Anti-Stokes luminescence in nitrogen doped GaAs1−xPx alloys

چکیده
In indirect band gap GaAs1−xPx alloys, the Nx levels of the excitons bound to nitrogen have been resonantly excited. The detection of the photoluminescence (PL) at energies greater than the excitation energy (Anti-Stokes Luminescence (ASL)) shows a new PL band which appears at temperatures lower than 40 K. Its mean energy 2.205 eV is nearly independent of the alloy composition. We investigate ASL as a function of excitation photon energy, excitation power and temperature. Moreover ASL has been time

Synthesis and Applications of Lanthanide-Doped Nanocrystals
In recent years, Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped nanocrystals have become promising alternatives to organic fluorophore because Ln3+ ions can exhibit unique luminescent properties, such as large anti-Stokes shifts, low auto fluorescence background, low toxicity and high penetration depth [1]. In terms of the mechanism of luminescence, luminescence of Ln3+ ions can be divided into down-conversion and up...
متن کاملAnti-Stokes luminescence cooling of Tm3+ doped BaY2F8.
We report laser-induced cooling with thulium-doped BaY2F8 single crystals grown using the Czochralski technique. The spectroscopic characterization of the crystals has been used to evaluate the laser cooling performance of the samples. Cooling by 3 degrees below ambient temperature is obtained in a single-pass geometry with 4.4 Watts of pump laser power at lambda = 1855 nm.
متن کاملThe electronic and optical properties of quaternary GaAs1-x-y N x Bi y alloy lattice-matched to GaAs: a first-principles study
First-principles calculations based on density functional theory have been performed for the quaternary GaAs1-x-y N x Bi y alloy lattice-matched to GaAs. Using the state-of-the-art computational method with the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional, electronic, and optical properties were obtained, including band structures, density of states (DOSs), dielectric function, absorption co...
متن کاملControlling upconversion nanocrystals for emerging applications.
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanocrystals enable anti-Stokes emission with pump intensities several orders of magnitude lower than required by conventional nonlinear optical techniques. Their exceptional properties, namely large anti-Stokes shifts, sharp emission spectra and long excited-state lifetimes, have led to a diversity of applications. Here, we review upconversion nanocrystals from th...
متن کاملNon-blinking and photostable upconverted luminescence from single lanthanide-doped nanocrystals.
The development of probes for single-molecule imaging has dramatically facilitated the study of individual molecules in cells and other complex environments. Single-molecule probes ideally exhibit good brightness, uninterrupted emission, resistance to photobleaching, and minimal spectral overlap with cellular autofluorescence. However, most single-molecule probes are imperfect in several of the...
