Structural Confinement toward Controlling Energy Transfer Path for Enhancing Near-Infrared Luminescence

Chem. Mater. 2021, 33, 21, 8360–8366 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chemmater.1c02734

Energy transfer (ET) between optically active ions usually leads to luminescent concentration quenching and thermal quenching. Toward luminescence enhancement, it is very challenging to control the ET path. Herein, we demonstrated a strategy for selectively controlling ET pathway through the structural confinement effect for activated ions. In the Yb3+-doped Sr9Cr(PO4)7 (SCP) compound, Cr3+ ions are well separated from each other (≥8.97 Å), but they are close to Yb3+ ions (3.70–5.29 Å) due to structural confinement. Therefore, ET is depressed between Cr3+ ions but induced from Cr3+ to Yb3+ ions. On increasing Yb3+ concentration, the thermal stability of near-infrared emission is significantly improved. The emission intensity of the SCP:0.15Yb3+ phosphor at 375 K can keep 100% of that at 80 K. Finally, we show the potential applications of SCP:Yb3+ phosphor in food analysis and nondestructive examination fields. This study provides a new strategy for enhancing luminescence.

Octahedron-dependent near-infrared luminescence in Cr3+-activated phosphors

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mtchem.2021.100704

Searching for broadband near-infrared (NIR) materials with high efficiency and excellent thermal luminescence stability is of great significance because of their widespread spectroscopic applications. Different element substitution can modulate the structure and crystal field of host lattice so as to regulate the luminescent properties. Herein, we report the octahedron-dependent NIR luminescence in Cr3+-doped KMP2O7 (M = Ga, Sc, In, and Lu) phosphors and investigate the effect of octahedral environment on luminescent properties, aiming to provide guidance for host material selection. The decreased crystal field strength leads to the apparent spectral red shift from 815 to 900 nm for the samples of M = Ga to Lu. The small Stokes shift as well as weak electron–phonon coupling effect decreases the non-radiative transition probability and thus gives rise to the highest emission intensity and excellent thermal stability of Cr3+-doped KGaP2O7. The optimal sample, KGa0.89P2O7:0.11Cr3+, possesses an internal/external quantum efficiency of 55.8%/36.6%, and its integrated emission intensity at 423 K can maintain 68% of that at room temperature. Finally, we investigate the potential applications in non-destructive examination field by manufacturing a NIR phosphor-conversion light-emitting diode device.

New (Deep)-UV NLO Materials: From Synthesis to Applications

Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are critical in generating coherent light through frequency conversion, e.g., second harmonic generation (SHG). From the ultraviolet (UV) to the infrared (IR), NLO materials have expanded the range of the electromagnetic spectrum accessible by solid-state lasers. Wavelengths where NLO materials are still needed include the UV (~200 – 400nm) and deep UV (< 200nm). Coherent deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light has a variety of technologically important uses including photolithography, atto-second pulse generation, and in advanced instrument development. Design strategies will be discussed, as well as synthetic methodologies. In addition, the crystal growth, characterization, and structure-property relationships in new UV and DUV NLO materials discovered in our laboratory will be presented. Finally, our crystal growth capabilities and recent crystal growth of functional materials will be described.

报告内容:

稀土离子具有丰富的电子能级结构,其光子吸收与发射几乎覆盖了整个紫外-可见-近红外光谱区域,被广泛应用于制备各种发光材料。尽管稀土离子4f壳层内的电子跃迁相对稳定,但掺杂浓度调控的离子间相互作用、声子能量决定的非辐射弛豫和辅助的能量传递、温度促进的非辐射跃迁等都将对稀土离子(对)的发光过程产生不可忽略或本质的影响。最近,基于近红外量子剪裁下转换发光、蓝光到紫外上转换和荧光温度探针发光现象,我们对蓝光激发下Tm3+/Yb3+共掺体系、Ho3+单掺体系和Pr3+/Gd3+共掺体系的发光特性展开了系统的研究,对其中所涉及的掺杂浓度(~0.001-0.3)、声子能量(~370-1050 cm-1)和温度(~30-900 K)(综合)调控的能量传递机制进行了初步的探究,基于样品的稳态-动态光谱学实验数据分析和理论模拟与计算,得出了一系列有指导意义的结论。
