Article Citation - WoS: 46Citation - Scopus: 50Investigation of Europium Concentration Dependence on the Luminescent Properties of Borogermanate Glasses(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Gökçe, Melis; Şentürk, Ufuk; Uslu, Deniz K.; Burgaz, Gözde; Şahin, Yüksel; Gökçe, Aytaç GürhanIn order to elucidate the effect of europium content on the optical and luminescent properties of borogermanate glasses, a series of Eu3+ doped 30B2O3-40GeO2-(30-x)Gd2O3 glasses with various doping levels (x=1–9 mol%) have been synthesized and studied with transmission, absorption, photoluminescence and decay time measurements. The transmission spectra proved that the title glasses maintained a high transparency about 80% in the 440 to 900 nm region. Based on the absorption spectra, the optical band gaps obtained from Tauc's plot can be narrowed by increasing content of Eu3+. From the photoluminescence spectra, the strongest red emission has been observed from the 5D0→7F2 level of Eu3+ ions in borogermanate glasses. The strongest emission and excitation intensities of Eu3+ ions are at the doping level of x=7 mol% and then these intensities decrease due to concentration quenching. The red to orange ratio (R/O) of 5D0→7F2 to 5D0→7F1 transitions has been investigated to predict the local environment of Eu3+ ions. Judd-Ofelt (J-O) analyses have been performed from the emission spectra. The values of R/O and Ω2 present an increase with increasing doping level, indicating the lower symmetric environment for Eu3+ ions and higher covalency for Eu-O bond. The emission efficiency calculated from J-O theory is 75% at x=2 mol%. The decay time curves of 6P7/2→8S7/2 transition of Gd3+ ions and 5D0–7F2 transition of Eu3+ ions confirm the energy transfer from Gd3+ to Eu3+ ions.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Effect of Compaction Pressure on Structural and Superconducting Properties of Bi-2223 Superconductors(Springer Verlag, 2010) Kocabaş, Kemal; Gökçe, Melis; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Bilgili, ÖzlemIn this work, effects of compaction pressure on the structural and superconducting properties of BSCCO ceramic superconductors were investigated. The study was carried out on two systems which were, System I: Bi 1.7Pb 0.3Sr 2Ca 2Cu 3O y and System II: Bi 1.6Pb 0.3Ag 0.1Sr 2Ca 2Cu 3O y, respectively. Ceramic powders were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method and sintered at 850°C after compaction at five different pressures in the 150-750 MPa range. Critical temperatures of samples were determined by resistivity-temperature determinations made by four-point probe method in liquid nitrogen conditions. XRD analysis was conducted by powder X-ray diffraction method. Morphology of the grains present in the samples were determined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs at 2 K× and 2.5 K× magnifications for System I and System II, respectively. Sintered densities of the superconducting ceramics were measured by Archimedes water displacement method and unit cell parameters were additionally obtained from XRD data. T c values for System I was determined to be in the 109-115 K with sample D having the highest T c of 115 K while T c varied in the 104-109 K range and sample B had the highest T c value of 109 K for System II. The transition width, which is a sign of the purity of the samples, was determined to be narrow for both systems. The data obtained from X-ray diffraction measurements have shown that 2223 high-T c phase was dominant in both systems. The determination of the optimum pellet compaction pressure for BSCCO ceramic superconductors was the main purpose of this work. The results of this work indicated that compaction at around 450 MPa improves the superconducting and structural properties of the BSCCO ceramic superconductors. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
