Eight glow peaks occur with the most intense peak exhibiting a maximum at 306 K. Data analyses show that the peaks generally obey first-order kinetics with thermal activation energies ranging from 0.085 to 0.907 eV. The relatively short lifetime (160 s) of the intense glow peak at 306 K implies that it does not make a significant contribution to the long-lived room-temperature afterglow routinely observed in this phosphor. Spectral emission of the glow peaks is dominated by Ce3+ de-excitation, although additional emission due to trace amounts of Sm3+ is observed for T < 72 K. Elastic recoil detection measurements in nominally undoped and cerium-doped Lu2SiO5 show that the doped specimen contains 3.5–4.0 times more hydrogen within the first 300 nm of the surface than does the undoped sample. However, spectral emission associated with surface hydrogen defects was not observed. Oxygen vacancies, which trap one or more electrons, are proposed as the most likely defect sites in Lu2SiO5. Perturbations of the six- and seven-oxygen-coordinated sites produce a multipeak glow curve with various activation energies and frequency factors. The glow peaks are intrinsic to the C2/c-structured lattice and are independent of the particular rare-earth dopant ion.","PeriodicalId":20016,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Magazine Part B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79429865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additional evidence is given that the amorphous phase consists of two components which continuously evolve as a function of ion dose. A characteristic disorder-related Urbach parameter from the absorption measurements was used as a measure of the total disorder at each dose, whereas Raman results enabled the separation of a random component (amorphous continuous random network (a-CRN)) and a medium-rangeordered component (amorphous boson peak (a-Br)) of the amorphous network. As the dose is increased, the a-CRN fraction gradually converts into the a-BP fraction. The decrease in the remaining a-CRN fraction with increasing dose correlates with the decrease in the disorder as observed by absorption measurements and the Urbach parameter.","PeriodicalId":20016,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Magazine Part B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90928557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The net difference ▵n c between the refractive indices of the glass particles and the matrix of the fabricated composite ranged from nearly zero to 0.03. This difference between the refractive indices is achieved by, firstly, selecting the optical properties of dispersed glass particles and secondly, changing the thermal stress in the composite. The effect of the difference ▵n c between the refractive indices of the glass particles and the epoxy matrix on the light transmittance of the composite is obtained. It is found that the light transmission spectrum of the composite is correlated with the relationship between the wavelength dispersion curves of the refractive indices of the glass particles and the matrix. At a fixed wavelength, the T L−▵n c curve is only dependent on the particle size and volume fraction. The measured T L−▵n c curves of the composite at a given particle volume fraction and a given particle size show that the maximum light transmittance of the composite appears when ▵n c ≈ 0. The value is about 92% and is nearly the same as that of the pure epoxy matrix.","PeriodicalId":20016,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Magazine Part B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82595575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Isothermal magnetization measurements, including pulsed-field measurements, show hysteretic-field-induced transitions at B ≈ 4T for T ≪ TN1 associated with a spin reorientation of the Pr moments.

The effect of dispersed particles on the light scattering behaviour of the composite was determined from the difference between the in-line and total light transmittance. The difference between the light transmittances increases with increase in the particle volume fraction and this result indicates that the glass particles are a major source of light scattering in the composite. The phase profile changes with the addition of glass particles; a higher particle volume fraction yields a larger phase profile distribution. This result demonstrates that the phase profile of the transmitted light is strongly correlated with the total amount of light scattering source in the composite. The measured phase delay becomes pronounced on increasing separation from the laser beam axis and this behaviour is explained by increase in the laser beam path in the composite caused by the light scattering.","PeriodicalId":20016,"journal":{"name":"Philosophical Magazine Part B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86161244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
