METRICA, l’archivio istituzionale della produzione scientifica dell’Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, ha lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare, conservare e pubblicare, anche ad accesso aperto, i prodotti della ricerca dell’Ente. METRICA utilizza la piattaforma IRIS (Institutional Research Information System) sviluppata da Cineca.
EnglishThe sensitizing action of amorphous silicon nanoclusters on erbium ions in thin silica films has been studied under low-energy (long wavelength) optical excitation. Profound differences in fast visible and infrared emission dynamics have been found with respect to the high-energy (short wavelength) case. These findings point out to a strong dependence of the energy transfer process on the optical excitation energy. Total inhibition of energy transfer to erbium states higher than the first excited state (4I13/2) has been demonstrated for excitation energy below 1.82 eV (excitation wavelength longer than 680 nm). Direct excitation of erbium ions to the first excited state (4I13/2) has been confirmed to be the dominant energy transfer mechanism over the whole spectral range of optical excitation used (540 nm–680 nm).

| Abstract: | The sensitizing action of amorphous silicon nanoclusters on erbium ions in thin silica films has ...been studied under low-energy (long wavelength) optical excitation. Profound differences in fast visible and infrared emission dynamics have been found with respect to the high-energy (short wavelength) case. These findings point out to a strong dependence of the energy transfer process on the optical excitation energy. Total inhibition of energy transfer to erbium states higher than the first excited state (4I13/2) has been demonstrated for excitation energy below 1.82 eV (excitation wavelength longer than 680 nm). Direct excitation of erbium ions to the first excited state (4I13/2) has been confirmed to be the dominant energy transfer mechanism over the whole spectral range of optical excitation used (540 nm–680 nm). | |
