Abstract
Germanate ceramics Li2ZnGeO4:Nd3+ and Li2MgGeO4:Nd3+ have been studied for near-infrared (IR) luminescence applications. The phase identification showed that both ceramic compounds crystallized in a monoclinic lattice, characteristic of a broad family of germanate olivines. Near-IR luminescence spectra have been analyzed for Li2AGeO4:Nd3+ (A = Zn, Mg) under different excitation wavelengths. Near-IR emission bands observed in the second biological window correspond to the ceramic host as well as 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 and 4F3/2 → 4I13/2 transitions of Nd3+ ions, respectively. Based on luminescence spectra and their decays, several spectroscopic parameters for un-doped and Nd3+-doped ceramic samples were determined. The experimental results for germanate olivines containing Nd3+ ions suggest that ceramic host gives important contribution to near-IR luminescence at second biological window.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
