Descrição
Resumo:The interlanthanide perovskites LaYbO3:Pr3+ and LaLuO3:Pr3+,Tb3+ were synthesized by a solid-state reaction and characterized at ambient conditions by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence techniques. XRD measurements have shown that the synthesis method provided samples with pure perovskite phase (space group Pnma) for LaYbO3, while in the case of the LaLuO3 compound small traces of Lu2O3 could be found after several annealing. Up to 13 Raman active modes were observed in the Raman spectra of the studied perovskites and theoretical calculations performed for LaYbO3 allowed to assign their symmetry. Regarding their optical properties, the emission from Tb3+ ions at B sites of the ABO3 perovskite could be distinguished. Moreover, NIR emission from Pr3+ was observed in the LaLuO3 perovskite at -1000 nm and 1250-1600 nm. Emission in these spectral regions could be relevant for Si-based solar cell applications and fiber optic amplifiers, respectively. Moreover, the stability of both perovskites under high-pressure conditions has been studied spectroscopically, finding that LaYbO3 is stable up to 19 GPa and that LaLuO3 undergoes a possible pressure-induced phase transition at -21-24 GPa. This makes LaLuO3 the first interlanthanide perovskite showing phase transition under 40 GPa
