Abstract
Sm3+-doped lithium oxy-fluorophosphate glasses were successfully synthesized via the melt-quenching method, with partial substitution of P2O5 by NaF and KF to investigate compositional effects on structural and optical properties. The incorporation of alkali fluorides led to an increase in density and a corresponding decrease in molar volume, indicating a more compact glass network. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that NaF addition significantly enhanced the presence of non-bridging oxygens (NBOs), confirming the structural depolymerization. Photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray induced luminescence (XIL) measurements exhibited distinct trends: PL intensity was enhanced with NaF due to increased NBOs, while XIL intensity was higher with KF addition, possibly due to more efficient energy transfer from secondary electrons. Chromaticity analysis based on CIE coordinates confirmed the stable orange emission across all glass samples, with negligible spectral shift. These findings provide valuable insight into tailoring Sm3+-activated glass scintillations through compositional modifications.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
