摘要:
The spectroscopic properties of the Bi3+ ion as a function of its concentration is examined to clarify the nature of optical transitions that are responsible for the ultraviolet (333 nm) and visible emission of GdAlO3:Bi3+. The UV band which is characterized by small Stokes shift (0.52 eV) is ascribed to emission from isolated Bi3+ ions (P-3(0.1) -> S-1(0) transition). The peak emission wavelength and the width of the visible band depend on the Bi3+ concentration. This emission is ascribed to pairs or cluster of Bi3+ ions in the perovskite lattice. The spectroscopic properties of the pair emission in GdAlO3 are contrasted with the impurity trapped excitonic emission in CaSnO3. A comparative study of the behavior of Bi3+ luminescence in a series of materials with the orthorhombic perovskite structure is presented. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.
