We explore the effects of B doping on the electronic properties of 3C-SiC, focusing on a 12.5% impurity concentration. Our comprehensive analysis encompasses structural properties, electronic band structures, and charge density distributions. The optimized lattice constant and band gap energy of 3C-SiC were found to be 4.373 Å and 1.36 eV respectively, which is in agreement with previous research (Bui, 2012;Muchiri et al., 2018). Our results show that B doping narrows the band gap, enhances electrical conductivity, and influences charge transfer interactions. The charge density analysis reveals substantial interactions between B dopants and surrounding carbon atoms. This work not only enhances our understanding of the material’s electronic properties, but also highlights the importance of charge density analysis for characterizing charge transfer mechanisms and their implications in the 3C-SiC semiconductors.展开更多

The phase and crystallinity of the synthesized materials were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microcopy(SEM). Among the co-doped ion, Al^3+ incorporation caused the least lattice change and had the best crystallinity. Photoluminescence spectra were taken to investigate the luminescence characteristics. We observed a red luminescence change of SrTiO3 : Pr^3+ after being co-doped, and a best enhancement on the red luminescence with the trivalent Al^3+ was observed. The present results indicated that the charge defect associated with Al^3+ has led to charge compensation of Pr^+ and also implied that the charge defects(usually the second dopant ions replacing the A or B sites in the lattice) which are closer to PrSr^+ contribute more to the red luminescence enhancement.展开更多

The crystalline phase and microstructure of the LiYF_4 nanocrystals were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM), respectively. Compared with those of Pr^(3+)-doped glass(Pr^(3+):PG), the sharp absorption and emission bands of Pr^(3+)-doped glass-ceramic(Pr^(3+):GC) reveal parts of Pr^(3+) ions are incorporated into LiYF_4 nanocrystals. The peak absorption cross-section at 443 nm(~3H_4 → ~3P_2) adds to 110% and the full width at half maximum(FWHM) for the band around 443 nm reduces from 22 to 14 nm after crystallization. The fluorescence lifetime of the ~3P_0 multiplet of Pr^(3+) ions increases from 5.35 to 11.14 μs after crystallization. The results indicate that this glass-ceramic is promising to be a visible laser material.展开更多

Combining with the radiative lifetimes of the manifolds calculated on the basis of the modified J-O theory, the main mechanisms for the fluorescence quenching of the manifolds were analyzed. The multi-phonon relaxation and the cross-relaxation energy transfer are the major reasons for the fluorescence quenching of the ^3P0 and ^1D2 manifolds, respectively. The Inokuti-Hirayama model was used to analyze the fluorescence decay curve of the ^1D2 manifold and the cross-relaxation of dlpole-dipole interaction was confirmed. Consequently, the ^3p0 manifold is more favorable as an upper laser level than the ^1D2 manifold.展开更多

In the emission spectra, the parity-forbidden 4f^2→4f^2 and parity-allowed 4f5d→4f^2 transitions were observed simultaneously. In addition, it was also observed that the intensity of 4f5d→4f^2 emission bands increased relative to the intensity of 4f^2→4f^2 emissions with increasing temperature. The thermal equilibrium model of energy levels was employed with respect to the lowest 4f5d state and ^1S0 state of LaB3O6:Pr^3+ , as a result of which the fitted curve had a good agreement with the experiment values, which clarified the physical nature of temperature-dependent emission characteristics of Pr^3+ in LaB3O6.展开更多
