RESUMO
The use of Yb3+ codoping for enhancing the near-infrared (NIR) emission in Bi, Yb codoped PbF2 crystal was investigated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The NIR and visible fluorescence emission properties of the as-grown crystals were investigated in detail. It was found that the Yb3+ ion can act as an effective charge compensated ion to bring about the conversion from Bi2+ to Bi+, enhancing the NIR fluorescence emission in Bi:PbF2 crystal. Moreover, the NIR fluorescence emission peaking at around 1090 and 1485 nm was demonstrated to be two different Bi+ related centers, Bi(I) and Bi(II), respectively. These results suggest that Bi, Yb codoped PbF2 crystal may become an attractive gain material for developing NIR broadband lasers under pumps of different wavelengths.
RESUMO
CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and polyaniline (PAni) were mixed to prepare CdSe QDs/PAni complex. PAni can quench the fluorescence of CdSe QDs. Fluorescence intensity of CdSe QDs/PAni complex is related to the size of CdSe QDs and the concentration of PAni. UV-Vis absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy were used to analys the quenching phenomenon. The mechanism of fluorescence quenching is dependent on two factors: on one hand, the Förster resonance energy transfer from CdSe to PAni; on the other hand, PAni can intercept the charge relaxation process of CdSe and lead to the interruption of radiative recombination.
