Abstract
Silica-based glasses doped with Yb2O3 and combination of La2O3 and Yb2O3 were synthesized. Ag+ ions were introduced in the glass through Na+ -Ag+ ion exchange, further heat treatment of the glass samples initiates the formation of luminescent silver clusters. Glass samples show typical white luminescence of silver clusters as well as sensitized luminescence of Yb3+ ions under UV excitation. Introduction of Yb3+ ions into the glass decreases quantum yield and lifetime of silver cluster luminescence indicating the presence of energy transfer. While phosphorescence lifetime decreases gradually with increase in Yb3+ concentration, fluorescence lifetime shows only a minor decrease for the highest Yb2O3 content. Additionally, decrease in quantum yield is much higher than that of emission lifetime suggesting the coexistence of two different quenching mechanisms.
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.
