In this study, nanoflakes of B12S were fabricated by plasma-assisted reaction of sulfur dichloride in an ionic liquid at room temperature using europium boride as a hard template. The nanoflakes had an average width and thickness of about 3 1urn and 9.6 nm, respectively, and a large specific surface area of 1197.2 m2 g 1. They behaved like typical electric double-layer capacitors with a capacitance of 201.2 F g 1 at 0.2 mA cm 2 During capacitive deionization to recover rare-earth ions, the nanoflakes had higher adsorption selectivity for Sm3+ than for other competing ions present in real mine waste water. This is due to the strong interaction of the electron-concentered S-groups (S’’’) of the nanoflakes with S m3+. This provides an alternative to construct efficient systems to specifically remove Sm3+ from aqueous solution using B12S nanoflakes. This process demonstrates that other boron sulfide compounds can be used to recover valuable ions by capacitive deionization.

The room temperature luminescence spectra of the monoterpyridyl chelates of trivalent samarium, dysprosium and thulium have been studied in solid state by exciting with monochromatic radiation of 3200 Å. The spectra of these chelates show intra f → f fluorescent transitions of the chelated rare earth ions as well as the molecular band fluorescence. The “bottleneck” nature of the energy transfer from the nitrogen containing heterocyclic ligands to the coordinated rare earth ions is proposed. The fluorescence data of mono-terpyridyl chelates have been compared with those of bis-dipyridyl one.The phosphorescence spectrum of terpyridyl has also been investigated. The lowest triplet state of the free ligand is found at 22 940 cm-1 above the ground level. The phosphorescence lifetime of terpyridyl is about 2 sec

ABSTRACTTrivalent rare earth ions in crystalline or fiber hosts are among the most successful of laser materials, but new dopant-host combinations and more detailed understanding of existing materials continue to be needed. This paper presents a few examples from the work of our team at the Army Research Laboratory, highlighting the interrelation between spectroscopic properties and laser behavior. It focuses on bulk solids, though rare-earth-doped fiber lasers are also extremely important. One system discussed is Nd:YAG, particularly concentration quenching in heavily doped ceramic YAG. Spectroscopic properties of Yb:Y2O3 and Yb:Sc2O3 help to elucidate their laser performance. Spectra indicate that Er:YAG is more promising than Er:Sc2O3 for room temperature laser operation, but that the reverse is true for operation at and somewhat above liquid nitrogen temperature.

AbstractThe  results  of  investigating  the  thermoelectric  properties of the bulk р -type oxyselenides Bi_1 –_ x Pr_ x CuSeO ( x = 0, 0.04, 0.08) and Bi_0.96La_0.04CuSeO obtained by the solid-state reaction technique are presented. The temperature dependences of the thermopower, electrical resistivity, and thermal conductivity are measured at temperatures from room temperature to 800 K. Over the whole temperature range, a decrease in the electrical resistivity and thermopower is observed with increasing substitution level, while the thermal conductivity is almost unaffected by the substitution of rare-earth elements for bismuth. Despite the nominal valence of Bi, La, and Pr being the same, the replacement of bismuth by rare-earth ions leads to an increase in the charge-carrier concentration, which may be caused by a difference in the electronic configurations of ions, resulting in a shift of the Fermi level to the valence band.

AbstractEfficient infra-red and visible electroluminescence(EL) has been obtained from implanted rare earth ions in the SiO2 of a silicon-metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) diode structure at room temperature. The rare earth ions are excited by the direct impact of hot electrons tunneling through the oxide at electric fields larger than 6 MV/cm. The internal quantum efficiencies of Er and Tb implanted MOS diodes are estimated to be 10 % and 3 %, respectively. The hgh quantum efficiency is due to the high impact excitation cross-section of more than 10− 15cm2. These observations on MOS structures are an experimental proof for efficient light generation by hot electron impact.
