AbstractIsothermal annealing of amorphous TiO2 films deposited from acidic sol-gel precursor solutions results in film densification and concomitant increase in refractive index. Subsequent heating above 300°C leads to irreversible transformation to an anatase crystalline phase. Similar phenomena occur when such amorphous films are subjected to focused cw laser irradiation. Controlled variations in laser fluence are used to density or crystallize selected regions of the film. Low fluence conditioning leads to the evolution of a subtle nanograin-size morphology, evident in AFM images, which appears to retard subsequent film crystallization when such regions are subjected to higher laser fluence. Time-resolved Raman spectroscopy has been used to characterize irradiated regions in order to follow the crystallization kinetics, assess phase homogeneity, and evaluate accompanying changes in residual film stress.

AbstractStructural and dynamical properties of an aqueous gelatin solution (5 wt%, 0.1M NaCi, pH=7) in a sol-gel transition were studied by time-resolved small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) after quenching the gelatin sol at ∼45”C to 11°C. SAXS intensity measurements suggested the presence of gel fibrils which grew initially in cross-section. The average cross-section of the gel fibrils reached a constant value after an initial growth period of ∼800 sec. Further increase in SAXS intensity could be attributed to the increase in the length of the gel fibrils. Photon correlation, on the other hand, clearly showed two relaxation modes in both the sol and the gel (∼1 hr after the quenching process) states: a fast cooperative diffusion mode which remained constant from the sol to the gel state after correction for the temperature dependence of solvent viscosity; and a slow mode that could be attributed to the self-diffusion of the “free” gelatin chains and aggregates. The slow mode contribution to the time correlation function was reduced from ∼40% in sol to ∼20% in gel signaling a decrease but not the elimination of “free” particles in the gel network. The decrease in the intensity contribution by the slow mode is, however, accompanied by a large increase in the characteristic line-width distribution.

Nanocrystalline GdPO4 : Eu3+ phosphor layers were coated on non-aggregated, monodisperse and spherical SiO2 particles by Pechini sol–gel method, resulting in the formation of core–shell structured SiO2 @ GdPO4 : Eu3+ particles. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL), low-voltage cathodoluminescence (CL), time-resolved PL spectra and lifetimes were used to characterize the core–shell structured materials. Both XRD and FT-IR results indicate that GdPO4 layers have been successfully coated on the SiO2 particles, which can be further verified by the images of FESEM and TEM. Under UV light excitation, the SiO2 @ GdPO4 : Eu3+ phosphors show orange-red luminescence with Eu3+ 5D0–7F1 (593 nm) as the most prominent group. The PL excitation and emission spectra suggest that an energy transfer occurs from Gd3+ to Eu3+ in SiO2 @ GdPO4 : Eu3+ phosphors. The obtained core–shell phosphors have potential applications in FED and PDP devices.

Rhodamine 6G- (R6G) doped thin sol-gel films were cast on glass microscope slides and characterized with the use of steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity, photodegradation under laser illumination, and excited-state decay kinetics were all investigated as a function of dopant concentration. The excited-state decay kinetics of highly doped films show clear evidence of R6G aggregation. Photodegradation under laser illumination is very interesting and is discussed in detail.
