Structural changes of the iron(II)-tris-bipyridine ([FeII(bpy)3]2+) complex induced by ultrashort pulse excitation and population of its short-lived (0.6ns) quintet high spin state have been detected by picosecond x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The structural relaxation from the high spin to the low spin state was followed over the entire lifetime of the excited state. A combined analysis of the x
The time-dependent electronic structure of Eu:SrGa 2 S 4 after excitation by a femtosecond laser pulse is investigated by time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy. We observe a transient shift in the Eu L 3
With ultraviolet illumination, we have found a broad UV-induced absorption in the blue and some involvement of Pr ions in Pr:LiNbO 3 . Transient and stable absorption induced by UV illumination was analyzed at 457, 514, and 633 nm and could be explained by hole trap centers and iron ions. We also studied the effects
We have observed ultraviolet-induced visible absorption and performed two-color holographic recording at green, red, and near-infrared light in thulium doped near-stoichiometric LiNbO 3 crystal. The diffraction efficiency and sensitivity of the recording process at all wavelengths are increased by ultraviolet gat
Mn-doped AlN films were prepared by magnetron reactive sputtering system. The preparation conditions were optimized to give pure single-phase AlMnN films. The films were deposited on quartz substrates. The single-phase films were obtained in argon-nitrogen pressure of 6 mTorr and a substrate temperature of 300 °C. The films typically had a thickness of 0.4 μm. The XRD
Optical spectroscopy of Tm3+-doped 59H3BO 3-20ZnO-20LiF-1Tm2O3 glass is presented. From the measured absorption spectra, radiative parameters were determined using the Judd-Ofelt (JO) theory. Excitation in the range of 750-800 nm resulted in a frequency up-converted emission at 453 nm (1D2 → 3F4). Excitation spectra and intensity dependence of the up-converted fluorescence have been investigated a
A large magneto-caloric effect is reported in a La0.8Ca 0.2MnO3 single crystal. The magnetic entropy change (ΔSM) reaches ∼7.25 J/kg K for an applied field of 5 T, which is very practical for magnetic refrigeration applications. Satisfactory agreement between the theoretical calculations on ΔSM derived in the molecular field approximation and the experimental dependency has been found.
We report ultraviolet-induced transient and stable absorption and two-color holographic recording at 514, 633, and 830 nm in thulium doped stoichiometric LiNbO 3 crystal. The gating light at 355 nm increased the diffraction efficiency and sensitivity. We found the optimum gating-recording intensity ratio for maxi
We investigated the photoluminescence properties of near-stoichiometric LiNbO3 crystals doped with Tb only and double doped with Tb and Fe. Excitation spectra for the emission from the 5D4 state in both crystals have been studied in the range 200-500 nm. We observed two broad ultraviolet absorption bands and discussed their relations to Tb ions. Temperature dependence of the 5D4 emission intensity
From the ultraviolet induced absorption, we have found a broad blue band and little involvement of Pr ions in ultraviolet illumination. Ultraviolet excited photoluminescence and the excitation spectra for visible emission were also measured in Pr:LiNbO3. We estimated photovoltaic constant and photoconductivity by measuring photovoltaic current and voltage with different boundary conditions. With u
We report on the up-converted emissions at 367, 458 and 483 nm in thulium doped lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG) under infrared excitation in the range of 730-800 nm. We also observe blue and strong green emission in thulium and holmium codoped LuAG with near infrared excitation. Excitation spectra, power dependence, temporal behavior and temperature dependence of up-converted emissions were measur
