Abstract:
Tellurite glasses doping the same concentration of Er3+ were prepared by conventional melting procedure, and their upconversion luminescences were measured. Two green emission bands at 521 nm and 550 nm and one red emission band at 657 nm were observed. This paper reported on the deduction of coordinate field index, which was proposed by deducing from Pauling's rules on the basis of Zachaiasen's random network theory, it was defined to the qualitative index that stand for the deviation of a given truly coordinate polyhedron from the hypothetical one. It can be used to rationalize the remarkable and regularity variation in the upconversion intensity in our prepared tellurite glasses.

To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
