Abstract
In addition to the total attenuation of ionizing radiation, photoluminescence has been conventionally recognized to affect radiation-induced luminescence. In this study, we examined the optical and luminescence properties of Ce3+ in lithium silicate-based glasses with different optical basicities. The existence of Ce4+ was confirmed based on the optical absorption, Ce L3-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and optical coefficients of the calculated Ce4+ using the optical absorption and XANES data of Ce4+ species from a previous report. Compared to other multicomponent glasses, there was a slight deviation in the decay constant and quantum yield (QY) of the stoichiometric Li2O–2SiO2 glass. In addition, the light yields calculated from the pulse height spectra with 252Cf irradiation depend on the QY of the glasses. Considering the energy conversion process, the dependence of the light yield agreed with that of the conventional energy conversion process of neutron-induced luminescence.
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.
