LnBO3 are notable host materials to doped with Rare Earth Element (REE) to achieve strong luminescence. Therefore, it attracts great attention of scientist for many decades with promising applications in many field such as affordable Light Emitting diode (LED) devices. This research covers the synthesis of undoped lanthanum, gadolinium, and yttrium orthoborates and dysprosium, terbium and samarium ions doped LnBO3 (Ln: La, Gd, Y) by microwave assisted solid state synthesis method to investigate the effect of changing concentration and identity of ions on their photoluminescence properties. Microwave assisted solid state synthesis method has various advantages such as reducing energy consumption with decreasing heating duration and producing fine powders. The samples were synthesized by heating mixtures of precursor solid reactants in microwave oven at 1200 W for ten minutes and heating them at 950° C for 2 hours in muffle furnace. For characterization of powder samples X-ray diffraction were used. The morphological properties of undoped and rare earth ions doped the samples were examined by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Moreover, Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) spectrometry were done to identify vibrational modes of anionic groups. Far-IR spectrometry were employed for detecting low frequency modes. Fluorescence spectroscopy were employed for finding the luminescence characteristics of products. The XRD patterns demonstrate that undoped and doped LnBO3 powder samples were synthesized successfully with microwave assisted solid state method. From the XRD patterns, it is observed that added doping materials do not disturb the hosts’ structure. SEM images of undoped and doped LnBO3 powders show a fine particle with regular morphology. As results, doping with Dy3+, Sm3+, Tb3+ ions did not affect the crystallinity and morphology of LnBO3. ATR results demonstrated that the presence of planar BO33- units in LaBO3 whereas tetrahedral B3O99- ring containing planar BO33- and tetrahedral BO45- units in GdBO3 and YBO3. Far-IR results illustrate low frequency vibrational modes of LnBO3. The differences in the observed vibrational modes of doped and undoped LnBO3 help on identification of doping characteristics as interstitial or substitutional. Luminescence studies showed that 5.30% Dy doped LaBO3 samples gives rise to the most intensive emission among all the samples prepared. International Commission on Illumination (CIE) studies show that Dy doped LnBO3 samples give pale yellow, Sm doped LnBO3 samples give orange color and Tb doped LnBO3 samples give green color.

Hydrothermal synthesis of rare earth ions doped LaBO3 and GdBO3 and their photoluminescence properties Vahed Qaramaleki, Saeed; Üner, Deniz; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Chemical Engineering (2016) Within the scope of this research project three different rare earth elements such as Dysprosium (Dy), Terbium (Tb) and Samarium (Sm) have been doped inside two different host material namely LaBO3 and GdBO3 orthoborates. The preparation of materials were conducted at low temperature by hydrothermal synthesis method. After preparing the solution of precursors it has been placed into a well-sealed Teflon lined autoclave and maintained in 200 ˚C inside a furnace for 24 hours. The obtained powder was then wash...
Energy transfer and stimulated emission dynamics at 1.1 mu m in Nd-doped SiNx Li, Rui; Yerci, Selçuk; Kucheyev, Sergei O.; van Buuren, Tony; Dal Negro, Luca (2011-03-14) Neodymium (Nd) doped amorphous silicon nitride films with various Si concentrations (Nd:SiNx) were fabricated by reactive magnetron co-sputtering followed by thermal annealing. The time dynamics of the energy transfer in Nd:SiNx was investigated, a systematic optimization of its 1.1 mu m emission was performed, and the Nd excitation cross section in SiNx was measured. An active Nd:SiNx micro-disk resonator was fabricated and enhanced radiation rate at 1.1 mu m was demonstrated due to stimulated emission at ...
Hygro-Thermal, Hydric, and Mechanical Properties of Fibre and Aggregate Reinforced Earth Plasters Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Pedergnana, Matthieu (2021-07-01) Earth plasters have been used as a protective coating for buildings but, due to their low strength and low resistance to weather conditions, they have been abandoned for more resistant materials which in return lack vapour permeability. Earth plasters have usually a high moisture sorption rate, and their water vapour permeability is high, allowing the transfer of humidity through the material. These properties make them an interesting material for controlling vapour movement in humid rooms. Improving...
Production of rare earth ferrosilicide alloy Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Geveci, Ahmet (2006-08-31) Rare earth ferrosilicide is a versatile alloy mainly used to control the detrimental effects of sulfur in steel and to modify graphite structures in cast iron.
Solid State Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Sodium Rare Earth Phosphates Seyyidoglu, Semih; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Kizilyalli, Meral; Yılmaz, Ayşen (2005-01-01) Recently, much attention has been paid to the rare earth phosphates because of their potential applications for optical materials, including laser, phosphors, and more recently, anti-UV materials [1]. MOPO4 type materials possess properties that make them potentially useful for catalytic, electronic and ion exchange applications[2]. In this work, Ln2O3 (where Ln= La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb) were used as a rare earth source, NH4H2PO4 was used as a phosphate source and Na2CO3 was used as a sodium sour...
