Laser-induced graphitization of 100 nm monocrystals of diamond particles synthesized by high-pressure high-temperature (HP-HT) methods is not typically observed. The current study demonstrates the graphitization of 150 nm HP-HT nanodiamond particles in ca. 20-μm-thick thin films formed on a glass substrate when the intensity of a focused 633 nm He-Ne laser exceeds a threshold of ~ 33 kW/cm2. Graphitization is accompanied by green luminescence. The structure and morphology of the samples were investigated before and after laser excitation while using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These observations are explained by photoionization of [Ni-N]- and [N]-centers, leading to the excitation of electrons to the conduction band of the HP-HT nanodiamond films and an increase of the local temperature of the sample, causing the transformation of sp3 HP-HT nanodiamonds to sp2-carbon.

The transparent conducting oxide, SnO2, is a promising optoelectronic material with predicted tailorable properties via pressure-mediated band gap opening. While such electronic properties are typically modeled assuming perfect crystallinity, disordering of the O sublattice under pressure is qualitatively known. Here a quantitative approach is thus employed, combining extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy with X-ray diffraction, to probe the extent of Sn—O bond anharmonicities in the high-pressure cubic (Pa\bar{3}) SnO2 – formed as a single phase and annealed by CO2 laser heating to 2648 ± 41 K at 44.5 GPa. This combinational study reveals and quantifies a large degree of disordering in the O sublattice, while the Sn lattice remains ordered. Moreover, this study describes implementation of direct laser heating of non-metallic samples by CO2 laser alongside EXAFS, and the high quality of data which may be achieved at high pressures in a diamond anvil cell when appropriate thermal annealing is applied.

Erbium and ytterbium co-doped sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+) was synthesized by combusting in home microwave oven directly. The structure and morphology of the sample was characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and its upconversion luminescence properties were investigated in detail. Under 980nm semiconductor laser excitation, the color of upconversion luminescence of NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+ was green and red, and its upconversion spectrum exhibited distinct emission peaks at 522, 543 and 652 nm, the emission appears yellow-orange to the naked eye. The law of luminescence intensity versus pump power proved that the intense green emission at 522 and 543 nm were from Er3+(2H11/2→4I15/2and4S3/2→4I15/2), and the weaker red emission at 652 nm was from Er3+(4F9/2→4I15/2), which belong to the two photon process.
