This article presents results of near-field scanning optical microscope measurement of local luminescence of rhodamine 3B intercalated in montmorillonite samples. We focus on how local topography affects both the excitation and luminescence signals and resulting optical artifacts. The Finite Difference in Time Domain method (FDTD) is used to model the electromagnetic field distribution of the full tip-sample geometry including far-field radiation. Even complex problems like localized luminescence can be simulated computationally using FDTD and these simulations can be used to separate the luminescence signal from topographic artifacts.

CaAl₂O₄:Eu³⁺ (1 mol.%) co-doped with varying concentration of Gd³⁺ (1, 2, 5, and 10 mol.%) were prepared by combustion synthesis method at 600°C and further annealed at 1000°C. All the compositions were investigated for their structural and photoluminescence properties. It was observed that both states of europium i.e. Eu³⁺ and Eu²⁺ were present and ratio of these states changes on heating at 1000°C. The materials synthesized at 600°C showed high intense peak around 440 nm due to presence of Eu²⁺ and less intense peaks in the red region which were due to presence of Eu³⁺. On annealing the compounds at 1000°C, intensity of peak around 440 nm decreases and intensity of peaks in the red region increases significantly. The ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₃ transition due to Eu³⁺ at 657 nm appears as the highest intensity peak. All co-doped samples annealed at 1000°C showed the higher intensity than the mono doped sample which is due to energy transfer from the Gd³⁺ to Eu³⁺. The second rare-earth ion (Gd³⁺) acts as sensitizer and enhances the photoluminescence intensity. The X-ray diffraction spectra reveal the monoclinic phase of CaAl₂O₄ in all the samples which showed that Eu³⁺ and Gd³⁺ do not change the crystalline structure of calcium aluminate.

An optical fluorescent sensor based on a chitosan thin film co-doped with Eu3+ and a bromothymol blue pH indicator has been developed. Near-UV to visible (350–400 nm) excitation of the europium (III) chelate complexes with 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione exhibits a typical lanthanide emission with maximum at 618 nm. Luminescent spectra of the Eu3+ complex were found to be insensitive to the presence of methylamine gas. Therefore, bromothymol blue, a non-fluorescent pH indicator with an absorbance maximum of deprotonated form close to the Eu3+ emission band was added to the film to provide a non-fluorescent reversible response to different methylamine concentrations, which can be detected by measuring the Eu3+ emission.

In our study, the 1% mol Eu2+ doped Li2CaSiO4: B3+ phosphors were prepared by the combustion method as fluorescent material for ultraviolet, light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) used as a light source. The properties of Li2 (Ca0.99, Eu0.01) SiO4: B3+ phosphors with urea concentration, doping boric acid and a series of initiating combustion temperature were investigated. The crystallization and particle sizes of Li2 (Ca0.99, Eu0.01) SiO4: B3+ has been investigated by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Luminescence measurements showed that the phosphors can be efficiently excited by UV to the visible region, and exhibited bluish green light with a peak of 480 nm. The results showed that the boric acid was effective in improving the luminescence intensity of Li2 (Ca0.99, Eu0.01) SiO4: B3+ and the optimum molar ratio of boric acid to calcium nitrate was about 0.06. The optimized phosphors Li2 (Ca0.99, Eu0.01) SiO4: B0.063+ showed 180% improved emission intensity compared with that of the Li2 (Ca0.99, Eu0.01) SiO4 phosphors under ultraviolet (λex =287 nm) excitation.

Self-assembly of N6-donor bis(terpyridine) ligand L with transition metal ions: Co(II), Mn(II) and Cd(II) leads to a formation of three kinds of supramolecular complexes. In the electronic absorption and emission spectra of supramolecular complexes additional bands were observed what was ascribed to the coordination of ligand molecules to metal ions. Luminescence properties of these complexes strongly depend on the kind of metal ions and counter ions. The effective blue luminescence was observed in the case of Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes in which all N-donor atoms of ligand molecules coordinate with the metal center

A comparative study of the excitation of luminescence by VUV radiation as well as of thermally and photostimulated luminescence has been carried out for CaSO4:Tb3+ and CaSO4:Gd3+ phosphors, where Na+ or F− ions are used for charge compensation. The distinction in hole processes for the phosphors with Na+ or F− compensators is determined by the differing thermal stability of the holes localized at/near Tb3+Na+ and Gd3+Na+ (up to 100–160 K) or at/near Tb3+F− V Ca and Gd3+F− V Ca centers involving also a cation vacancy (up to 400–550 K). Tunnel luminescence in the pairs of localized electrons and holes nearby Tb3+ or Gd3+ has been detected. The mechanisms of electron-hole, hole-electron and tunnel recombination luminescence as well as a subsequent released energy transfer to RE3+ ions are considered.

A series of new red phosphors, MZr2(PO4)3:Eu3+; Bi3+ (M=Na; K), were synthesized using the solidstate reaction method, and their photoluminescence spectra were measured. The MZr2(PO4)3:Eu3+; Bi3+ (M=Na; K) phosphors were efficiently excited by an ultraviolet (UV; 395 nm) source, and showed intense orange-red emission at 595 nm. Further investigation of the concentration-dependent emission spectra indicated that the MZr2(PO4)3:Eu3+; Bi3+ (M=Na; K) phosphors exhibit the strongest luminescence intensity when y = 0.01 in NaZr2(0:95−y)(PO4)3:Eu0.103+, Bi2y 3+ and y = 0.09 in NaZr2(0.95−y)(PO4)3:Eu0.103+, Bi2y 3+, whereas the relative PL intensity decreases with increasing Bi3+ concentration due to concentration quenching. The addition of Bi3+ widens the excitation band of NaZr2(0.95−y)(PO4)3:Eu0.103+, Bi2y 3+ around 320 nm, which provides the useful idea of broadening the excitation band around 300–350 nm to fit the ultraviolet chip.

ZnWO4 powders with grain size in range 20 nm–10 µm have been synthesized by a simple combustion method and subsequent calcinations. The photocatalytic activities of powders were tested by degradation of methylene blue solution under UV light. The luminescence spectra and luminescence decay kinetics were studied and luminescence decay time dependence on average powder-grain size was obtained. The correlation between self-trapped exciton luminescence decay time and photocatalytic activity of ZnWO4 powders was shown. A model explaining the excitonic luminescence decay time correlation with photocatalytic activity was proposed.

Eu3+-doped CaZrO3 phosphor with perovskite-type structure was synthesized by the high temperature solid-state method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, fluorescence spectrophotometer and UV-vis spectrophotometer, respectively. XRD analysis showed that the formation of CaZrO3 was at the calcinations temperature of 1400°C. The average diameter of CaZrO3 with 4 mol% doped-Eu3+ was 2µm. The PL spectra demonstrated that CaZrO3:Eu3+ phosphor could be excited effectively in the near ultraviolet light region (397 nm) and emitted strong red-emission lines at 616 nm corresponding to the forced electric dipole 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transitions of Eu3+. Meanwhile, the light-emitting diode was fabricated with the Ca0.96ZrO3:Eu0.043+ phosphor, which can efficiently absorb ∼ 400 nm irradiation and emit red light. Therefore Ca0.96ZrO3:Eu0.043+ may have applications for a near ultraviolet InGaN chip-based white light-emitting diode.

This paper compares the luminescence of different modifications of silicon dioxide - silica glass, α-quartz crystal and dense octahedron structured stishovite crystal. Under x-ray irradiation of pure silica glass and pure α-quartz crystal, only the luminescence of self-trapped exciton (STE) is detected, excitable only in the range of intrinsic absorption. No STE luminescence was detected in stishovite since, even though its luminescence is excitable below the optical gap, it could not be ascribed to a self-trapped exciton. Under ArF laser excitation of pure α-quartz crystal, luminescence of a self-trapped exciton was detected under two-photon excitation. In silica glass and stishovite mono crystal, we spectrally detected mutually similar luminescences under single-photon excitation of ArF laser. In silica glass, the luminescence of an oxygen deficient center is presented by the so-called twofold coordinated silicon center (L.N. Skuja et al., Solid State Commun. 50, 1069 (1984)). This center is modified with an unknown surrounding or localized states of silica glass (A.N. Trukhin et al., J. Non-Cryst. Solids 248, 40 (1999)). In stishovite, that same luminescence was ascribed to some defect existing after crystal growth. For α-quartz crystal, similar to silica and stishovite, luminescence could be obtained only by irradiation with a lattice damaging source such as a dense electron beam at a temperature below 80 K, as well as by neutron or -irradiation at 290 K. In spite of a similarity in the luminescence of these three materials (silica glass, stishovite mono crystal and irradiated α-quartz crystal), there are differences that can be explained by the specific characteristics of these materials. In particular, the nature of luminescence excited in the transparency range of stishovite is ascribed to a defect existing in the crystal after-growth. A similarity between stishovite luminescence and that of oxygen-deficient silica glass and radiation induced luminescence of α-quartz crystal presumes a similar nature of the centers in those materials.

Europium-doped barium aluminate (BaAlxOy:Eu2+) phosphors were obtained at low temperatures (500°C) using the solution - combustion of corresponding metal nitrate-urea solution mixtures. The particle size and morphology and the structural and luminescent properties of the synthesized phosphors were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron diffraction spectroscopy (EDS) and photoluminescence (PL). It was found that the change in Ba: Al molar ratios showed greatly influence not only on the particle size and morphology, but also on their PL spectra and crystalline structure. The structure of BaAlxOy nanophosphors changes from a hexagonal Ba2Al10O17 phase for samples with 6:100 molar ratios to a hexagonal BaAl2O4 one with an increase in Ba content. The peak of the emission band occurs at a longer wavelength (around 615 nm) with a decrease in Ba concentration but displays a broad blue-green emission band composed from two emissions with the maximum at 495 and 530nm coming from Eu2+ in two sites for increasing Ba content. The blue-green emission is probably due to the influence of 5d electron states of Eu2+ in the crystal field because of atomic size variation causing crystal defects while the red emission is due to f - f transitions. These findings clearly demonstrate the possibility of fine tuning the colour emission.

The photoluminescence spectra and luminescence excitation spectra of pure microcrystalline and nano-sized ZnWO4 as well as the ZnxNi1−x WO4 solid solutions were studied using vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) synchrotron radiation. The samples were also characterized by x-ray powder diffraction. We found that: (i) the shape of the photoluminescence band at 2.5 eV, being due to radiative electron transitions within the [WO6]6− anions, becomes modulated by the optical absorption of Ni2+ ions in the ZnxNi1−x WO4 solid solutions; and (ii) no significant change in the excitation spectra of Zn0.9Ni0.1WO4 is observed compared to pure ZnWO4. At the same time, a shift of the excitonic bands to smaller energies and a set of peaks, attributed to the one-electron transitions from the top of the valence band to quasi-localized states, were observed in the excitation spectrum of nano-sized ZnWO4.

Infrared (IR) absorption and luminescence in chemically and radiation-modified natural Armenian Zeolite (clinoptilolite) samples have been studied. The luminescence was studied in 390–450 nm and 620–710 nm wavelength bands, and the IR measurements were carried out in the 400–5400 cm−1 range. It is shown that the luminescence intensity depends on the content of pure clinoptilolite in the samples and, probably on the distribution of “passive” luminescence centers over Si and Al sites that became “active” under radiation or chemical treatment. The samples of electron irradiated clinoptilolite have higher luminescence intensity than the chemically and thermally treated ones. A decrease in the intensity of IR absorption bands at 3550 cm−1 and 3650 cm−1 was found after irradiation.

One of criteria suggesting impact origin may be recognition of extraterrestrial matter inside or around suspected cavities. In case of Morasko some dating results throw doubt on link between craters and meteorites. Conclusion of some past research papers was that cavities were formed about 5 ka BP (e.g. palynological investigation, luminescence dating), while more or less facts testify fall in the Middle Ages (e.g. “young” charcoal pieces in crust of meteorites or shrapnel stuck in the roots of old tree). In this paper we perform comprehensive analysis of each result and check if there exists alternative explanation. During past palynological investigation, there were examined two craters. It was concluded that beginning of accumulation of sediments in smaller cavity started 5500–5000 BP. However, pollen spectrum for largest basin was different suggesting younger age. The problem is that according to bathymetric maps, samples could be collected from inner uplift (similar feature was observed inside Porzadzie and Jaszczulty, unconfirmed impact structures yet). If we compare profiles from craters with recent research (palynological study supported by radiocarbon dating) on sediments in Lake Strzeszynskie (6 km SW from Morasko) pollen spectrum seems to be similar more to results dated to <1000 BP. Especially percentage of non-arboreal pollen for both examined Morasko craters is much higher (5 times greater than it was for layer dated to 5 ka BP in Lake Strzeszynskie). Possibility of short disturbance (related to impact) cannot be excluded, but in such case any time of event should be taken into account. For small lakes (like those filling the craters) also local conditions could play important role. Analysis of luminescence dating may also discuss past conclusions. OSL method applied for samples taken from the thin layer of sand in the bottom of largest structure (under 3,9 m of organic sediments filling the crater) suggested age 5–10 ka BP for 24 aliquots. Same number of samples (24) revealed age 0–5 ka BP (13 samples with age <3 ka BP including several younger than 1 ka BP). Older dates can be explained by partial or even no zeroing, but last contact with light (zeroing signal) of sand grains (excavated from depth of almost 4 meters under organic matter) seems that might occur only during (or shortly after) the impact. It is difficult to find convincing arguments, which can undermine initial radiocarbon dating giving age <1 ka BP for 7 of 9 samples taken from the bottom layer of organic sediments from three Morasko craters. Same issue may exist with small charcoal pieces with age <2 ka BP (and several dated to ~700 BP) discovered deep in sinter-weathering crust of meteorites. Study of charcoal particles excluded their origin during post-sedimentary processes (like forest fire) unless meteorite fragments were laying directly on the surface for period between impact and wildfire (surviving whole time inhospitable climate conditions). There are two other possible explanations of charcoals. Either they were present at location as a result of past forest fire or they were produced during impact. However, similar small charcoal pieces were discovered around many craters (Kaali, Ilumetsa, Campo del Cielo, Whitecourt) and they were successfully used to estimate maximum age of those structures. During second stage of 14C dating the age obtained from three samples (taken few centimeters above the mineral bottom) was estimated ~5 ka BP. Looking for answer why these results are so different from previous once there may be mentioned at least two options. Lake sediments is difficult matter for radiocarbon dating and results may be hundreds or even thousands years older than real age. Second explanation may be that older matter (remnant of trees, paleosoil etc.), distributed around craters during impact, could be displaced by wind, rain, erosion and trapped in the bottom of cavities. The argument, which may be also against hypothesis of impact ~5 ka BP is meteorite shrapnel stuck in the roots of old tree. Result of expertise showed, that there exists mechanical damage in the wood and the only possible explanation is that meteorite has hit living tree. Maximum age, that this type of wood may preserve (inside building) is 1,8 ka while in natural environment not more than 500 years. Anyway some further examinations should be performed. The age obtained during AMS 14C dating of 2 samples from thin layer of paleosoil, discovered under overturned flap around largest Morasko crater, was ~5 ka BP. Observation that preserved layer of paleosoil is approximately 3 times thinner than thickness of modern soil may lead to conclusion that during impact top (younger) layer of organic sediments was removed and only older part “survived” in few locations close to the rim. The conclusion of the research was that dating provides maximum age of the impact (which does not exclude much younger impact <1 ka BP) so could be considered as right explanation of past discrepancies.
