Magnetic, Photoluminescent and Semiconductor Properties of a 4f-5d Bromide Compound
Abstract:
A novel 4f-5d material (HgDy6Br12)Hg8Br24 (1) is prepared by hydrothermal reactions and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is characterized by a two-dimensional (2D) layered structure. A photoluminescence measurement with solid-state samples shows that this compound exhibits a strong emission in the blue region. A narrow optical band gap of 1.97 eV is revealed by a solid-state UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility obeys the Curie-Weiss law (cm= c/(T-q)) with C = 0.78 K and a Weiss constant ? = -0.38 K as revealed by the magnetic measurements, suggesting the existence of an antiferromagnetic interaction.

Colors 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...
