Sp. Feofilov et al., LUMINESCENCE AND LASER SPECTROSCOPY OF HIGHLY POROUS GAMMA-AL2O3 DOPED WITH 3D-IONS AND 4F-IONS - EFFECTS OF SPATIAL PHONON CONFINEMENT, Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 41-42
Inhomogeneously broadened luminescence spectra of Cr3+, Eu3+ and Pr3ions in sol-gel-grown monolithic highly porous Y-Al2O3 were observed.
In FLN and HB experiments, the interaction of ions with the size-reson
ant terahertz acoustic vibrations of crystalline nanoparticles which f
orm the porous network was studied. The incorporation of Eu3+ and Pr3 into alpha-Al2O3 (corundum) lattice is demonstrated in annealed (T >
1200 degrees C) sol-gel-prepared samples.
