Abstract A series of Bi3+ single-doped and Bi3+/Er3+ co-doped YNbO4 phosphors with various concentrations of Bi3+ ions were prepared by a conventional high temperature solid-state reaction method. The results of XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed that monoclinic phase YNbO4 samples were achieved. The down-/up-conversion luminescence of Er3+ ions were investigated under the excitation of ultraviolet light (327 nm) and near infrared light (980 nm). Under 327 nm excitation, broad visible emission band from Bi3+ ions and characteristic green emission peaks from Er3+ ions were simultaneously observed, while only strong green emissions from Er3+ ions were detected upon excitation of 980 nm. Remarkable emission enhancement was observed in down-/up-conversion luminescence processes by introducing Bi3+ ions into Er3+-doped YNbO4 phosphors. By analyzing the laser working current dependent up-conversion luminescence spectra, two-photon processes were confirmed to be responsible for both the green and the red up-conversion emissions of Er3+ ion. The temperature sensing property of Er3+ was studied by using the temperature dependent up-conversion luminescence spectra and it was found that the temperature sensitivity was sensitive to the doping concentration of Bi3+ ions. By comparing the experimental values of the radiative transition rate ratio of the two green emission levels of Er3+ ions and the theoretical values calculated by Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory, it was concluded that energy level splitting had significant influences on the temperature sensing property of Er3+ ions.

Metastable Defect

AbstractA new optical transition with a no-phonon energy of 0.615 eV discovered in electron-irradiated silicon grown by the Czochralski technique is investigated, revealing metastable properties of the related defect. The investigation is focused on the optical properties of the transition and its associated structure and on the mechanism governing the change of defect configuration. The transformation of the defect to the metastable state is suggested to be induced by excitonic Auger recombination. A pseudo-donor model is presented as an explanation of the optical spectrum.

Near Ir

Metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) is applied for fabrication of silicon nanowires (SiNWs). We have shown the effect of amorphous sheath of SiNWs by treating the nanowires with SF6 and the resulting reduction of absorption bandwidth, i.e. making SiNWs semi-transparent in near-infrared (IR). For the first time, by treating the fabricated SiNWs with copper containing HF∕H2O2∕H2O solution, we have generated crystalline nanowires with broader light absorption spectrum, up to λ = 1 μm. Both the absorption and photo-luminescence (PL) of the SiNWs are observed from visible to IR wavelengths. It is found that the SiNWs have PL at visible and near Infrared wavelengths, which may infer presence of mechanisms such as forbidden gap transitions other can involvement of plasmonic resonances. Non-radiative recombination of excitons is one of the reasons behind absorption of SiNWs. Also, on the dielectric metal interface, the absorption mechanism can be due to plasmonic dissipation or plasmon-assisted generation of excitons in the indirect band-gap material. Comparison between nanowires with and without metallic nanoparticles has revealed the effect of nanoparticles on absorption enhancement. The broader near IR absorption, paves the way for applications like hyperthermia of cancer while the optical transition in near IR also facilitates harvesting electromagnetic energy at a broad spectrum from visible to IR.

Constituent Elements

 Selenium-based chalcogenides are useful in telecommunication devices like infrared optics and threshold switching devices. The investigated system of Ge5Se95-xZnx (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 4 at.%) has been prepared from high purity constituent elements. Thin films from the bulk material were deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation. Optical absorbance measurements have been performed on the as-deposited thin films using transmission spectra. The allowed optical transition was found to be indirect and the corresponding band gap energy determined. The variation of optical band gap energy with the average coordination number has also been investigated based on the chemical bonding between the constituents and the rigidity behaviour of the system’s network.
