Fused yttrium-alumoborate glasses doped with ytterbium, silicon, chromium, and sodium were synthesized. The influence of the matrix on the "spectroscopic behavior" of chromium ions and the efficiency of their sensitization of Yb3+ luminescence was established by spectral-luminescence and EPR-studies. It was found that (1) chromium in alkali-free glasses is mainly in the oxidation degree Cr(III) with an appreciable admixture of Cr(IV) and Cr(V), (2) the partial replacement of Al2O3 or B2O3 by SiO2 and Y2O3 by Yb2O3 affects to a different extent the relative concentration of optical centers of chromium ions, (3) the addition of alkali results in the formation of Cr(VI) centers as a result of oxidation of less charged chromium ions and predominantly tetracoordinated Cr4+ and Cr5+, (4) Cr3+ ions make the main contribution to the luminescence sensitization of Yb3+ ions, while Cr4+ ions and to a lesser extent Cr5+ play the role of luminescence quencher and internal filter. Sensitization of Yb3+ luminescence through the charge transfer band in Cr(VI) was found. An alkaline glass doped with Cr and Yb upon excitation through the sensitizer produced a luminescence quantum yield of 32% and the conditions for its enhancement were considered. It is shown that the temperature quenching of luminescence of CrYb-containing glasses is significantly lower than that of Cr-containing glasses.

Photoluminescence Gas Sensing by Fluorescein-Dye Anions/1-Butanesulfonate/Layered Double Hydroxide Hybrid Materials under Humid Environment Conditions

In this study, we investigated the photoluminous spectroscopic behavior of hybrid powder incorporating both anionic fluorescein dye (AFD) and 1-butanesulfonate (C4S) with layered double hydroxide (LDH) in the presence of NH3 or NO2 gas under various relative humidity conditions. In the presence of NH3 gas, drastic photoluminescence enhancement from the LDH/AFD/C4S hybrid was observed at relative humidity (RH) ≥ 40% when the NH3 reached a certain concentration. Meanwhile, the LDH/AFD/C4S hybrid was exposed to NO2 gas at various relative humidity conditions, and the following behavior was observed: At RH ≥ 60%, the photoluminescence (PL) intensity from the hybrid gradually decreased as NO2 concentration increased. Therefore, the LDH/AFD/C4S hybrid investigated in this study is inferred to be suitable for optical NH3/NO2 sensor devices, which can be used in humid air.
