The Sb$^{3+}$ ion has garnered significant interest due to its effectiveness in boosting the optical properties of host materials. Among the interesting phenomena is the commonly observed dual-band emission, which has often been interpreted…

Intense "blue-green" phosphorescence is commonly observed in near colourless lab-grown high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) diamonds following optical excitation at or above the indirect bandgap. We have employed a holistic combination of…

In the current work, a novel class of (Ca0.9Si0.1)Al2O6:Eu2+,Nd3+ long persistent phosphor was synthesized using high-temperature (1000-1500oC) solid-state reaction method. Further, the phosphor material was formulated into a phosphorescent…

Perovskite SrTiO3 (STO) is an attractive photocatalyst for solar water splitting, but suffers from a limited photoresponse in the ultraviolet spectral range due to its wide band gap. By means of hybrid density functional theory…

Sn$_{0.97-y}$Co$_{0.03}$Ni$_{y}$O$_{2}$ (0 $\leq y \leq$ 0.04) nanocrystals, with average crystallite size in the range of 7.3 nm ($y$=0.00) to 5.6 nm ($y$=0.04), have been synthesized using pH-controlled chemical co-precipitation…

We report the existence of intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) luminescence in Yb-doped fluorites associated with Yb2+-Yb3+ mixed valence pairs. We show that the very broad band, anomalous emission of Yb2+-doped CaF2 and SrF2, usually…

Cr$^{3+}$ doped spinel compounds AB$_2$O$_4$ with A=Zn, Mg and B=Ga, Al exhibit a long near infrared persistent luminescence when excited with UV or X-rays. In addition, persistent luminescence of ZnGa$_2$O$_4$ and to a lesser extent…

The blue-green photoluminescence emitted by pure and electron-doped strontium titanate under intense pulsed near-ultraviolet excitation is studied experimentally, as a function of excitation intensity and temperature. Both emission spectra…

White light emitting diodes (LEDs) have become the most widely used lighting devices due to their high luminous efficiency, environmental friendliness, long lifespan, and energy-saving advantages. Currently, the production of white light…

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) based materials are widely used in many applications. Yet, due to a lack of detailed knowledge of defect energy levels, the electrical properties and luminescence mechanisms in the materials still give rise to debate.…
