Controlled Synthesis and Luminescent Properties of Erbium Silicate Nanostructures

Abstract: Erbium silicate (Er2SiO5 and Er4Si3O12) nanostructures were successfully synthesized by a facile molten-salt approach in the presence of NaCI and surfactant. The synthesized products were structurally and morphologically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), whereas the luminescent properties were characterized by temperature-dependent luminescence measurements. The resu… Show more

“…The sample of K 2 [Al(B 5 O 10 )]·4H 2 O:Eu 3+ was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route referring to literature except for 9 mol % Eu 2 O 3 being added, and all reagents and solvents employed in the synthesis were commercially available and without further purification. The obtained sample was washed with distilled water and absolute alcohol several times, and then dried at 40 °C for 24 h for further characterization.…”

“…1 The identity and associated properties of the oxide host play a significant role in the observed properties of the erbium impurity phase. 2 Among possible host materials for Er 3+ centers, germanium-containing glasses are attractive because of their low transmission loss in the infrared region and outstanding mechanical strength, high thermal stability, as well as higher refractive index. 3 For the case of nanofibers/ nanowires, earlier work has established the superiority of germanium oxide over silicon (oxide) in terms of Er 3+ near-IR emission intensity (for a given rare earth concentration); 4 a similar trend is observed for the case of the corresponding elemental semiconductors (Ge and Si) as well.…”

“…Er-doped nanostructures have been extensively studied due to optical intra-4f transitions at 1.54 μm ( 4 I 13/2 → 4 I 15/2 ), an important telecommunication wavelength since standard silica-based optical fibers have their maximum transparency at this wavelength .
