Structural analysis of nonlinearities of Ca4ReO(BO3)(3) (Re = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Er, Y)

From the chemical bond viewpoint, second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) tensor coefficients of the family of new oxoborates Ca4ReO(BO3)(3) (CReOB, Re = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Er, and Y) have been theoretically predicted. The d(11) tensor coefficient of CReOB is predicted to be -11 d(36)(KDP), which is the largest d(ij) tensor that has been found in borate crystals. From the structural characteristic of CReOB, we find the isolated BO33- clusters play a dominant role in contributions to the total nonlinearity, and the largest d(11) tensor of CReOB-type crystals is also ascribed to these BO33- clusters. We also find the NLO property of this family does not change dramatically for different rare-earth elements. The details of the calculation of CGdOB only are presented.

Calculation of nonlinear optical coefficients of orthorhombic Re-2(MoO4)(3) crystals

From the chemical bond viewpoint, the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) tensor coefficients of some Re-2(MoO4)(3) (ReMO)-type tare earth molybdates, with Re = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb and Dy, have been calculated by using the chemical bond theory of complex crystals and the modified bond charge model. All kinds of constituent chemical bonds are considered in the calculation. The major part of the NLO properties of these ReMO crystals is found from the ReO7 groups. The NLO coefficients of these ReMO crystals decrease with Re from Pr to Dy. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Studies on liquid crystalline bis[4-(p-phenoxy)-phenylbenzoate] alkyldicarboxylate

A new series of liquid crystals of bis[4-(p-phenoxy)-phenylbenozoate] alkyldicarboxylate which contain two rigid groups connected by a flexible spacer was synthesized. These liquid crystals show nematic phase and were found to show odd-even effect in isotropization temperature and entropy change.

Separation of Ce(IV) and RE(III) with hollow fiber membrane-based extraction

Separation of Ce(IV) and RE(III) was investigated by hollow fiber membrane-based extraction with contercurrent recirculating operation. The mass transfer coefficients of Ce(IV) and RE(III) and the effective factors to them were tested. The results show the mass transfer coefficient of Ce(IV) is larger than that of RE(III), and their mass transfer mechanism is different. The mass transfer of Ce(IV) was controlled by the resistance in water critical layer due to its more rapid interfacial reaction rate and larger distribution coefficient, which was different from RE(III) mass transfer with a slow interfacial reaction rate and small distribution coefficient. Ce(IV) was separated from the mixed solution of Ce(IV) and RE(III) by means of the difference of their mass transfer rates.

Luminescence properties of sol-gel derived silica gels doped and undoped with RE-complexes (RE=Eu, Tb)

The luminescence properties of silica gels and silica gels doped with two rare earth complexes, Eu(TTA)(3) and Tb(o-CBA)(3) (TTA=thenoyltriffuocetate, o-CBA=o-chlorobenzoic acid) are reported and discussed. Pure silica gels show a blue luminescence, and the maximum excitation and emission wavelengths depend strongly on the solvents used. Both of the studied rare earth complexes exhibit the characteristic emissions of the rare earth ions in silica gels, i.e., Eu3+5D0-->F-7(J)(J=0,1,2,3,4), Tb3+5D4-->F-7(J)(J=3,4,5,6) transitions. Compared with the pure RE-complexes powder, the silica gels doped with RE-complexes show fewer emission lines of the rare earth ions. Furthermore the rare earth ion (Tb3+) presents a longer lifetime (1346 mu s) in silica gel doped with Tb(o-CBA)3 than in pure Tb((o-CBA)(3) powder (744 mu s). The reasons responsible for these results are discussed in the context.

Energy transfer occurs from Gd3+ to Dy3+ and to Eu3+. The influence of Gd3+ and Dy3+ concentrations on the luminescence intensity is discussed.

Sol-gel synthesis and luminescence of Y4Al2O9:RE3+(RE=Eu, Tb)

Y4Al2O9 (YAM) was prepared by a sol-gel process, using yttrium and aluminum citrate complexes as precursors. The sol-gel process produced single-phase YAM at 900 degrees C, as opposed to the conventional solid-state reaction, which led to the formation of other phases, even if at 1600 degrees C. The emission and excitation spectra of Eu3+ and Tb3+ in YAM showed the existence of two luminescence centers, agreeing with the crystal structure of YAM. The spectral properties of the samples are discussed.

A STUDY ON THE LUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OF EU3+ AND DY3+ IN M(2)RE(8)(SIO4)(6)O-2 (M=MG, CA RE=Y, GD, LA)

In this paper, the luminescence properties of Eu3+ and Dy3+ in the oxyapatites M(2)RE(8)(SiO4)(6)O-2 (M=Mg, Ca; RE=Y, Gd, La) were studied. The spectral characters of Eu3+ were discussed in relation to the crystal structure. The dependence of the red-to-orange intensity ratio and the position of the charge transfer band of Eu3+ and the yellow-to-blue intensity ratio of Dy3+ together with their fluorescence intensities (I-R for Eu3+ and I-Y for Dy3+) On the M(2+) and the substitution of BO45- and PO43- for SiO44- was discussed. Finally, the concentration quenching of Dy3+ luminescence was reported.

BIS(ETA-HEPTYLAMMONIUM) TETRACHLOROZINCATE

The crystal structure of (C7H18N)(2)[ZnCl4] is composed of alternating layers of inorganic ions and paraffinic chains. It differs from the structures of analogous compounds that have a hydrocarbon chain containing an even number of C atoms. This may explain the odd-even effects observed in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements on these compounds.
