To ascertain whether fluorescence quenching is best studied with the use of excitation or emission spectra, and to expand our existing PAH spectral data file, we have recorded excitation spectra of benzo[b]perylene, dibenzo[hi,wx]heptacene, tetrabenzo[de,hi,mn,qr]naphthacene, perylene, benzo[a]fluoranthene, benzo[def]indeno[1,2,3hi]chrysene, naphtho[2,1a]fluoranthene, naphtho[2,3b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, 2-azapyrene, naphtho[8,1,2hij]pyreno[9,10,1def]phthalazine, indeno[1,-2,3ij]isoquinoline, benzo(lmn][3,8]phenanthroline, and 7-methyldibenzo(b,def]chrysene at various nitromethane concentrations. Results of these measurements verify our earlier observations concerning the nitromethane selective quenching rule and further illustrate the importance of considering inner-filtering artifacts in quenching studies.

Y2O3:Eu3+ thin film was synthesized by sol-gel method with inorganic salt raw materials, and the crystal structure and luminescent properties were investigated. By adding organic additive to the sol, a homogeneous film with high luminescent intensity could be obtained by dip-coating technique on the surface of alumina sheet and quartz glass. Structures of the films were studied by XRD and SEM. The excitation spectra of the films showed a wide excitation peak from 200nm to 260nm, and the emission spectra had a strongest emission peak at 611nm which revealed a close relationship with the calcining temperature.

Synthesis of carbon dots (CDs) from natural resources not only enables green synthesis and production of environmentally friendly materials, but also provides a cost-effective probe as a fluorescence nanosensor. The proposed sensor introduces a unique one-pot hydrothermal CDs synthesis from alfalfa leaves, which is promising for sensing hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) via inner filter effect (IFE) and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS). The as-prepared CDs had wide emission spectra, excitation-dependent emission, high solubility, high stability, and visible fluorescence light with a quantum yield of up to 11%. The absorption of HCTZ overlapped with the excitation spectra of CDs. Therefore, CDs represented excellent quenching due to IFE when HCTZ was gradually added. Furthermore, this fluorescent sensor was successfully used to quantify HCTZ in the linear ranges (0.17-2.50 μg mL-1) with the limit of detection of 0.11 μg mL-1. The sensing system was simple as no surface functionalization was required for CDs, leading to less laborious steps and more cost-effective synthesis. The reaction time was short, i.e., less than 2 min, indicating a simple approach for rapid analysis of HCTZ. By optimizing conditions, successful measurements were carried out on pharmaceutical tablets.

The series of luminescent materials of Eu3 +, Tb3 + doped Li2SrSiO4 were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state method. The phase purity of the samples was measured by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The luminescent properties of the samples were studied by UV-visible excitation spectra and emission spectra The It is found that the strong absorption of Eu3 + doped Li2-xSr1-xEuxSiO4 is from the 250 ~ 290 nm charge transfer band of Eu3 + and the 7F0 → 5L6 absorption transition of 393 nm. The strongest emission of the emission spectra at 393 nm is 614 nm and 701 nm, respectively, from the 5D0 → 7F2 and 5D0 → 7F4 transitions of Eu3 +. Tb3 + doped sample Li2-xSr1-xTb xSiO4 excitation spectrum is mainly composed of Tb3 + ion fd transition and charge transfer band composed of broadband, the strongest absorption at 269 nm, the emission of the main emission of 5D4 → 7F5 transition (542 nm).

Abstract Emission spectra of Pb2+ centres in barium chloride single crystals have been studied between 4 and 300 K by excitation with different wave lengths. Excitation spectra at 300 K have also been obtained by measuring the emission in the maxima of the shoitwave and longwave bands. The results allow to conclude that the high energy emission band is due to the transition | 3T1u > → | 1A1g > in the activator ion. The more effective excitation of the low energy emission band observed in the shortwave region of the absorption spectrum and the complex nature of both bands are discussed.

The emission spectra (at T = 10 K and 296 K) and the excitation spectra (at T = 295 K) of zeolite-based luminophores of the types Zn2SiO4:Mn and (CdO)2B2O3:Mn show the characteristics of Mn2+ in tetrahedral and octahedral surroundings, respectively, as well as additional features due to impurities and/or structural defects of the host crystal. The ZnSiO4⁻type phosphor exhibits photostimulated emission, which can be assigned to trap states of the silicate host.

Four diads consisting of a free-base or zinc aryl-porphyrin associated with two ruthenium(II) bis(terdentate) complexes (non-cyclometallated Ru ( N 6) or cylometallated Ru ( N 5 C )) have been synthesized. The strong electron-withdrawing properties of the Ru ( N 6) as compared to the Ru ( N 5 C ) complex have been illustrated by their electrochemical and spectroscopic properties. Emission spectra of the diads and the reference compounds have shown that very efficient fluorescence quenching occurs, probably by energy transfer processes from the porphyrin to the 3MLCT excited state of the ruthenium unit.

A novel phosphor, K2MgSiO4:Eu[Formula: see text], was synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. The phase formation was checked by X-ray powder diffraction. The photoluminescence excitation, emission spectra, decay curve and CIE coordinates of samples with different Eu[Formula: see text] ion concentrations were investigated in detail. The excitation spectra show a broad wavelength range of 225–470 nm. The K2MgSiO4:Eu[Formula: see text] phosphors exhibit highly red emission peaking at about 616 nm which is assigned to the 5D[Formula: see text]F2 transition of Eu[Formula: see text]ions under the excitation of near-ultraviolet (NUV) (394 nm) light. The critical quenching concentration of Eu[Formula: see text] doped in the K2MgSiO4: Eu[Formula: see text] phosphors was about 10 mol.% and the concentration quenching mechanism was dipole–dipole interactions between Eu[Formula: see text] ions. The results indicate that K2MgSiO4:Eu[Formula: see text] is a potential red phosphor candidate for NUV-pumped white light emitting diodes.

Abstract To be useful in the clinical laboratory, multicomponent fluorescence analysis requires both the rapid measurement of the fluorescence intensity at a variety of excitation and emission wavelengths and the unambiguous reduction of the data by efficient algorithms. The Video Fluorometer, which exploits the multi-channel capability of a low-light-level television sensor to simultaneously acquire excitation and emission spectra, can meet the first requirement. For example, a complete set of emission and excitation spectra for perylene can be obtained in less than 2 s at concentrations of 10(-10) mol/liter. To meet the second need, we present two types of data-reduction strategies: (a)a least-squares fit to the data, with use of the spectra of previously determined compounds likely to be present; and (b)a determination of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors fo the fluorescence matrix, from which the number of components and the possible spectra of each can be estimated. Computer simulations of the least-squares fitting algorithms show that five strongly overlapping components can be determined in the presence of noise with an accuracy of better than 5%. Also, a fluorescent sample containing two species with very similar but unknown spectral properties can be resolved to obtain the spectrum of each.

CaWO4: xNd3+ (x = 0.005, 0.008, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, 0.025 0.03) powders have been synthesized by high-temperature solid state reaction. The results of the XRD indicate that Nd3+ ions have entered into the crystal lattice in all compounds successfully. The reflectance spectra show that the matrix has strong absorption. The emission spectra, excitation spectra and different lifetimes between CaWO4 and CaWO4: 0.5% Nd3+ indicate that efficient energy transfer occurs from WO42- cluster to Nd3+ ions. On the basis of the above work, the dependence of fluorescent spectra on temperature was studied. It turned out that, not only the excitation spectra appeared red shift with increasing temperature, but also the dependence of the near infrared fluorescent intensity on temperature is fitting with a linear function. It might be served as a promising phosphor for temperature sensor device.
