The perovskite materials with ID and 2D shapes were widely prepared and studied for Fabry-Perot mode and whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microcavities, but cuboid-shape is rarely reported. In this work, we successfully fabricated single crystal cuboid-shaped MAPbBr3 perovskite w让h different morphologies, named microcuboid-MAPbBr3 (M-MAPbBr3) and multi-step-MAPbBr3 (MSMAPbBr3), via solvothermal method. Furthermore, the as-prepared *crystals excitonic recombination lifetime under different pumping energy density was studied by time-resolved photoiuminescence (TRPL). Based on controllable morphology and remarkable lasing properties, these cuboid shaped single crystal perovskite could be a promising candidate for small laser, and other optoelectronic devices.展开更多

The reaction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results show that the hexagonaq platelets are fine, monodisperse and consisting of single-crystals. The magnetic hysteresis (M-H) curvel of the samples measured at room temperature indicates that the α-Fe2O3 micro-platelets exhibit ferromagnetic behaviors with relatively low coercivity.展开更多

文摘Er^(3+)and Yb^(3+)co-doped CaBi_(2)Ta_(2)O_(9)(CBT)-based bismuth layered-structure oxides were synthesized by a simple solid-state reaction method.Their up-conversion(UC)luminescence,dielectric and ferroelectric properties were investigated.Two strong green emission bands centered at 526 and 547nm and a weak red emission band centered at 658nm were obtained under a 980nm laser excitation at room temperature.These emission bands originated from the radiative relaxation of Er^(3+)from 2H_(11)=2,4S_(3)=2,and 4F_(9/2) levels to the ground state 4I_(15)=2,respectively.At the meantime,the fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR)variation of two green UC emissions at 526 and 547nm has been studied as a function of temperature in the range of 153–603K.The maximum sensor sensitivity obtained was 39×10^(-4)K^(-1) at 590K,which indicated that Er^(3+)=Yb^(3+)co-doped CBT ceramic is a promising candidate for applications in optical high temperature sensor.

文摘Photo-stimuli responsive materials show great potential in the fields of information encryption and storage due to their distinctive spatial or temporal color changes.However,the conventional single or multi-color static outputs by light stimulus difficulty meet practical requirements for high-security optical storage technologies.Here,a novel dynamic irradiation-responsive phosphor of Na_(2)Ba_(2)Si_(2)O_(7):Eu is demonstrated,exhibiting high storage stability and convenient readout behaviors.The inherent Eu^(2+)luminescence can be dynamically tuned,instantly read out,and conveniently erased by controlling irradiation duration of a portable diode laser(365 nm).The modulation mechanism is unraveled by optically induced oxidation reactions of Eu^(2+)→Eu^(3+)and defects as killer centers.The excellent luminescence modulation degree(ΔRt=89.5%)and the accompanying larger color contrast enable the creation of invisible optical codes with multi-level encryption in bright or dark field.These results indicate potential applications of Na_(2)Ba_(2)Si_(2)O_(7):-based materials in information encryption and invisible optical storage,and are expected to expand more investigations on optically induced PL modulation behaviors based on mixed valences and defects.
