Abstract Ce:LaB3O6 (LBO) glass, whose constituents are abundant elements and fabrication is easy and cheap, is found to be a promising thermoluminescence (TL) dosimeter. This is originally achieved by CeF3 doping and melting under a reducing atmosphere, with the optimum concentration of 0.1% (quantum efficiency = 66%). The corresponding Ce interatomic distance is ~ 4 nm, below which concentration quenching occurs via Ce dipole-dipole interaction, as elucidated experimentally by Dexter’s theory. Ce:LBO exhibits a good dose resolution, with a linear dependence covering five orders of magnitude on both irradiation-dose and TL-response. Furthermore, it can be cyclically irradiated and read without degradation.

The high-temperature diffusion of an acceptor impurity of beryllium (Be) into bulk single-crystal aluminum nitride (AlN) has been studied. It is shown that the introduction of Be leads to the appearance of green luminescence of AlN, which is stable at room temperature and is observed over the entire thickness of the sample. It was shown by the method of luminescence analysis that the Be diffusion process is most efficiently realized in the temperature range from 1800°C to 2100°C and is characterized by extremely high diffusion coefficients D = 10-7 cm2/s and 10-6 cm2/s, respectively. It is shown that a prolonged diffusion process (t ≥ 1 hour) at a temperature of 2100°C leads to concentration quenching of the luminescence of near-surface AlN layers with a thickness of ≈ 80 μm, which makes it possible to estimate the concentration of beryllium impurities in the near-surface layer on the order of 10E19 cm-3.

Y3Al5O12 (YAG) nanocrystals have been synthesized by a modified solvothermal method (300°C) allowing the incorporation of cerium ions in much larger proportion (up to 30 mol.% with respect to yttrium ions) than ever published. The reasons are the nanometric size of the produced nanocrystals, allowing to accommodate Ce3+ ions in the rigid YAG structure thanks to the presence of local distortions, and also the soft synthesis route, at low temperatures and far from the thermodynamic equilibrium, which favors the cerium insertion. As a consequence, Ce3+ photoluminescence spectrum can be tuned with the doping concentration, from 541 nm for low Ce3+ concentration to 580 nm for a cerium concentration of 30 mol.%. The internal quantum yield reaches 40 ± 5% before decreasing due to concentration quenching. The nanocrystal brightness, which combines the internal quantum yield and the cerium concentration, has been found optimal for a doping of 2 mol.% Ce3+.

Abstract We have grown arrays of silver nanowires in pores of anodic alumina membranes (metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion at λ ≥ 615 nm), spin coated them with the dye-doped polymer (HITC:PMMA), and studied the rates of radiative and nonradiative relaxation as well as the concentration quenching (Förster energy transfer to acceptors). The results were compared to those obtained on top of planar Ag films and glass (control samples). The strong spatial inhomogeneity of emission kinetics recorded in different spots across the sample and strong inhibition of the concentration quenching in arrays of Ag nanowires are among the most significant findings of this study.
