SILVER(I) LUMINESCENCE IN K1-xAgxZn(PO3)3 POLYPHOSPHATES

In the context of a systematic investigation of the silver (I) luminescence properties in polyphosphates, the structures of the low and high temperature forms of KZn(PO3)3 have been resolved by the Reitveld profilation method. The introduction of monovalent silver in KZn(PO3)3 crystals induces the o...

Description
Summary:In the context of a systematic investigation of the silver (I) luminescence properties in polyphosphates, the structures of the low and high temperature forms of KZn(PO3)3 have been resolved by the Reitveld profilation method. The introduction of monovalent silver in KZn(PO3)3 crystals induces the observation of two emitting centers attributed to isolated Ag+ ions located in two slightly different sites. The relationships between the crystal structure and the luminescent properties of the K1-xAgxZn(PO3)3 systems (0≤x≤0.2) has also been established.
