Tunable optical properties and DFT calculations of RE3þcodoped LaBO3 phosphors

2019-12-01
In this study, single phase DyxLa1-xBO3, DyxCeyLa1-x-yBO3, DyxEuyLa1-x-yBO3, and TbxCeyLa1-x-yBO3 phosphors were successfully synthesized through the microwave assisted solid state method with urea. Synthesized com-pounds were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscope, and Fluorescence spectroscopy. Thermal stabilities of the phosphors were studied with temperature dependent fluorescence measurements. In addition, density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate preferential Dy3þion doping sites in LaBO3 lattice. The findings of the study revealed over ten times increase in the emission intensities of phosphors were observed with Ce3þcodoping. The highest luminescence intensities were recorded for Dy0.09Ce0.05La0.86BO3 and Tb0.07Ce0.05La0.88BO3 phosphors. Furthermore, energy transfers were supported by luminescence lifetime measurements. Temperature dependent fluorescence mea-surements showed their thermal stabilities. According to the CIE 1931 color space, the colors of the Dy3þonly doped, Ce3þ/Dy3þ; Ce3þ/Tb3þand Dy3þ/Eu3þcodoped phosphors were determined as off-white, white, green and yellow-orange, respectively. Intensities of the bands and the colors of the phosphors can be tuned with the choice of codopant ions or with adjustments in their concentration ratio.

LANTHANUM DOPED DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE MIXED WITH GRAPHENE OXIDE BONE CEMENTS AS A POTENTIAL MATERIAL IN BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS
Motameni, Ali; Evis, Zafer; -, -; Department of Engineering Sciences (2021-9-06)
In this thesis, mesoporous particles of β-tricalcium phosphate (βTCP, βCa3(PO4)2) and lanthanum (La) doped βTCP were synthesized by wet precipitation method attached with a microwave refluxing system. Pure dicalcium phosphate (DCP) and La modified dicalcium phosphate (La-DCP) bone cements were prepared based on acid/base reaction between βTCP (or La- βTCP) and monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM) in the presence of water. DCP bone cements were also mixed with 1.5-3.5wt.% of graphene oxide (GO). The obta...

Col-2xNixMnxFe2O4 (0.0 <= x <= 0.5) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared via citrate assisted microwave combustion route. XRD analysis confirmed the cubic structure (spinel) of all samples. Average crystallite size of products (obtained from (311) diffraction line) was in the range of 32.9-43.4 nm. The intense peak appearing at around 531 cm(-1) in FT-IR was attributed to the formation of a spinel ferrite. Magnetic properties of the products were investigated by room temperature vibrating sample magnetometer a...
Microwave extraction of phenolic compounds from caper and oleaster
Durmaz, Ezgi; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2012)
The main objective of this study was to extract phenolic compounds from caper and oleaster by using microwave. The effects of microwave power (400 and 700 W), extraction time (5-20 min), solid to solvent ratio (1:10, 1:20 and 1:30) and solvent type (water, ethanol and different ratios of ethanol-water mixture) on total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and concentration of the phenolic compounds in the extracts were investigated. In conventional extraction, extraction time and solvent type were used as...
Thin-film transistors based on poly, (3,3 '''-dialkyl-quarterthiophene) and zinc oxide nanowires with improved ambient stability
Vieira, Sara M. C.; Hsieh, Gen-Wen; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Dag, Sefa; Amaratunga, Gehan A. J.; Milne, William I. (AIP Publishing, 2011-03-07)
The ambient stability of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires embedded in poly (3,3'''-dialkyl-quarterthiophene) was monitored through time dependence of electrical characteristics over a period of 16 months. The hybrid-based TFT showed an initial hole mobility in the linear regime of 4.2 x 10(-4) cm(2)/V s. After 16 months storage in ambient conditions (exposed to air, moisture, and light) the mobility decreased to 2.3 x 10(-5) cm(2)/V s. Comparatively the organic-based TFT lost...
