AbstractSeries of Eu2+/Eu3+-coactivated Li2CaSiO4 phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction technique. All the samples emitted the unique emissions of Eu2+ and Eu3+ ions when excited by 395 nm, while the strongest emission intensity was received when x = 0.03. On the basis of theoretical discussion, it is evident that crossover relaxation should be responsible for the thermal quenching mechanism which was further proved by the unchanged lifetime at elevated temperature. Besides, through analyzing the inconsistent responses of the emission intensities of the Eu2+ and Eu3+ ions to the temperature, the optical thermometric properties of the designed phosphors were studied. By selecting different emissions of Eu3+ ions and combining with that of the Eu2+ ions, adjustable sensitivities were realized in the resultant phosphors. Furthermore, the sensitivities of the studied compound were also found to be greatly affected by the doping concentration. The maximum absolute and relative sensitivities of the synthesized compounds were 0.0025 K−1 and 0.289% K−1, respectively. These achieved results implied that the Eu2+/Eu3+-coactivated Li2CaSiO4 phosphors were promising candidates for optical thermometry. Additionally, this work also provided promising methods to modulate the sensitivities of the luminescent compounds by adjusting spatial mode and doping concentration.

The europium (III) complex of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (C3CA) has been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, and emission (photoluminescence and electrochemiluminescence) spectroscopy. The synthesised complex having a formula Eu was photophysically characterized in solution and in the solid state. Electrochemiluminescence, ECL, of the system containing the Eu(III)/C3CA complex was studied using an oxide-covered aluminium electrode. The goal of these studies was to show the possibility of the use of electrochemical excitation of the Eu(III) ion in aqueous solution for emission generation. The generated ECL emission was very weak, and therefore its measurements and spectral analysis were carried out with the use of cut-off filters method. The studies proved a predominate role of the ligand-to-metal energy transfer (LMET) in the generated ECL.

Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is a main component of cement-based material required for constructing the geological repository. As in many countries, since the repository in Japan is constructed below water table, we must consider the interaction of radionuclide with cement materials altered around the repository after the backfill. Using fluorescence emission spectra, so far, the authors have investigated the interaction of Eu(III) (as a chemical analog of Am(III)) with CSH gels formed with no dried process, considering a condition saturated with groundwater. However, in such fluorescence emission behaviors, a deexcitation process of OH vibrators of light water and a quenching effect caused by Eu-Eu energy transfer between Eu atoms incorporated in the CSH gel must be considered. This study examined the fluorescence emission behavior of Eu(III) sorbed on CSH gels formed with no dried process, by using La(III) (non-fluorescent ions) as a diluent of Eu(III). Furthermore, the CSH samples were synthesized with CaO, SiO2, and heavy water (D2O) as a solvent in order to avoid the obvious deexcitation process of OH vibrators of light water. This study prepared CSH samples with the Ca/Si ratio set to 1.6, 1.0, and 0.5. A 1 mM solution of a given combination of Eu(III) and La(III) (Eu(III) content: 100%, 67%, 50% or 33%) was added into CSH gel sample. The contact time-period of the CSH gel with the Eu(III)/La(III) solution was set to 60 days. In the results, the peak around 618 nm was split into two peaks of 613 nm and 622 nm in the cases of Ca/Si = 1.0 and 1.6. Then, the peak of 613 nm decreased with increment of Eu(III)/La(III) ratio. This means that the relative intensity of 613 nm is useful to quantify the amount of Eu(III) incorporated in CSH gel. Besides, the intensity peak of 584 nm decayed with increment of Eu/La ratio, suggesting a quenching effect due to Eu-Eu energy transfer. However, the decay behavior of the fluorescence emission did not depend on the Eu/La concentration ratio. That is, such a quenching effect is neglectable. Additionally, the low Ca/Si ratio samples underwent slow attenuation of fluorescence and showed profiles similar to those of high Ca/Si ratio samples. Therefore, low Ca/Si ratio samples also include the reaction forming a complex on the surface of CSH gel with Eu(III). In other words, even if Ca/Si ratio is lower than 1.0, CSH gels would retard the migration of radionuclides released from the repository.
