Optical properties and transformation mechanism of oxygen centres and their aggregates in CaF2 crystals

چکیده
Oxygen-vacancy dipoles and dimers in CaF2 crystals have been studied ab initio at DFT level and with the shell model using pair potentials. The calculated dipole reorientation barrier is 0.64 eV and the activation energy for diffusion of the dipoles is 1.61 eV. Optical absorption of O2--VA dipole have been calculated with TD DFT and identified with experimental absorption bands, which appeared to have complex structure. The photodissociation mechanism of the dipole is discussed. Several configurations of the dimer (O2--VA)2 were calculated. The association energy for the most favourable one is 0.48 eV.

Luminescence Properties of Oxyfluoride Glass and Glass Ceramic Doped with Y3 + Ions
Oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing CaF2nano-crystals doped with Y3+ ions were prepared by one-step crystallization of SiO2- Al2O3- CaO- CaF2 glasses at different temperatures. X- ray diffraction (XRD) results have revealed that CaF2 was the only precipitated crystalline phase in glass ceramic samples. According to the XRD results, a glass ceramic was selected as the best sample in order to ...

With tunable dye laser (620-660 nm) excitation, the site-selective upconversion properties of 0.1 mole% Ho3+ doped CaF2, SrF2 and CdF2 monocrystals were studied at 77K. Three distinct luminescence centres (C4,,, C3v and cluster) were identified for both CaF2 and SrF2 crystals, whereas only one cluster centre was detected for CdF2. The upconversion mechanism for the isolated H O ~ + single site ...
