摘要
We have investigated the energetic correlation between rare-earth ions and semiconductor nanocrystals, using europium ion (Eu3+) doped silica (SiO2) gel with adsorbed cadmium sulfide (CdS) particles. Samples were prepared by a sol-gel technique, in which several methods for the precipitation of CdS colloids were attempted. The fluorescence intensities were compared for different gels, with and without CdS particles. The intrinsic emission lines due to D-5(0) --> F-7(J)(J = 0-4) transitions of Eu3+ were observed, which were enhanced for 24 h-immersed gel (dried at 50 degreesC). From the results on the decay dynamics of fluorescence, we proposed the model that surface-trapped electrons on CdS particles nonradiatively excited 4f electrons in Eu3+ ions due to an energy transfer process.
