X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of Sr2Al2SiO7:Ce^3+, Tb^3+. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observation indicated that the microstructure of the phosphor consisted of regular fine grains with an average size of about 0.5-1 μm. Luminescence properties were analyzed by measuring the photoluminescence spectra. The Ce^3+, Tb^3+-codoped Sr2Al2SiO7 phosphors showed four main emission peaks: one at 414 nm for Ce^3+ and three at 482, 543, and 588 nm for Tb^3+. The emission spectra of the samples with different doping concentrations showed that the Tb^3+ emission was dominant because of the persistent energy transfer from Ce^3+. The decay characteristic was better than that prepared by the solid-state process in the comparable condition. The codoped phosphor displayed long persistent white phosphorescence.展开更多

Samples were analyzed by a variety of techniques, including X-ray diffraction, FTIR, absorption and emission spectrometers to report the capability of Sol-Gel technology on preparing of silica monolith as a host material for Olive oil, and investigate the effect of converting Olive oil to a solid state on its optical properties. Some absorption bands of Olive oil are disappearing from absorption spectrum of doped silica. Only single strong fluorescence peak was appearing in fluorescence spectrum of pure Olive oil at wavelength around 678 nm which attributed to chlorophylls, while fluorescence spectrum to doped sample shows two strong fluorescence peaks at the wavelength 681 nm and 585 nm which attributed to chlorophylls and Vitamin E respectively. The doping process enhances fluorescence activity of Olive oil through enhancing intensity of the fluorescence peak corresponding to Vitamin E. Absorption and fluorescence spectrums to doped silica sample give a good indication in direction of using Sol-Gel technique to prepare?for Olive oil doped SiO2 as an optical active material.展开更多

Characterization of the product was carried out by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface areas, Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. Thermal phase transformation studies of composite were carried out up to 1100°C which showed the establishment of anatase TiO2 phase. The presence of some tetrahedral coordination of TiO2 species in SiO2 matrix was confirmed by UV-Vis study. The produced TiO2/SiO2 nanocomposite has good photocatalytic properties due to its anatase phase, existence of tetrahedral coordination of TiO2 in the SiO2 matrix and very large surface area. Furthermore, the synthesized anatase/SiO2 shows significant adsorption ability towards Congo Red (CR) azo dye in comparison with the pure commercial TiO2 which is known as Degussa, P25.展开更多
