    Photoluminescence, radioluminescence and thermoluminescence properties of Eu3+ doped cadmium tantalate phosphor
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Ilhan M.; Keskin I.Ç.
    For investigate spectroscopic properties, Eu3+ doped columbite type CdTa2O6 phosphors were synthesized using the solid state reaction method. The synthesized ceramic phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), photoluminescence (PL), radioluminescence (RL) and thermoluminescence (TL) analyses. CdTa2O6:Eu3+ phosphors exhibited emissions at 591.8 nm and 612.1 nm because of the characteristic band transitions of the Eu3+ ion. Phosphor emission increased with increasing Eu3+ ion dopant up to 1.5 mol%, and then decreased owing to concentration quenching. The decay times decreased with increasing Eu3+ dopant, while they were varied from 711 to 534 μm. The scintillation emissions of Eu3+ doped samples from the UV to near-IR spectral region were monitored by RL measurements. The high RL emission may be attributed to the good scintillation property of phosphor. TL glow curves were monitored for different Eu3+ concentrations in the range of 50 °C to 400 °C at a heating rate of 2 °C s-1, after being irradiated under short-wave UV light (254 nm). © 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

    Optimizing Optical and Structural Properties of Nanocomposites by ZnO and BP-3
    (Pleiades Publishing, 2018) Türemiş M.; Keskin I.Ç.; Katı M.I.; Kibar R.; Şirin K.; Çanlı M.; Çorumlu V.; Çetin A.
    This study aims to find out usage of zinc oxide (ZnO) and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (BP-3) for getting better optical and structural properties of nanocomposites. Polymer nanocomposites were prepared by adding zinc oxide for minimizing UV rays effects of the sun with the particle size of nanometer in different ratios to a low density polyethylene (LDPE). The polymer mixtures were synthesized by mixing nanocomposite samples with BP-3 featuring UV stabilizer. Besides making tensile testing measurements, in order to find out the optical, structural, mechanical and thermal changes, the new polymer nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, TG-DTA spectra, and SEM images. The samples with zinc oxide which show luminescent properties were examined in terms of radioluminescence features. Radioluminescence spectrum showed characteristic peaks of zinc oxide dispersed nanocomposites prepared with LDPE. The intensity of the characteristic peaks at 530 and 390 nm (exciton) increased by increasing rates of nanopowder zinc oxide while adding BP-3 to the composites caused a decrease in intensity of radioluminescence. © 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
