Abstract
The challenge of building a highly reliable contactless temperature probe with high sensitivity, good temperature-induced color discriminability, and economical synthesis has prompted the research community to work in the field of rare-earth-based luminescence thermometry. Moreover, the fast-growing market for optoelectronic devices has increased the demand for tunable color-emitting phosphors. In this study, Dy3+/Eu3+co-doped SrMoO4phosphors were developed as tunable color-emitting source and dual-mode luminescence thermometer. A facile and cost-effective auto-combustion method was used to synthesize the phosphors. Our work demonstrates a viable scheme for tailoring the emission of single-phase phosphors by precisely controlling the dopant concentrations and by modulating excitation wavelength. The overall emission is tuned from greenish-yellow to white and greenish-yellow to reddish-orange. A detailed energy transfer process from the host to the Ln3+ions and between the Ln3+ions is discussed. Further, anti-thermal quenching in the emission of Dy3+ion is observed when excited with 297 nm. The dual-mode luminescence thermometry has been studied by analyzing the fluorescence intensity ratio of Dy3+and Eu3+ions upon excitation at 297 nm. The maximum relative sensitivity value for 4% Eu3+co-doped SrMoO4:4%Dy3+phosphor is 1.46% K-1at 300 K. Furthermore, the configurational coordinate diagram is presented to elucidate the nature of temperature-dependent emission. Therefore, our research opens up new avenues for the development of color-tunable luminescent materials for various optoelectronic and temperature-sensing applications.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:4500. [PMID: 36558353 PMCID: PMC9786153 DOI: 10.3390/nano12244500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the series of Dy3+-doped silicate xerogels were synthesized by sol-gel technique and further processed at 350 °C into SiO2-LaF3:Dy3+ nano-glass-ceramic materials. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, along with the thermal analysis, indicated that heat-treatment triggered the decomposition of La(TFA)3 inside amorphous sol-gel hosts, resulting in the formation of hexagonal LaF3 phase with average crystal size at about ~10 nm. Based on the photoluminescence results, it was proven that the intensities of blue (4F9/2 → 6H15/2), yellow (4F9/2 → 6H13/2), and red (4F9/2 → 6H11/2) emissions, as well as the calculated yellow-to-blue (Y/B) ratios, are dependent on the nature of fabricated materials, and from fixed La3+:Dy3+ molar ratios. For xerogels, the emission was gradually increased, and the τ(4F9/2) lifetimes were elongated to 42.7 ± 0.3 μs (La3+:Dy3+ = 0.82:0.18), however, for the sample with the lowest La3+:Dy3+ molar ratio (0.70:0.30), the concentration quenching was observed. For SiO2-LaF3:Dy3+ nano-glass-ceramics, the concentration quenching effect was more visible than for xerogels and started from the sample with the highest La3+:Dy3+ molar ratio (0.988:0.012), thus the τ(4F9/2) lifetimes became shorter from 1731.5 ± 5.7 up to 119.8 ± 0.4 μs. The optical results suggest, along with an interpretation of XRD data, that Dy3+ ions were partially entered inside LaF3 phase, resulting in the shortening of Dy3+-Dy3+ inter-ionic distances.

Abstract
A series of glasses with composition 60NaPO3-(40-x)CdF2-xYF3-yEr2O3 were synthesized via melt-quenching methods and subsequently heat-treated to obtain upconversion luminescent glass ceramics containing NaYF4:Er crystals. Hexagonal and/or cubic NaYF4 crystals were controlled to be bred in the glasses by changing the glass composition. The structure evolution driven by crystallization was characterized using advanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) techniques. The SSNMR results reveal that the Y/Na ratio determines the crystalline phases of NaYF4 precipitated in this glass system. Y3+ attracts extra F- ions from P5+ and Cd2+ during crystallization because of its stronger ability to attract F- ions, leading to most Y3+ ions being crystallized into the NaYF4 crystals. The paramagnetic broadening effect of the Er3+ ions on NMR signals as well as the upconversion luminescence results indicate that, before crystallization, most Er3+ ions are surrounded by oxygen within the glasses; however, after crystallization, almost all of them enter the NaYF4 crystals. On the basis of this local structure investigation, a composition design strategy is developed to obtain highly efficient upconversion luminescent glass ceramics.

Transparent Glasses and Glass-Ceramics in the Ternary System TeO 2-Nb 2O 5-PbF 2. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14020317.

Abstract
Transparent fluorotellurite glasses were prepared by melt-quenching in the ternary system TeO2-Nb2O5-PbF2. The synthesis conditions were adjusted to minimize fluorine loss monitored as HF release. It was found that 10 mol% of Nb2O5 is the optimum content for PbF2 incorporation up to 35 mol% in the tellurite matrix without loss of glass forming ability. Such glass compositions exhibit a wide optical window from 380 nm to about 6 μm. Crystallization properties were carefully investigated by thermal analysis and compositions with higher PbF2 contents exhibit preferential precipitation of lead oxyfluoride Pb2OF2 at lower temperatures. The lead oxyfluoride crystallization mechanism is also governed by a volume nucleation, barely reported in tellurite glasses. Eu3+ doping of these glass compositions also promotes a more efficient nucleation step under suitable heat-treatments, resulting in transparent Eu3+-doped glass-ceramics whereas undoped glass-ceramics are translucent. Finally, Eu3+ spectroscopy pointed out a progressive, more symmetric surrounding around the rare earth ions with increasing PbF2 contents as well as higher quantum efficiencies. These new fluorotellurite glass compositions are promising as luminescent hosts working in the middle infrared.

Abstract
In this paper, some series of lead borate glasses and glass ceramics singly doped with Dy3+ ions were prepared and then studied using spectroscopic techniques. Our research includes mainly studies of the luminescence properties of received materials for white light. The luminescence bands associated with the characteristic 4F9/2→6H15/2 (blue), 4F9/2→6H13/2 (yellow) and 4F9/2→6H11/2 (red) transitions of trivalent dysprosium in lead borate systems are well observed. In particular, the Commission Internationale de I’Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates (x, y) were calculated in relation to potential applications for white light-emitting diodes (W-LEDs). Their values depend on the relative B2O3/PbO ratios and PbX2 contents (where X = Cl, F, Br) in glass composition. For glass-ceramics, the chromaticity coordinates are changed significantly under different excitation wavelengths.

Abstract
Barium tungstate (BaWO4) powders with various sintering temperatures, and BaWO4:Dy3+ phosphor samples with concentrations of different rare-earth (RE) activator ions (Dy3+, Sm3+, Tb3+) were prepared through co-precipitation. The structural, morphological, and photoluminescent characteristics of barium tungstate phosphors depend on the concentration of RE ions. The crystallographic characteristics of the synthesized BaWO4 were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The size and shape of the crystalline particles were estimated based on images measured with a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). As the sintering temperature of the BaWO4 particles increased from 400 °C to 1000 °C, the size of the particles gradually increased and showed a tendency to clump together. In the sample doped with 7 mol % Dy3+ ions, the intensity of all emission bands reached their maximum. The emission spectra of the RE3+-doped BaWO4 powders by excitation at 325 nm were composed of yellow (Dy3+), red (Sm3+), and green (Tb3+) band at 572, 640, and 544 nm. This indicates that most of the RE3+ ions absorbed the position without reversal symmetry in the BaWO4 lattice. These results propose that strong emission intensity and tunable color for the phosphors can be accomplished by rare-earth doped host with an suitable quantity. In addition, the phosphor thin films, having high transparency from aqueous colloidal solutions, were deposited on banknotes, and it is considered whether it is suitable for anti-counterfeiting applications.

Abstract
Functional nanocrystal-containing materials have been a hot topic in recent years. However, few researches have focused on functional nanocrystals contained in optical glass fibers. In this research, transparent CaF2 glass-ceramic was prepared by a melt-quenching method. Greatly enhanced upconversion luminescence was observed after heat treatment. By applying a novel method called melt-in-tube, precursor fiber free of crystals was fabricated at the drawing temperature where the clad was softened while the core was melted. Glass-ceramic fiber with fiber core containing Yb(3+)-Er(3+) codoped CaF2 nanocrystals was obtained after heat treatment at a relatively low temperature. Electron probe micro-analyzer measurement shows no obvious element diffusion between the core and clad. Greatly enhanced upconversion emission was detected in the glass-ceramic fiber excited by a 980 nm laser, suggesting the developed glass-ceramic fiber is a promising material for upconversion laser.

Abstract
We report for the first time the characterization of glass-ceramics for optical refrigeration. Ytterbium-doped nanocrystallites were grown in an oxyfluoride glass matrix of composition 2YbF(3):30SiO(2)-15Al(2)O(3)-25CdF(2)-22PbF(2)-4YF(3), forming bulk glass-ceramics at three different crystalisation levels. The samples are compared with a corresponding uncrystalised (glass) sample, as well as a Yb:YAG sample which has presented optical cooling. The measured X-ray diffraction spectra, and thermal capacities of the samples are reported. We also report for the first time the use of Yb:YAG as a reference for absolute photometric quantum efficiency measurement, and use the same setup to characterize the glass and glass-ceramic samples. The cooling figure-of-merit was measured by optical calorimetry using a fiber Bragg grating and found to depend on the level of crystallization of the sample, and that samples with nanocrystallites result in higher quantum efficiency and lower background absorption than the pure-glass sample. In addition to laser-induced cooling, the glass-ceramics have the potential to serve as a reference for quantum efficiency measurements.

Abstract
A series of Ca(4)Y(6)(SiO(4))(6)O (CYS): Ce(3+)/Mn(2+)/Tb(3+) oxyapatite phosphors were prepared via high-temperature solid-state reaction. Under UV excitation, there exist dual energy transfers (ET), i.e., Ce(3+)→Mn(2+) and Ce(3+)→Tb(3+) in the CYS: Ce(3+), Mn(2+), Tb(3+) system and their emitting colors can be adjusted from blue to orange-red via ET of Ce(3+)→Mn(2+) and from blue to green via ET of Ce(3+)→Tb(3+), respectively. Moreover, a wide-range-tunable white light emission with high quantum yields (13%-30%) were obtained by precisely controlling the contents of Ce(3+), Mn(2+) and Tb(3+) ions. On the other hand, the CL properties of CYS: Ce(3+), Mn(2+), Tb(3+) phosphors have been investigated in detail. The studied results indicate that the as-prepared CYS: Ce(3+), Mn(2+), Tb(3+) phosphors have good CL intensity and CIE color coordinate stability with a color-tunable emission crossing the whole white light region under low-voltage electron beam excitation. In general, the white light with varied hues has been obtained in Ce(3+), Mn(2+), and Tb(3+)-triactivated CYS phosphors by utilizing the principle of energy transfer and properly designed activator contents under UV (284, 358 nm) and low-voltage (1-5 kV) electron beam excitation, which make them as a potential single-composition trichromatic white-emitting phosphor.

Abstract
The single-phased K(2)Y(1-x)Eu(x)Zr(PO(4))(3) (x=0~1) phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction. The greenish-blue Zr(4+)-emission due to the Zr(4+)-O(2-) charge transfer transition is observed in the K(2)YZr(PO(4))(3) (x=0) phosphor under UV excitation. Together with the Zr(4+)-emission, the red emission of Eu(3+) is progressively developed by replacement of Y(3+) to Eu(3+) over the full Eu-content (x=0~1) in K(2)Y(1-x)Eu(x)Zr(PO(4))(3). The emission color varies from greenish-blue to whitish with increasing Eu(3+)-content and the white-light emission is realized in single-phased phosphor of K(2)EuZr(PO(4))(3) (x=1) by combining the Zr(4+)-emission and the Eu(3+)-emission.
