Optical spectroscopy of Nd{sup 3+} ions in a nanostructured glass matrix

Abstract

This paper presents the optical characterization of Nd{sup 3+} ions in nanostructured SiO{sub 2}-Na{sub 2}CO{sub 3}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-B{sub 2}O{sub 3} (SNAB) CdS glass, synthesized by fusion. Radiative properties of the glass were determined by absorption, luminescence spectroscopy and lifetime measurements. Nd{sup 3+} emission enhancement and quenching were investigated in the presence of CdS nanocrystals. Nd{sup 3+}-emission quenching was attributed to upconversion mechanisms and nonradiative processes such as multiphonon decay and energy transfer, while the Nd{sup 3+}-emission enhancement was due to energy transfer from the CdS nanocrystals. Changes in the chemical environment around CdS nanocrystals were also confirmed by Judd-Ofelt calculations. - Highlights: {yields} Nd{sup 3+}-emission enhancement was due to energy transfer from the CdS nanocrystals. {yields} Nd{sup 3+}-emission quenching was due to upconversion, multiphonon decay and energy transfer. {yields} Judd-Ofelt parameters were calculated considering the presence of CdS nanocrystals. {yields} Changes in the chemical environment of Nd{sup 3+} ions around CdS nanocrystals were evidenced.
