Site symmetry and host sensitization-dependence of Eu3+ real time luminescence in tin dioxide nanoparticles
Abstract:
The present work gives a detailed investigation of the dependence of the real time luminescence of Eu3+-doped tin dioxide nanopowder on rare earth (RE) site symmetry and host defects. Ultrafast time-resolved analysis of both RE-doped and undoped nanocrystal powder emissions, together with electronic paramagnetic resonance studies, show that host-excited RE emission is associated with RE-induced oxygen vacancies produced by the non-isoelectronic RE-tin site substitution that are decoupled from those producing the bandgap excited emission of the SnO2 matrix. A lower limit for the host-RE energy transfer rate and a model for the excitation mechanism are given.

Time-dependent pharmacokinetics refers to non-cyclical changes in drug rate processes over a period of time. It can lead to nonlinear pharmacokinetics, where the relationship between drug concentration and time is not proportional. Non-cyclical...
