Synthesis, characterization and luminescent properties of N-donor based samarium-tris-β-diketonate: Tuning optoelectronic characteristics for displays applications

Ternary Sm(III) complexes of general representation [Sm(TFDH)3L] were synthesized to understand influence of different auxiliary moieties on their optoelectronic properties. The synthesized complexes were thoroughly investigated using elemental, IR, NMR, UV and PL studies. In these complexes, the emitting metal ion is bonded with six O atoms from di-ketone 1,1,1-trifluoro-5,5-dimethyl-2,4-hexanedione and two nitrogen atoms from neutral ligand i.e. 1,10-phenanthroline and its derivatives. Proton NMR spectral data showed that samarium ion induced chemical shift is dipolar in nature. The photoluminescence analysis showed that the complexes show intense orange-red emission due to 4G5/2 → 6H9/2 transition. Moreover, CIE color coordinates supported the results obtained from photoluminescence study, providing additional confirmation of the luminescent properties of prepared complexes within the orange-red region. Their utility in displays and OLED's was confirmed by studying their optical and electronic band gaps.

Effect of lightly substituted samarium ions on the structural, optical, magnetic and dielectric properties of the sonochemically synthesized M-type Sr-hexaferrite nanoparticles

In this study, the role of sonochemical treatment followed by a combustion process adopted for the synthesis of SrSmxFe12-xO19 (x = 0.01 to 0.03) hexaferrites. We have investigated effect of lightly Sm substitutions on structural, magnetic, optical and dielectric properties in Strontium hexaferrites. X-ray diffraction analysis show M as major phase with impurity. The FTIR analysis shows that the value of force constant increased on both sides (tetra hederal and octa hederal) with the increase of samarium content. The band gap was calculated using Tauc method from UV–Visible spectra. Result shows that as the samarium content increases from x = 0.01 to 0.03 the band gap gradually increases from 2.50 eV 2.91 eV respectively. The surface morphology of prepared Sm substituted SrM nanoparticles was examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy, an average particle size was found to 301 nm, 254 nm, and 285 nm for x = 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03 compositions respectively. High values of Ms (53.104 emu/g.) and Mr (29.0 emu/g) observed in x = 0.03 sample with low Hc of 53.104 Oe. Mr/Ms values of all samples are >0.5 show that of formed hexaferrite nanoparticles possess single magnetic domain structure. The Sm-doped of the SrFe12O19 compound exhibits a low dielectric constant (ε′) ∼ 20 at low frequencies, while it increased with increasing temperature and reached 100 when the Sm content was 0.01, but less than 150 in x = 0.02 and 0.03. The temperature and frequency-dependent dielectric constant confirmed the contributions of different polarization mechanisms.

Influence of Sm2O3/AgNPs Addition on the Properties of Lithium-Borate Glass-Ceramic System

This work reports the effect of adding Sm2O3 and silver nanoparticles, in small quantities up to 1 mol%, on the optical and structural properties of the B2O3-Li2O glass-ceramic system. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples show the presence of small quantities of the B2O3 crystalline phase, in addition to a major amorphous phase. Various structural units like BO3, BO4, and LiO4, present in the samples network, are responsible for the absorption bands from the FT-IR spectra. The optical spectra provided valuable information such as the identification of the observed electronic transitions, the energy gap, the refractive index, and metallization values. The luminescence data show the fact that with the addition of metallic NPs the quenching phenomenon can be observed after 0.5 mol% samarium ions. The studied systems are interesting for optical and semiconducting devices.

Structural, photoluminescence, and optical characteristics of a Sm3+ -doped lead borate-strontium-tungsten glass system: Evaluation of Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters and radiative properties.

In this study, the melt quenching approach is used to synthesize a lead borate-strontium-based glass system doped with samarium ions. Modifications in the glass network structure arising from the addition of various concentrations of Sm3+ ions were investigated via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. FTIR analysis revealed B-O-B bridges, BO3 , and BO4 units are present. UV-vis-NIR spectroscopic measurement was performed to study the optical absorption spectra. Optical constants such as optical bandgap energies, refractive indices, and other related parameters were evaluated. The lifetime fluorescence decay was measured and ranged between 1.04 and 1.88 ns. The photoluminescence spectra in the range 500-750 nm revealed four transitions from the ground state 6 G5/2 to the excited states 6 H5/2 , 6 H7/2 , 6 H9/2 and 6 H11/2 and J-O theory was utilized to study these optical transitions for Sm3+ ions. Calculations of the oscillator strengths and J-O intensity parameters were performed and the obtained J-O parameters followed the sequence Ω4 > Ω6 > Ω2 . The ratio O/R indicated a high lattice asymmetry around the samarium ions. The values of lifetimes and branching ratios for the fabricated samples emphasized their suitability to be used in laser applications. The current glass samples are good candidates for orange and red emission devices.

Influence of samarium on the structural, magnetic, and gas sensing performance of cadmium zinc ferrites

Cadmium zinc ferrites Cd0.5Zn0.5SmxFe2−xO4 nanoparticles were synthesized with different concentrations x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, and 0.08, via the wet chemical co-precipitation method. The effects of the Sm3+ doping on the structural, morphological, compositional, and magnetic properties have been investigated. The structural analysis is performed using x-ray diffraction (XRD) with Rietveld refinement. The results indicate great crystallinity in the FCC Fd3m spinel structure of Cd0.5Zn0.5SmxFe2−xO4 nanoparticles. The crystallite size was estimated using Debye–Scherrer, Williamson–Hall, Size-strain plot (SSP), and Halder-Wagner (H-W) methods. It revealed a decreasing trend with the increase of Sm-doping concentrations until the solubility limit at around x = 0.04. The spherical morphology of the samples was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with minor agglomeration as a benefit of using the capping agent polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Raman spectroscopy validates the incorporation of trivalent Sm3+ in the octahedral sites. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) verified the elemental compositions as well as the purity of the samples and the incorporation of the dopants. A vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) was used to study the magnetic properties, and which indicates the superparamagnetic behavior of the prepared samples. The prepared samples were tested as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensors by studying their sensitivity, optimum working temperature, response time, and recovery time. The doping of samarium ions reveals a great increase in LPG sensing sensitivity and optimum temperature with decreasing response and recovery times.

Photo-induced luminescence mechanism and the correlated defects characteristics in the sol-gel derived samarium ion substituted tin oxide (Sn1-xSmxO2) nanoparticles

Rare earth complexes have gained attention in recent years for their remarkable luminescence properties, especially their long lifetimes, clear emission bands, and significant luminous quantum efficiency. In the ultraviolet area, the lanthanide ions exhibit relatively tiny absorption. The current investigation systematically portrays the tailoring of the micro-structural, opto-electonic and defect related features of the sol-gel derived pristine and rare earth element-samarium (Sm3+) substituted tin oxide (SnO2) i.e., Sn1-xSmxO2 (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 & 0.3) nanoparticles (NPs). The structural, optical, electronic, morphological, photo-induced luminescence and defects related characteristics of the NPs were explored as a function of samarium (Sm3+) substitution level. In-depth analysis of the structure-property correlation of the Sn1-xSmxO2 NPs is the goal of this study, focusing especially on the properties related to vacancy evolution and luminescence. The elemental mapping results revealed through energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDS) technique confirmed that the Sm-substitution is distributed uniformly throughout the NPs. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) studies corroborate that the Sm3+ substitution in the SnO2 matrix causes the decrease in crystallite size of the NPs and increase in the dislocation density. A monotonic increase in lattice strain has been observed using the Williamson – Hall (W – H) approach, which is in line with the NPs' increased dislocation density and decreased crystallite size with the Sm3+ substitution level. The presence of vacancy-type defects inside the NPs was demonstrated by positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) spectroscopic measurements, and a decrease in defects was noticed as the level of Sm3+ substitution increased. To explore the optical characteristics and the evolution of the energy band gap with Sm3+ substitution level, the optical absorption (OA) spectroscopic measurement was carried out. As the Sm-substitution level rises, the optical energy band gap of the substituted SnO2 NPs widens relative to that of pure SnO2 NPs. The existence of various absorbance bands corresponding to the atomic vibrations within the NPs were investigated by the Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic technique. The photo-induced fluorescence (FL) emission spectroscopic analysis evidenced that the defect density decreased as the Sm-substitution level increased, which is in accordance with the PAL spectroscopic studies. The FL spectra showed the two typical near band edge (NBE) and deep level emission (DLE) peaks of the NPs. The proportion of different defects and vacancies associated with the FL emission transitions are portrayed as Pie-chart diagrams. The tailored NPs can establish to be effective candidates for possible spintronic and optoelectronic applications including magneto-optical devices.

Dy3+ and Sm3+ ratio variation effects on electrical properties of lithium fluoride bismuth borate glass system

Since less attention was paid to study of electric properties of glasses doped with RE ions, in present work conductivity (AC and DC) and dielectric properties of Dysprosium (Dy3+) and Samarium (Sm3+) ion co-doped 60B2O3•30LiF•10Bi2O3 glasses were examined. Conventional melt quench method was used to synthesize the amorphous glass samples. It was observed that dc conductivity obeyed the Arrhenius law and the ac conductivity followed Jonscher's Power Law. The Conductivity mechanism was investigated on the basis of the trend followed by frequency exponent “s” parameter and all the compositions satisfied the Overlapping large polaron tunnelling (OLPT) model. Dielectric properties: Dielectric Constant (ε′), Dielectric loss (ε'′) and tangent loss (tanδ) were also investigated and observed to decrease with frequency and finally attained a minimum constant value at higher frequencies. The high rate of change in dielectric properties at low frequencies was attributed to space charge polarization while at higher frequencies it was decreased due to inertia of ions. Cole-Cole plots encompasses depressed semicircular arcs which evidenced the presence of constant phase element and non-Debye relaxation behaviour.

Low concentration Sm3+ ions loaded zinc sodium borate glasses for solid state lighting devices

Herein, zinc sodium borate glasses containing samarium ions were fabricated using the traditional melt-quenching approach and explored using several spectroscopic and structural methods. The XRD data corroborated the host glass specimen's non-crystalline nature. Scanning electron microscopy and the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy method were utilized to study the morphological and homogenous attributes. The UV–Vis–NIR wavelengths of absorption showed a total of seventeen distinct Sm3+ ion peaks. The three transitions 4G5/2 → 6H9/2, 6H7/2, and 6H5/2 are evident in the PL data at wavelengths of 644, 597, and 561 nm, respectively, in the red, reddish-orange, and greenish-yellow zones. The luminescence intensity of the investigated glass specimens increases up to 0.4 mol% Sm3+ ion content thereafter reducing because of the non-radiative transfer of energy. The estimated JO intensity parameters exhibit a trend of Ω2>Ω4>Ω6. The trend of the assessed radiative parameters also demonstrated that they are sensitive to changes in the glass network. The Futchbauer-Ladenburgh theory was used to compute the emission cross-section of various transitions utilizing the radiative parameters. The 1931 CIE chromaticity coordinates assessments corroborate the reddish-orange luminescence from the fabricated glasses. The outcomes have proven that obtained BNZSmx glasses doped with low concentrations of trivalent samarium ions are well suited for reddish-orange solid-state lighting systems.

In this article, a comprehensive investigation of structural as well as electrical properties of Sm2O3-modified Bi4Ti3O12 (i.e. Bi3.8Sm0.2Ti3O12), a member of the Aurivillius family has been synthesized by using a mixed-oxide reaction technique. The sample crystallizes in orthorhombic symmetry (space group, B2ab). The electrical behaviors of the pure material, bismuth titanate are improved considerably by substituting a small amount (20%) of trivalent rare-earth (i.e. samarium) ion at its Bi-site. The electrical characteristics of the compound at different temperatures (25–500 °C) over a wide-ranging frequency (1 kHz–1 MHz) have shown several interesting features. The compound displays higher dielectric constant as well as lower tangent loss. The presence of ferroelectricity in the material is established by the P–E hysteresis loop. The J–E characteristics at various temperatures display the Ohmic conduction with a low leakage current that makes the material useful in several electronic industries.

Rare earth element extraction from geothermal brine using hybrid capacitive-deionisation process

Rare Earth Elements (REE) in geothermal brine include pollutants such as dissolved Lanthanum, Cerium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Promethium, Samarium, Europium, Gadolinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, Erbium, Thulium, Ytterbium, lithium, and other ions. These REEs in geothermal brine, also popularly known as “Vitamins of the modern industry”, are vital for industries such as new energy vehicles, wind turbines, radar systems, laser crystals, etc., and harmful for agriculture and drinking purposes. Hence, identifying, quantifying, and extracting these REEs are essential and economical for a geothermal plant. The present study systematically investigates identifying and quantifying the REE and other essential ions in geothermal brine sources from Gujarat regions. For the extraction of REE from geothermal brine, geothermal brine treatment systems and their integration with automation control are designed in the present work. The proposed system filters geothermal brine and extracts REE through a hybrid filtration setup using capacitive deionization. Solar photovoltaic Water Filtration uses a hybrid Capacitive De-Ionization (CDI) treatment-based prototype to purify water and extract REE. The CDI method is an emerging technology in the desalination systems. It has far greater leverage over other desalination methods such as electrodialysis. The proposed design allows the simultaneous removal of various dissolved organic and inorganic contaminants in geothermal brine.

Impact of samarium on magnetic and optoelectronic properties of magnesium-based MgSm2X4 (X = S and Se) spinels for spintronics.

Investigating novel compounds has become necessary due to the need for sophisticated materials in optoelectronic devices and spintronics. Because of their unique properties, magnesium-based spinels MgSm2X4 (X = S and Se) are very promising for these applications. We used the spin-polarized PBEsol for structural properties and the PBEsol functional for mechanical behavior, both using the WIEN2k code. Both compounds' stability in the magnetic and non-magnetic phases was validated by the Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, and their stability in the cubic phase was verified by the Born stability criterion. Their ductile character was shown by the computation of Pugh's ratio and Poisson ratio. Both MgSm2S4 and MgSm2Se4 display metallic behavior in the spin-up channel and semiconducting behavior in the spin-down channel, indicating a half-metallic nature, according to TB-mBJ potential calculations. With total magnetic moments of 20 μB, both materials showed ferromagnetic properties. Samarium ions contributed 5.27 μB for MgSm2S4 and 5.34 μB for MgSm2Se4. Furthermore, we computed optical parameters in the energy range of 0 to 15 eV, such as absorption, extinction coefficient, reflectivity, dielectric function, and refractive index. Our results demonstrate the potential of MgSm2X4 spinels for future technological developments by revealing their prospective optoelectronic and spintronic applications.

Impact of Samarium Ions in the Structural and Optical Characteristics of Aluminum-Sodium Phosphate Glasses

Adjustable luminescence copper nanoclusters nanoswitch based on competitive coordination of samarium ions for cascade detection of adenosine triphosphate and acid phosphatase activity.

Benefit from the strong coordination property, lanthanide metal ions have been used as competitive reagents to modulate the fluorescence changes of the system. However, lanthanide metal ions as inducers for aggregation-induced emission enhancement in nanosystems is rare. Herein, we report a "turn on-off-on" fluorescent switch for cascade detection of acid phosphatase (ACP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) based on the competitive coordination of samarium ions (Sm3+). Novel copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) with long wavelength emission (614nm) stabilized by glutathione (GSH) and glycylglycine (Gly-Gly) have been confirmed to have AIE property. With the continuous aggregation of GSH/Gly-Gly CuNCs under the induction of Sm3+, the fluorescence of the system increased to achieve the "turn-on" process. The coordinated behaviour between Sm3+ and GSH/Gly-Gly CuNCs is discussed. Due to the strong metal coordination ability of ATP, the Sm3+ coordinated with the GSH/Gly-Gly CuNCs is competed out, resulting in the fluorescence "turn-off" process of the system. As the substrate of enzymatic hydrolysis of ACP, with the continuous hydrolysis of ATP by ACP, Sm3+ coordinates with GSH/Gly-Gly CuNCs again, which leads to the AIE effect and realize the fluorescence "turn-on" process of the system. This strategy results inATP linear range of 0.508 ~ 120.0μM with a detection limit of 0.508μM (S/N = 3) and ACP linear range of 0.011 ~ 30.0 U·L-1 with a detection limit of 0.011 U·L-1 (S/N = 3). Application tobiologic samples wassuccessful.

The absorption spectra reveal nine transitions. The surface plasmon resonance was detected at two bands located at ∼ 552 nm and ∼ 595 nm, which are observed from the absorption spectrum. The down-conversion emission under excitation 404 nm showed four emission transitions from the 4G5/2 state to 6H5/2, H7/2, 6H9/2, and 6H11/2. The green and red emission intensity is enhanced due to the formation of the Au NPs along the annealing time and temperature process. At 325 °C heat treatment, the emission intensities of the glass samples increased by a factor of 1.88:1.33:1.54:2.16 corresponding to the emissions transitions, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of the sample at 325 °C heat treatment, confirmed the existence of Au nanoparticles with a size of ∼ 11.25 nm. The cromacity diagram shows the highest color purity (CP) values TSNA-6 glass sample which is 99.684 %.Results indicate the favorable of tellurite glass nanocomposites for developing nanophotonics applications.

In the photoluminescence analysis the trivalent samarium ions show strong reddish-orange luminescence in the 550–670 nm range. The major peaks are obtained at 581 nm, 662 nm, 605 nm. Each of the spectra obtained show three prominent characteristic emission bands correlated to the transitions 4G5/2 to 6H5/2, corresponding to 581 nm, 4G5/2 to 6H7/2 corresponding to 605 nm, and 4G5/2 to 6H9/2 corresponding to 662 nm. We successfully plotted the CIE colorimetry diagram and it is observed that the effect of plasmonic nanoparticles can tune the relative emission intensity of rare earth ions in CIE colorimetry. Our study highlights the significance of incorporating the rare earth ions doping with plasmonic nanoparticles in the color tunability studies, exhibiting their broad applications in LED devices.

Photoluminescence characteristics of Sm3+ activated Y2SiO5 orange emitting phosphors

The structural and photoluminescence characteristics of sol-gel-derived Y2SiO5 activated with triply ionized samarium ions were examined. Structural analysis was performed using XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectral measurements. Lattice expansion was observed with an increased concentration of Sm3+ ions in the Y2SiO5 phosphor due to increased crystallite size. The observed spectra of diffuse reflectance and emission spectra of Y2SiO5 phosphors doped with Sm3+ ions were used for the analysis of optical and luminescence characteristics. J-O intensity parameters, Ω2 = 0.16 × 10−20 cm2, Ω4 = 0.16 × 10−20 cm2 and Ω6 = 0.16 × 10−20 cm2 were obtained for the Y2SiO5:0.03Sm3+ phosphor. Radiative transition probabilities (Arad), radiative lifetimes (τrad), and branching ratios (β) for a certain Sm3+ ion transition are presented. Photoluminescence spectra of Sm3+ activated Y2SiO5 phosphors show an orange emission under the n-UV excitation of phosphor. Dexter's theory on emission spectra supports the existence of dipole-dipole interactions between dopant ions. Furthermore, photometric and colorimetric studies were also accomplished to determine the emission behavior of the synthesized phosphors for their application in w-LEDs.

A comparative analysis on the spectroscopic qualities of modifiers and Sm3+ ions integrated bismuth boro-tellurite glasses for visible orange appliances

Considering the striking features of trivalent samarium ions that can yield novel optoelectronic devices, a set of additive-reliant Sm (III) ions doped bismuth boro-tellurite (BTBiCofXfSm1.0) glasses was synthesized and their physical, structural and lasing features were studied for potential orange emission photonic applications. Structural and elemental investigations are done via XPS and EDX analyses. The spectroscopic paraments as a function of the added additive were analysed to discover the suitable glass. The evaluation of bonding parameters from the absorption studies verified the ionic bonding between the oxygen ligand and the Sm (III) ions in the glasses with respect to the additives. Four luminescence emission bands were observed from the emission spectra and the 4G5/2 → 6H7/2 transition is found to be hypersensitive which denotes intense orange emission. The lasing action determining features like transition probability (Arad), branching ratio (βR) and stimulation emission cross section (σsec) are found to be higher for the Ba oxide containing glass which is a potential medium for red-orange light emission and visible orange photonic applications. The higher quantum efficiency (75.83%) of the Ba containing glass under 476 nm excitation indicates its suitability in high-quality orange light applications. The Judd Ofelt and CIE colorimetric investigations discovered that the studied glass are high-quality media for optoelectronic applications.
