Ultraviolet and Visible (UV–Vis) Spectroscopy: Overview01:02

Ultraviolet and Visible (UV–Vis) Spectroscopy: Overview

2.8K
Ultraviolet–visible (UV–visible or UV–Vis) spectroscopy is an analytical technique that investigates the interaction between matter and UV–Vis light within the electromagnetic spectrum. This method is widely used for its versatility, simplicity, and relatively quick data acquisition, making it valuable for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. When UV–Vis radiation passes through a material,  molecules absorb light depending on the energy required for...

UV–Vis Spectroscopy of Conjugated Systems

7.2K
Organic compounds with conjugated double bonds show strong absorption features in the UV–visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum attributed to π → π* electronic excitations. Generally, a UV–vis absorption spectrum is recorded as a plot of absorbance vs wavelength. The wavelength of maximum absorbance, which manifests as a peak in the absorption spectrum, is denoted as λmax.
One of the factors influencing λmax is the extent...

UV–Vis Spectroscopy: Molecular Electronic Transitions

1.6K
In Ultraviolet–Visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, the absorption of electromagnetic radiation is used to probe the electronic structure of molecules. This technique provides insights into molecular electronic transitions, particularly the movement of electrons between different molecular orbitals. Radiation is absorbed if the energy of the electromagnetic radiation passing through the molecule is precisely equal to the energy difference between the excited and ground states. During this...

Photoluminescence: Applications01:14

Photoluminescence: Applications

461
Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid State Chemistry
  • Optics

Background:

  • Designing deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optical (NLO) materials presents challenges in balancing wide bandgaps and strong second harmonic generation (SHG) responses.
  • Cation variations significantly impact material structure and electronic properties, often leading to unpredictable outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel approach for predictable material design by characterizing the role of cations.
  • To explore systematic influences of cation variation on material properties.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic investigation of cation variation effects in borate series.
  • Verification of a proposed design strategy for deep-ultraviolet NLO materials.

Main Results:

  • A feasible strategy for designing deep-ultraviolet NLO materials by substituting lead (Pb) with barium (Ba) was identified.
  • This substitution blue-shifts the ultraviolet cutoff edge and preserves a strong SHG response (over 2x that of KH2PO4).
  • The strategy is particularly effective in fluorooxoborate systems.

Conclusions:

  • The cation characterization method provides a predictable approach to material design.
  • The proposed strategy optimizes deep-ultraviolet NLO material properties, advancing material discovery and selection.
