Item Characterization and some fundamental features of Optically Stimulated Luminescence measurements of silver activated lithium tetraborate(Elsevier B.V., 2018) Ozdemir A.; Altunal V.; Guckan V.; Can N.; Kurt K.; Yegingil I.; Yegingil Z.A new lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7 or abbreviated as LTB) material was produced by adding various concentrations of Ag impurities to allow better luminescent properties using the solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method. The formation of single phase LTB was confirmed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) data and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis indicated the existence of a tetragonal crystalline domain. Two broad band emissions located at ∼ 272 nm (near UV region) and 526 nm (green region) were observed from room temperature photoluminescence (PL) under 205 nm excitation The synthesized material consisted of polycrystalline LTB with 1 wt% Ag (abbreviated herein as LTB:Ag) exhibits considerable thermoluminescence (TL) and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) which is several times more sensitive to beta radiation than the other concentrations attempted. It was determined that the OSL signal has been a collection of three component signals. A step-preheating procedure to investigate the depth of the trapping centers associated with the OSL signal was carried out. We suggest that the TL peak at 200 °C mainly contributes to the OSL signal. It was observed that the total OSL area shows a linear dose response for beta doses ranging from 1 to 100 Gy. The minimum detectable dose (MDD) value was found to be around 3 mGy using the total OSL area. Under optimum conditions (irradiation with beta-rays), the reproducibility of total OSL area was determined with a −3% deviation at the end of the 9th irradiation-blue light stimulation-readout cycle. The dark storage stability of the total OSL signals was investigated and fading of the total OSL area was found to be approximately 25% after one week. The trap depth corresponding to the OSL signal was found to be 0.99 eV and 0.94 eV using various heating rate and isothermal annealing methods, respectively. Finally, silver doped lithium tetraborate is shown to have promise as an optically stimulated luminescent dosimeter, particularly in medical and personal applications. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.Item Characterization, room and low temperature photoluminescence of yttrium aluminium borate activated with Sm3+ ions(Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Madkhli A.Y.; Kaynar Ü.H.; Coban M.B.; Ayvacikli M.; Canimoglu A.; Can N.In this study, the combustion method assisted by urea that is ideally suited to economic and time saving was used for the synthesizing of reddish orange emitting YAl3(BO3)4 phosphor samples doped with various Sm3+ ions (from 0.01 wt% to 7wt%). A detailed study of the structural and luminescence properties at room/low temperature of the synthesized samples was performed. XRD analysis revealed a rhombohedral structure with an R32 space group (155). The particle size was determined by the Scherrer's method to be 48 nm. The visible PL emission spectra upon excitation at 359 nm are recorded and four emission peaks around 564, 599, 646, and 707 nm with transitions 4G5/2 → 6H5/2, 4G5/2 → 6H7/2, 4G5/2 → 6H9/2 and 4G5/2 → 6H11/2 are observed. Concentration quenching was mainly caused by dipole-dipole interactions between neighbouring trivalent Sm3+ ions. Through the CIE chroma coordinates (0.606, 0.382), the optimized sample (x = 0.03) demonstrates admirable luminous performance. YAl3(BO3)4:Sm3+ can be a good candidate for use as a red component for lighting applications. © 2023 Elsevier LtdItem Structural and temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties of NaBaBO3:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors synthesized using the combustion method(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Altowyan A.S.; Oglakci M.; Topaksu M.; Ozturk E.; Hakami J.; Coban M.B.; Ozgur Keskin M.; Ayvacikli M.; Kaynar U.H.; Canimoglu A.; Can N.This study explores the structural and temperature-dependent photoluminescence of Ce3+ and Tb3+ doped NaBaBO3 phosphors, synthesized via combustion. Analysis of their crystal structures confirmed excellent alignment with the standard PDF#98–008-0110. Investigation into both room and low-temperature photoluminescence revealed that the dopants have a significant effect on emission spectra. Ce3+-doped samples exhibited excitation peaks at 275 nm and 358 nm, leading to a primary emission at 419 nm, with enhanced low-temperature emission suggesting reduced non-radiative processes. Tb3+-doped phosphors showed excitation from 250 to 377 nm and emissions from blue to deep red, including strong green emission at 550 nm due to 5D4→7F5 transitions. Optimal doping was found at 1 mol% for Ce3+, while Tb3+ showed increased luminescence up to 3 mol%, with concentration quenching observed beyond these points. The study indicates dipole–dipole interactions dominate Ce3+ concentration quenching, whereas Tb3+ involves both electric dipole and quadrupole interactions. This analysis provides insights into enhancing luminescent efficiency and suggests NaBaBO3:xCe3+,Tb3+ phosphors' potential in advancing white LED technology, highlighting their stable luminescent properties at low temperatures. © 2024 The Society of Powder Technology Japan.
