High-resolution optical spectroscopy of europium nitrate hexahydrate crystals
We report the optical study of europium nitrate hexahydrate crystals Eu(NO3) 6H2O and their deuterated version Eu(NO3) 6D2O conducted at 50 mK. The crystals show sub-GHz inhomogeneous linewidths for the transition and optical coherence times up to 136 μs for the non-deuterated crystal and 750 μs for the deuterated one. In addition, using the spectral hole burning technique, the hyperfine splittings in the absence of an external field have been estimated for the ground and optical levels. These results suggest that rare-earth nitrate crystals could represent a promising class of materials for quantum information applications as well as for fundamental physics experiments requiring narrow optical transitions and good coherence properties.
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.
