Al NMR structural study on aluminum coordination state in bismuth doped silica glass
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aluminum coordination state in bismuth doped silica glass, which has new broad infrared emission at 1.3 lm regions, was investigated by using Al NMR, and it is demonstrated that 6-fold coordinated aluminum ions with corundum structure are dominant in bismuth doped silica glass until Bi2O3 concentrations of 1.0 mol% with Al2O3. The aluminum ion efficiently affects the creation of a Bi luminescent center at an intensity of Bi2O3 (1.0 mol%)–Al2O3 (2.3 mol%)–SiO2 (96.7 mol%); the sample is three orders of magnitude larger than the Bi2O3 (1.0 mol%)–SiO2 (99.0 mol%) sample. Aluminum ions with corundum structure in silica glass have a very important role for the configuration of peculiar Bi luminescent centers. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملAbnormal behavior of silica doped with small amounts of aluminum
Silica is the most abundant mineral in the crust of the Earth. It has been demonstrated that the aluminum concentration in silica plays a key role in determining many properties of silica-based components. Although the alumina-silica system has been intensely studied, the effect of very small amounts of aluminum on the structure and properties of silica remains unclear. We report results of fir...

Significantly enhanced superbroadband near infrared emission has been realized in bismuth/aluminum doped high-silica zeolite derived nanoparticles. The emission intensity can be easily tailored by the introduction of aluminum. The luminescence lifetime can reach up to 695 micros. The results reveal that the existence of charge imbalance environment caused by [AlOV(4/2)](-) units in host materia...

We report on the optical spectroscopy of monolithic fiber preform prepared from nanoporous bismuth-doped silica glass. The experiments reveal the existence of at least two different types of active centers and clearly demonstrate that the presence in the glass matrix of other dopant is not necessary to obtain the near-IR photoluminescence connected to Bismuth.
