X-ray, electron transmission spectroscopy, vibrational and luminescence studies of LiIn(WO4)2:Cr3+ nanoparticles prepared by Pechini method are reported. On annealing the sample several structural changes were observed resulting in a creation of three new, previously unknown polymorphs. It was shown that this tungstate undergoes two size-induced phase transitions from the structure similar to LiFe(WO4)2 into the structure similar to LiYb(WO4)2 and then into the structure of LiGa(WO4)2 type. These transitions occur for the critical particle size of about 100 and 30 nm, and they could be attributed mainly to some changes in the distribution of the sites occupied by Li+ and In3+ ions. Luminescence studies revealed decrease of the covalent character of chromium environment and electron–phonon coupling strength with decreasing size of the nanoparticles.

X-ray line broadening is caused by variations in lattice strain and small particle size. When hydrogen is introduced into the steel by the electrolytica! method, structural changes are observed. X-ray line broadening is a suitable measurement in such cases. The Warren and Averbach Fourier analysis is a good method for line broadening studies. In this method, strain and particle size effects can be separated because broadening due to particle size is independent of order of the diffraction peaks, while broadening due to strain is not.

The optical absorption behaviour of polar semiconductor quantum dots has been investigated in the strong confinement regime using the adiabatic approximation of Landau and Pekar. It has been shown that optical absorption coefficient becomes strongly size dependent below a certain value of the confinement length and also exhibits interesting crossing behaviour when studied as a function of the electron–phonon coupling constant for different values of the confinement length. It has furthermore been shown that the ratio of the one-phonon part of the oscillator strength to the zero-phonon contribution can be significantly large in a small quantum dot and can also exhibit an interesting minimum structure at certain value of the confinement length for intermediate electron–phonon coupling.

AbstractExtended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique has been employed to investigate the local structures around luminescent centers in nanocrystals of Mn-doped ZnS and Tb-doped Y2O3. Size-dependent local structural changes around Mn luminescent centers have been found in Mn-doped nanocrystals of ZnS by using Mn K-edge EXAFS. Local structures around Tb investigated by Tb Li-edge EXAFS also show substantial differences between bulk and nanocrystal samples. This structural information is useful for understanding the novel optical properties of doped nanocrystals.
