Summary: This study synthesized europium-ion doped CaLa4Si3O13 phosphors using a conventional high-temperature solid-state method and characterized them using X-ray powder diffraction patterns and photoluminescence spectra. The phosphors exhibited tunable luminescence due to the presence of Eu2+ and Eu3+ emissions. The emission wavelength of Eu2+ shifted towards longer wavelengths with increasing doping concentration.

Summary: The precipitation technique was used to synthesize calcium sulfate (CaSO4) phosphor, with Eu and Tb lanthanide ions included as dopants. Dopant contents were found to influence the luminescence intensity of CaSO4:Tb,Eu phosphor. Structural and surface morphology analyses were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques, respectively. Spectroscopic analysis revealed the emission lines of Eu2+ ions at about 369 nm, and Eu3+ ions at 592, 618, and 696 nm. The suitability of CaSO4:Tb-0.01%,Eu-0.1% phosphor for radiation dosimetry was confirmed, along with its potential for further development.

Summary: In this study, we demonstrate that bending-induced flexural strain can be used to modulate the photoluminescence of freestanding Ni2+ doped SrTiO3 membranes. The bent membranes exhibit remarkable red-shift emissions, resulting from the variations in symmetry of the host materials and the local crystal fields around the Ni2+ ions. The phosphor films also show reversible and stable wavelength modulation with remarkable anti-fatigue characteristics after 10^4 bending cycles. These findings offer a potential approach for developing flexible strain-tunable devices for applications in optical amplifiers and other optoelectronics.

Summary: The 20NaF-60P2O5-20Na2O fluorophosphate glass systems doped with 3 wt% of CoO and NiO were investigated for their optical parameters before and after gamma irradiation. The presence of defects within the glass network and the addition of transition metals were found to affect the properties of the composites. After irradiation, a red shift was observed in the dissipation factor spectrum. The energy lost at the surface of the composites was larger than the energy lost within the constituent materials. All investigated composites showed insulating behavior and exhibited increased nonlinear optical parameters after irradiation, with the CoO-doped composite showing the highest values.
