AbstractThe photoluminescence properties of thiophene-based polymers obtained by the random copolymerization of 3,4-dibutylthiophene and 3-butylthiophene are reported. Optical absorption spectra, cw photolumninescence (PL) spectra, PL quantum efficiencies and PL decays have been measured in dilute solutions. By varying the copolymer chemical composition it is possible to tune the intensity and the color of the luminescence spectra in the whole visible range. We evidence the role of disorder, controlled by interring rotations, as the tuning factor for the disexcitation pathway of the photoexcitations in these materials.

In this work, properties of Nd3+ in Gd2O3-CaO-SiO2-B2O3 glass systems with composition 25Gd2O3-10CaO-10SiO2-(55-x)B2O3-xNd2O3 where x = 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol% were investigated. The optical absorption spectra show peaks at 4F3/2 (877 nm) , 4F5/2+2H9/2 (802 nm), 4F7/2+4S3/2 (743 nm), 4F9/2 (682 nm), 2H11/2 (627 nm), 2G7/2 +4G5/2 (582 nm), 4G7/2 +2K13/2 (527 nm), 4G11/2 (481 nm), 2P1/2 (427 nm) and 2L15/2 + 4D1/2 + 1I11/2+ 4D5/2+ 4D3/2 (355 nm) reflecting the Nd3+ ions in glass matrices. The densities were increased with increasing of Nd2O3 concentration. This indicates the increase of the molecular weight by the replacement of B2O3 with a heavier Nd2O3 oxide in the glass. The upconversion luminescence spectra show bands at 393 nm for all Nd2O3 concentration and the strongest intensity from 2.5 % mol of Nd2O3 was obtained. For NIR luminescence, the intensity of Nd3+ emission spectra increases with increasing concentrations of Nd3+ up to 1.5 mol% and beyond 1.5 mol% the concentration quenching is observed.

The electronic transitions in a classical banana-shaped liquid crystal 1,3-phenylene-bis [4-(4-octylphenylimino) methyl] benzoate have been investigated by measuring its optical absorption spectra in dilute solutions of ethyl alcohol and by calculating its electronic structures with extended Hückel tight binding program. The banana-shaped compound shows strong absorptions at 240, 280, 350 nm, respectively. On the basis of the calculated electronic structures, the three strong absorptions can be assigned to the *, n*, and nn* electronic transitions in this banana-shaped compound.

AbstractThis paper gives an overview about recent theoretical and experimental work on electronic and optical properties of spinel ferrites MFe2O4. These compounds have come into focus of research due to their possible application as photocatalyst material for photoelectrochemical water splitting. The theoretical background of state-of-the-art quantum-chemical approaches applied for predicting electronic and optical band gaps, absolute band positions, optical absorption spectra, dielectric functions and Raman spectra, is briefly reviewed. Recent applications of first-principles methods on magnetic and electronic properties of ferrites with M = Mg and the first row of subgroup elements Sc to Zn are presented, where it is shown that the fundamental band gap is strongly dependent on the spin state and the degree of inversion of the spinel structure. The observed variation of electronic properties may serve as an explanation for the large scattering of experimental results. The exchange of M and Fe cations has also a pronounced effect on the Raman spectra of ferrites, which is analyzed at atomic scale from first principles. Calculated optical absorption spectra of ferrites are compared to experimental spectra. The electronic nature of the first excitations and the role of oxygen vacancies are discussed. For the calculation of absolute band positions, which have a significant impact on the photoelectrochemical activity of the ferrites, models of the most stable ferrite surfaces are developed that take into account their polar nature and the interaction with the solvent. Theoretically predicted valence and conduction band edges are compared to results from electrochemical measurements. The role of cation exchange on the surface electronic structure is investigated both theoretically and experimentally.

Abstract The energy spectra of isomers nos. 11 and 22 of C_84 fullerene is obtained with allowance for the intrasite Coulomb interaction. Based on the obtained spectra, the optical absorption spectra of these systems are simulated. The obtained optical absorption spectra qualitatively agree well with the available experimental data. In addition, the optical absorption spectra are also calculated on the base of the energy spectra of each of the systems calculated without considering the intrasite Coulomb interaction. The comparison of the results obtained in these different models strongly demonstrates the most important role of the Coulomb interaction in the formation of the electronic and optical properties of these systems.
