In this paper, composite fibers of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and Y2O3:Eu3+ nanocrytals were prepared by electrospinning and characterized by electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The composite fibers are in random orientation and with average diameter of similar to 300 nm and length up to several ten micrometers. The luminescent properties were investigated and compared with the pure Y2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystals. Due to certain weak interactions between nanocrystals and PVP matrix, charge transfer band in the excitation spectra show slightly red shift for the fibers relative to in the case of pure Y2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystals. The PVP polymer may modified the surface defect states of nanocrystals, yielding decreased intensity ratio of D-5(0)-F-7(2) to D-5(0)-F-7(1) transition in the emission spectra. The fluorescence lifetimes of D-5(0) level for Eu3+ in the composite fibers and Y2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystals were respectively determined to be 1.40 and 1.74 ms. The decreased fluorescence lifetime in the composite fibers was attributed to increased radiative transition rate, as result of the influence of refractive index of the surrounding PVP media instead of air.
Two kinds of Eu3+ complexes-Eu(TTA)3(TPPO) 2 (TTA: thenoyltrifluoroacetone, TPPO: triphenylphosphineoxide) and Eu(BA)3(TPPO)2 (BA: 1-benzoylacetone) - were fully encapsulated, uniformly distributed into the channels o...

Dopant-free Bi2Ti2O7 thin films with pyrochlore structure and La-doped bismuth titanate thin films have been fabricated by means of chemical solution decomposition, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and UV-Vis spectrophotometry in this study. Their photocatalytic activities have been evaluated by photodegrading methyl orange solution, and the optimum processing parameters for the highest photocatalytic activity have been found. Moreover, the effects of La-doping on the phase transformation and the photocalalytic activity have been studied. It has been deduced from the experiment result that substituted La3+ ions can act as a stabilizer of Aurivillus phase BLT and a grain-growth inhibitor in BLT thin films. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, NaYF4 nanocrystals and NH4Y3F10 sub-microcrystals were prepared using a polyol method. After being annealed, NH4Y3F10 can convert into YF3, which is a very efficient host matrix for upconversion. The structures of obtained NaYF4, NH4Y3F10 and YF3 samples are pure cubic phase, a mixture of cubic and hexagonal phase and pure orthorhombic phase, respectively. The size of obtained NaYF4 nanocrystals is about 20 nm, and those of NH4Y3F10 and YF3 sub-microcrystals are both about 200 nm. When co-doped with Er3+ and Yb3+, NaYF4 and YF3 samples can emit bright light under 978 nm excitation. Upconversion mechanisms in Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped NaYF4 and YF3 samples were discussed.

To modify the photoluminescence properties the Eu(DBM)(3)bath complexes were encapsulated into the sub-nanometer pores of aluminosilicates zeolites L and Y and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron micrographs (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra. The luminescent properties of the encapsulated composites (Eu-L and Eu-Y) were systematically studied. The results indicate that in both the two composites the crystal-field symmetry becomes lower, as a consequence, the D-5(0)-F-7(2) electronic-dipole transition relative to the ID.-IF, magnetic-dipole transition of Eu3+ increases in contrast to the pure complexes. The outer quantum efficiency of the Eu3+ emission and the photostability of Eu3+ are both improved considerably. The adsorption of water in the composites has influence on the thermostability and decay dynamics of the Eu3+ emission. In the composite Eu-L, which contains less water the thermostability of luminescence is improved considerably and the lifetime becomes longer in comparison to the pure complexes. Overall, zeolite L is a more ideal host material for modification of lanthanide complexes.

Sub-micrometer-sized fibers of europium-doped yttria (Y2O3:Eu3+) were prepared by electrospinning followed by high-temperature calcinations for the first time. The fibers were with diameters of 200-400 nm and lengths of several 10 mu m and cubic in phase. The spectral properties of the Y2O3:Eu3+ fibers were studied, in contrast with those of bulk powders. The results indicated that in the present Y2O3:Eu3+ fibers the excited charge transfer band had slightly blue shift in comparison with that in the bulk due to weaker covalence of Eu-O bonds. In addition, both of the lifetimes of the D-5(1) and D-5(0) states in the fibers became shorter than that in the bulk due to improved nonradiative transition rates. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

In this work, the luminescence properties of samarium ions-doped titanium dioxide prepared by the sol-gel process were studied. A strong orange red emission ((4)G(5/2)-(6) H-7/2 (orange) and (4)G(5/2)-H-6(9/2) (red)) ascribed to the electron transitions in 4f(5) configuration of Sm3+ ions was observed upon excitation into TiO2 host. The energy transfer from TiO2 to Sm3+ was verified and the relevant mechanism was discussed. In addition, the impacts of metal ion codopants upon the TiO2:Sm3+ luminescence properties were studied. The results indicated that the central excitation band shifted to blue in the bismuth-codoped materials (0.5-4% in molar ratio), while it shifted to red in the zirconium-cocloped materials. Such materials may find applications in white light-emission diode (LED) and tunable solid lasers. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

One dimensional Gd2O3:Eu nanowires with diameters of similar to 100nm were fabricated by anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template method. Excitation and emission spectra, fluorescence dynamics of Gd2O3:Eu/AAO were studied. The results showed that the charge transfer band of Eu3+ in Gd2O3:Eu/AAO blue shifted with increasing annealing temperature and time. The decay time constant of 5 DO-T, transition became longer with the increasing annealing temperature in Gd2O3:Eu/AAO. The D-5(0)-F-7(1) transition of Eu3+ ions in cubic phase had longer lifetime than that in amorphous phase. In contrast to the lifetime of D-5(0) -> F-7(J) in the bulk powder, that in Gd2O3:Eu/AAO composite films increased. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
