Popis: | Transparent glass-ceramic is a highly attractive class of materials for photonic application. Transition metal ions are promising candidates for luminescence centers thanks to the sensitivity to the ligand ions of d-d electron transition. Here, the broadband second near-infrared (NIR-II) photoluminescence was achieved via precipitation of ZnGa2O4:Ni2+ nanocrystals within a zinc gallium-silicate glass matrix by the crystallization process. Excited by 260 nm UV photon, ZnGa2O4:Ni2+ GC displays NIR-II emission peaking at 1240 nm and has a full width at half maximum wider than 288 nm, attributing to 3T2g(3F)→3A2g(3F) electronic transition of octahedral coordinated Ni2+ ions. Moreover, broad persistent luminescence of Ni2+ ions can be effectively obtained after irradiation in the UV light. Based on the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra and thermoluminescence method, a physical model was constructed to demonstrate the mechanism of persistent luminescence. This developed afterglow luminescent glass-ceramic exhibits a potential application in biological imaging. |
