Photoluminescence of a CVD Diamond Excited with VUV Light from a Synchrotron
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) beam line of a synchrotron, an end station for photoluminescence (PL) coupled to a system to detect absorption is used to investigate the luminescence and absorption of materials. We analyzed a CVD diamond window in wavelength range 160 250 nm at 300 and 14 K. The PL excited with VUV light enabled an identification of nitrogen defects in diamond samples. The VUV PL technique is applicable to explore advanced materials including materials with similar wide band gaps, such as boron nitride and aluminum nitride.

Interference effects in the UV(VUV)-excited luminescence spectroscopy of thin dielectric films.
The problem of exciting UV and VUV light interference affecting experimental photoluminescence excitation spectra is analysed for the case of thin transparent films containing arbitrarily distributed emission centres. A numerical technique and supplied software aimed at modelling the phenomenon and correcting the distorted spectra are proposed. Successful restoration results of the experimental...

Polycrystalline diamond synthesized using the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique can be used to fabricate new types of photodetectors for the characterization of X-ray light in synchrotron beamlines. Since diamond exhibits a low absorption to low-energy photons, such devices allow beam-position monitoring with very little beam attenuation at photon energies as low as 2 keV up to 15-20 k...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence and electronic transitions in cubic silicon nitride.
A spectroscopic study of cubic silicon nitride (γ-Si3N4) at cryogenic temperatures of 8 K in the near IR - VUV range of spectra with synchrotron radiation excitation provided the first experimental evidence of direct electronic transitions in this material. The observed photoluminescence (PL) bands were assigned to excitons and excited and centers formed after the electron capture by neutral st...

A new bending-magnet beamline with a 2.5 m normal-incidence monochromator has been constructed to serve with a light source in the visible-vacuum-ultraviolet region for photoluminescence, transmission and reflection spectroscopies of solids at the UVSOR-III 750 MeV synchrotron radiation light source. The aim is to pave the way to establishing a beamline with high photon flux, high brilliance, h...
متن کاملSynthesis of Nanosized Luminescent Materials and Their Photoluminescence under VUV Excitation
Photoluminescence (PL) phosphor can be divided into different types according to the different excitation wavelengths, and they have different applications. The region from 100 to 200 nm is the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region and the phosphors excited by VUV light are usually used for plasma display panels (PDPs) and Hg-free lamps.1 Nowadays, the PDP and liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) are the t...
