In this paper, we investigate the frequency response range of this novel detection technology by simulating the motion of carriers in gallium arsenide（GaAs） by the ensemble Monte Carlo method. At room temperature, for a direct-current（DC） voltage of 20 kV/cm applied to the semiconductor（GaAs） and sampling time o140 fs, the luminescence quenching phenomena induced by terahertz pulses with different center frequencies are studied The results show that the quenching efficiency is independent of the THz frequency when the frequency is in a range o0.1 THz–4 THz. However, when the frequency exceeds 4 THz, the efficiency decreases with the increase of frequency Therefore, the frequency response range is 0.1 THz–4 THz. Moreover, when the sampling time is changed to 100 fs the frequency response range is extended to be approximately 0.1 THz–5.6 THz. This study of the frequency-dependen characteristics of the luminescence response to the THz pulse can provide a theoretical basis for the exploration of THz detection technology.展开更多

The structure and morphology of these BST nanocrystals were studied using X-ray diffraction（XRD）, field emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM） and transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all the nanocrystals prepared in the study correspond to polycrystalline perovskite BST structure. The blue and green upconversion luminescence properties of Er^3＋ doped BST nanocrystals were investigated under excitation by a 785-nm laser. The upconversion emission bands centered at 407, 523, and 547 nm can be attributed to ^2H9/2, ^4I15/2, ^2H11/2, ^4I15/2, and ^4S3/2, 4I15/2 transitions of Er^3＋ ion, respectively. The upconversion mechanism was studied in detail, based on the laser power dependence of the upconverted emissions. In addition, we examined the dependence of the intensity of green upconverted luminescence on the doping concentration of Er^3＋ ions, and discussed the mechanism underlying the process.展开更多

The respirometer is based on luminescence quenching by molecular oxygen. The oxygen sensing film consists of luminescent ruthenium complex adsorbed on amorphous fumed silica and immobilized inside silicone rubber. The luminescence intensity depends on the oxygen concentration of sample in contact with sensing film. The inhibition effect of heavy metals on the respiration rate of microorganisms can be evaluated by monitoring the luminescence intensity of the sensing film. The toxicity of Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cr 3+ , Pb 2+ and Hg 2+ on activated sludge was tested using the respirometer. The results indicated that the proposed method was sensitive to the heavy metals tested in this experiment. It was feasible to use the respirometer for microbial toxicity tests.展开更多

All the samples emitted both 660 nm red light and 543/523 nm green light which originated from Er^3＋-4f^n electronic transitions ~4F（9/2-~4I（15/2 and ~4S（3/2/~2H（11/2-~4I（15/2, respectively. It was worth mentioning that YbF 3：Er^3＋, Ba2 YbF7：Er^3＋, and BaF2：Er^3＋ could emit dazzlingly bright light even under the excitation of a 980 nm CW laser with output power of 0.1 W. Upconversion emission mechanism analysis indicated that the intensity ratio of red to green light highly depended on the synergistic effect of crystal structure, concentration quenching, and particle size, but were not sensitive to crystallinity as previously reported for NaL nF4（Ln=lanthanide.展开更多

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that Cd L displays a three-dimensional framework with 2-fold interpenetration and DMF molecules locate in the void space of the channels. A topological analysis of the framework indicates Cd Lisa 3,4-connected pto net. The photoluminescence properties of Cd L are systematically studied in detail. Impressively, Cd L shows excellent detection performance towards Fe^（3＋）ion and acetone in the sensing experiments, which undoubtedly demonstrates the great potential of Cd L as a highly selective multi-responsive luminescent sensor for the detection of organic solvents and metal ions.展开更多

The emission intensities of SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ are influenced by Sm3+ concentration, and the concentration quenching effect of SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ is also observed. When doping A+(A=Li, Na and K) ions, the emission intensity of SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ can be obviously enhanced. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE) color coordinates of SrZn2(PO4)2:Sm3+ locate in the orange-red region.
