ACHIEVMENTS
1. Fabrication and characterization silicate-alkali-earth material CaSiO3, BaSiO3, SrSiO3 doped with Eu2+, Mn2+ for phosphors applications in solid light sources, using high temperature method 1000 -1400 oC, H2 environment. Determination of thermal quenching threshold of materials by TSLES method based on photoionization threshold.

2. Study on the role of alkaline ions Li in enhancing optical properties of Er3+ and Yb3+/ Er3+ in Gd2O3 and CaF2 nanocrystals materials.
  • Li component create a new modifer for the bonds within the "local area network" of the host network. This change lead to enhancement of luminescent, thermoluminescent properties of the RE centers. The energy transfer of Gd-Er (in down conversion luminescence) and Yb-Er (in up- conversion luminescence) gives high luminescence quantum efficiency.
  • TSL thermoluminescence characteristics of CaF2: Er,Li are suitable for  application TSL and OSL dosimeters in the radiation dosimetry
3. Research on technology of fabrication infrared transparent ceramics CaF2, MgF2 using pressing methods with high pressure and high temperature based on HIP-2000, LABOX- 350 equipments, Key Lab of Institute of Mateials Science.

  •  MgF2 ceramic samples have been successfully fabricated with pressure from 20 to 80 MPa, temperature in the range from 600 to 950 oC with high transmition properties in the infrared region from 2 to 7 µm. These SPS technology can be extended to fabricate a number of other optical ceramics such as sapphire and spinel, sulfile...
