Structural, photo, optical and thermal luminescent properties of beta barium metaborate

2020-07-15
Barium borate compounds (BaB4O7-beta-BaB2O4) were produced by different synthesis methods, which include solution assisted solid state synthesis method (SAS), microwave assisted solid state synthesis method (MAS) and high temperature solid state synthesis method (HTS). These different synthesis methods were carried out in air atmosphere (AA) and nitrogen atmosphere (NA). Luminescence emission spectra of barium borate compounds exhibited a broad band around 400 nm (similar to 310 nm excitation). X- ray induced luminescence measurements have shown a similar emission band, supporting the PL measurements. Photoluminescence decay curve of beta-BaB2O4 compound (excited with 365 nm) is well fitted with a double exponential function with lifetimes tau(1) = 3, 69 ms and tau(2) = 29, 45 ms. At around 365 nm, Quantum Efficiency (QE) of the luminescence emission from beta-BaB2O4 was calculated as 8 +/- 1 percent. In order to test the possibility of using in radiation dosimetry, Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) properties of beta-BaB2O4 were investigated by determining radiation dose response, fading and repeatability of response. The OSL signal intensity was observed to increase linearly with increasing beta dose from 5 Gy to 1000 Gy. Thermoluminescence (TL) glow curve of beta-BaB2O4 phosphor consist of broad glow peak with an apparent maximum at around 240 degrees C; which is also growing with radiation dose. The results presented here are of preliminary in nature and for a better understanding of the luminescence properties of beta-BaB2O4 deserves more attention with possible applications as a phosphor and optical and dosimeter material.

Karabıçak, Seher; Kızılyallı, Meral; Department of Chemistry (2004)
The hydrothermal and solid state methods were used in the synthesis of some aluminoborophosphate compounds. The products were investigated by using XRD, IR, DTA, DSC, ICP and SEM methods. The solid state reactions have been studied in the range 700 ا 1200?C. Using several hydrothermal methods a novel aluminum phosphate compound Al3-xBxP3O12 was synthesized. The crystal system was found to be tetragonal with a=17.1629 and c = 12.6084A° unit cell parameters and space group is P4212 (No:90). In anorthite miner...
Structural and mechanical investigations of magnesium and fluoride doped nanosize calcium phosphates
Evis, Zafer (2010-12-01)
Pure and Mg2+ and F doped nano-calcium phosphates (CaP), which were synthesized by a precipitation method to investigate their microstructural and mechanical properties. After the drying and calcination processes, the samples were sintered at 1100 degrees C for 1 hour. High densities were achieved except for the 7.5% mole Mg doped samples. Due to the Mg2+ substitution, beta-TCP phase was detected besides HAp, resulting in the formation of HAp/ beta-TCP biphasic composites with different compositions. The su...

Calisir, Emine Deniz; Erkoç, Şakir (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2006-08-01)
The structural, vibrational, electronic and QSAR properties of the dipropyl sulfide (DPS) molecule in gas phase have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital (AM1 and PM3), ab initio (RHF) and density functional theory calculations. The geometry of the molecule has been optimized, infrared spectrum (vibrational modes and intensities) and the electronic properties of the molecule have been calculated in its ground state. It has been found that DPS molecule kinetically ma...
