The optical spectra of samples of double zirconium molybdates activated by rare-earth Pr^3+ and Nd^3+ ions are studied. The presence of bands corresponding to the 4 f –4 f transitions of Pr^3+ and Nd^3+ trivalent ions in the absorption, excitation, and luminescence spectra is shown. A strong dependence of the luminescence intensity of Pr^3+ ions on temperature is revealed.
The article describes the process and parameters of growing CsI:Sm2+ single crystals by the Czochralski method. Spectroscopic studies of the CsI:Sm2+ single crystal have been carried out; it has been established that samarium ions enter the caesium iodide single crystal in the divalent state. At room temperature, luminescence is observed corresponding to the 4f55d1-4f6 transitions of divalent samarium; on cooling, only radiative 4f6-4f6 transitions are observed. The temperature dependence of the luminescence has been measured, the barrier energy has been determined, and the decay times of the luminescence have been measured.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
