ABSTRACTThe connection of lead fluoride luminescence properties with its structural characteristics has been studied. Single crystals of the cubic and orthorombic phases, cubic and orthorombic powders, pressure compacted orthorombic ceramics, plastically deformed crystals were used. The photo- and X-ray excited luminescence spectra have been investigated. The experimental results have shown that the room temperature luminescence of lead fluoride can be accounted for local light emitting centers which are produced by the intrinsic structural defects in the orthorombic lead fluoride.

<p>X-ray scintillating NaGdF<sub>4</sub>: Eu and Tb nanophosphors were synthesized via co-precipitate and hydrothermal methods, encapsulated with silica, functionalized with biotin, and characterized by X-ray excited optical luminescence spectroscopy and imaging. The nanophosphors synthesized by co-precipitate method were ~90 and ~106 nm in size, respectively; nanophosphors synthesized by hydrothermal method showed the highest luminescence intensity. Further, we investigated the effect of thermal annealing/calcination on the X-ray excited luminescence spectra and intensity. We observed, at high-temperature, NaGdF<sub>4</sub>: Eu@SiO<sub>2</sub> converts to NaGd<sub>9</sub>Si<sub>6</sub>O<sub>26</sub>: Eu which is also an X-ray scintillator. The particles generate light through tissue and can be selectively excited using a focused X-ray source for imaging and light generation applications. The particles also act as MRI contrast agents for multi-modal localization. </p>

AbstractWe have studied optical properties and electronic structures of zero-dimensional (OD) Si nanocrystals and two-dimensional (2D) Si quantum wells by means of resonant excitation spectroscopy. Resonantly excited luminescence spectra of 0D Si nanocrystals are sensitive to the surface structure. The size dependence of the photoluminescence (PL) properties and resonantly excited PL spectra of SiO2-capped Si nanocrystals indicate that excitons are localized at the interface between the c-Si and SiO2 surface layer. The TO-phonon related structure in resonantly excited luminescence is clearly observed in H-passivated Si nanocrystals. Hpassivated Si nanocrystals show their crystalline nature, while the oxidized Si nanocrystals show their disordered nature. Luminescence properties of Si/SiO2 nanocrystals are similar to those of Si/SiO2 quantum wells. The electronic structures and luminescence properties of Si nanostructures are discussed.

C a 2.90 M e 0.10 2 + ( P O 4 ) 2 (with Me = Mn, Ni, Cu) β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) powders were synthesized by solid-state reaction at T = 1200 °C and investigated by means of a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and luminescence spectroscopy. SEM morphological analysis showed the run products to consist of sub spherical microcrystalline aggregates, while EDS semi-quantitative analysis confirmed the nominal Ca/Me composition. The unit cell and the space group were determined by X-ray powder diffraction data showing that all the compounds crystallize in the rhombohedral R3c whitlockite-type structure, with the following unit cell constants: a = b = 10.41014(19) Å, c = 37.2984(13) Å, and cell volume V = 3500.53(15) Å3 (Mn); a = b = 10.39447(10) Å, c = 37.2901(8) Å; V = 3489.22(9) Å3 (Ni); a = b = 10.40764(8) Å, c = 37.3158(6) Å, V = 3500.48(7) Å3 (Cu). The investigation was completed with the structural refinement by the Rietveld method. The FTIR spectra are similar to those of the end-member Ca β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP), in agreement with the structure determination, and show minor band shifts of the (PO4) modes with the increasing size of the replacing Me2+ cation. Luminescence spectra and decay curves revealed significant luminescence properties for Mn and Cu phases.

A novel borate compound Ba3ScB9O18 has been synthesized by solid-state reaction and its structure has been determined and refined from powder X-ray diffraction data. This compound crystallizes in a hexagonal cell (space group P63/m) with lattice parameters a=7.1360(4) Å and c=16.5420(9) Å, and each unit cell contains two formulas. Its crystal structure is made up of planar B3O6 groups parallel to each other along the [001] direction, regular ScO6 octahedra, irregular BaO6 hexagons, and BaO9 polyhedra to form an analogue structure of Ba3YB9O18. DTA and TGA curves for Ba3ScB9O18 show that it is a chemically stable and congruent melting compound. Luminescence properties for Ba3ScB9O18 were investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy and X-ray excited luminescence measurements. Its emission spectrum upon UV excitation (330 nm) has exhibited a prominent blue-green emission band at about 490 nm, and its XEL spectra show an intense emission band in the range of 360 to 500 nm with peak center at 400 nm. The light yield of Ba3ScB9O18 powders is about 23% as large as that of BGO powders under the same measurement conditions. There seems to be a certain relationship between the scintillation properties and the structural features of Ba3ScB9O18.
