808 nm 抽运的Ho3+，Tm3+及Er3+掺杂的氟磷酸盐 玻璃的2.0 μm 光谱性质研究

2.0 μm spectroscopic properties of Er³⁺/Tm³⁺/Ho³⁺ triply-doped fluorophosphate glasses pumped by 808 nm and the energy transfer mechanisms between the three rare earth ions were investigated. J-O theory was used to calculate the parameters of Ho³⁺ in fluorophosphate glasses. Absorption and emission cross-sections and the gain coefficients were calculated. The obtained lifetime r and spontaneous transition probability Ar of Ho³⁺:⁵I7 level were 10.64 ms and 93.95 s^-1 respectively. The calculated maximum emission cross-section of 2.0 μm was 9.26×10^-21 cm². The energy transfer analysis indicated that the cross-relaxation of Tm³⁺ was important and the resonent energy transfer in Er³⁺&rarrHo³⁺, Tm³⁺&rarrHo³⁺, Er³⁺&rarrTm³⁺&rarrHo³⁺ process was the main channel. The study revealed that the Er³⁺/Tm³⁺/Ho³⁺ triply-doped fluorophosphate glass would be a potential material for 2.0 μm emission because of the efficient sensitization of Er³⁺ and Tm³⁺ to Ho³⁺.

Thermo- and pH-sensitive poly(vinylmethyl ether)/carboxymethylchitosan hydrogels crosslinked using electron beam irradiation or using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker

BACKGROUND: Stimuli-sensitive or intelligent hydrogels have been investigated for many biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Those hydrogels with dual sensitivity will have more extensive potential applications. The aim of the work presented was to prepare a series of thermo- and pH-sensitive hydrogels based on poly(vinylmethyl ether) (PVME) and carboxymethylchitosan (CMCS). The hydrogels were crosslinked using electron beam irradiation (EB) or using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinker at room temperature.
