconfigurational ab initio study reveals how direct metal-to-metal charge (MMCT) Eu2+ luminescence activator Ln3+ co-dopant (Ln3+ = Ce3+, Pr3+, Nd3+, Pm3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, Tb3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, Er3+, Tm3+, Yb3+) systematically dictates optical pro...

We introduce various exchange interactions in a model Hamiltonian for Ce3+ ions in cubic symmetry with three configurations (f0,f1,f2). With the impurity pseudo spin SI = 1/2, our Hamiltonian includes: (i) One-channel Sc = 1/2 Anderson model; (ii) Two-channel Sc = 1/2 Anderson model; (iii) An unforseen one-channel Sc = 3/2 Anderson model with a non-trivial fixed point; (iv) Mixing exchange inte...

SrF2:Eu,Ce3+ nanophosphors were successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method during down-shifting investigations for solar cell applications. The phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning Auger nanoprobe, time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. XRD showed that the cr...
