Abstract
Bi2YbO4Cl with a fluorite layer structure belongs to the family of the bismuth rare-earth oxyhalides Bi2REO4X (X = Cl, Br, I). However, the synthesis and photoelectric properties of Bi2YbO4Cl have almost not been reported. In this work, Bi2YbO4Cl was synthesized using the solid-state method and the solvothermal method. Yb3+ ions show a strong characteristic absorption peak at 980 nm, which was measured by ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared absorption spectra. The transient photoconductivity of Bi2YbO4Cl was obtained by time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy system under 400 and 800 nm laser excitations, respectively. The frequency-dependent transient photoconductivity analysis reveals the Drude-Smith behavior in Bi2YbO4Cl. Under photoexcitation, the hot charge carriers with a long relaxation lifetime and a carrier mobility of 48 cm2/(V·s) are obtained. The synthesis of Bi2YbO4Cl is of great significance for the development of novel photocatalytic and photoharvesting materials with broad spectral response.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Rare Earths reports studies on the 17 rare earth elements. It is a unique English-language learned journal that publishes works on various aspects of basic theory and applied science in the field of rare earths (RE). The journal accepts original high-quality original research papers and review articles with inventive content, and complete experimental data. It represents high academic standards and new progress in the RE field. Due to the advantage of abundant RE resources of China, the research on RE develops very actively, and papers on the latest progress in this field emerge every year. It is not only an important resource in which technicians publish and obtain their latest research results on RE, but also an important way of reflecting the updated progress in RE research field.
The Journal of Rare Earths covers all research and application of RE rare earths including spectroscopy, luminescence and phosphors, rare earth catalysis, magnetism and magnetic materials, advanced rare earth materials, RE chemistry & hydrometallurgy, RE metallography & pyrometallurgy, RE new materials, RE solid state physics & solid state chemistry, rare earth applications, RE analysis & test, RE geology & ore dressing, etc.
