Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

POCl3-BCl3 solutions activated with Nd3+ and UO 2+2 ions were prepared. Significant differences were found in the absorption and luminescence spectra of Nd3+ in inorganic laser liquids prepared from different neodymium compounds. In POCl3-BCl3-Nd3+ solutions prepared from Nd(ClO4)3 and Nd(CF3COO)3, the half-width of the Nd3+ luminescence band corresponding to the main laser transition, 4 F 3/24 I 11/2, is 14.0 ± 0.1 and 5.2 ± 0.2 nm, respectively. It is assumed that the Nd3+ heterocomplex that is formed in solutions and has uniquely narrow luminescence band incorporates six BCl3 molecules. The POCl3-BCl3-235UO 2+2 -Nd3+ solutions have properties typical of POCl3-MCl x solutions with halides of metals characterized by high oxygen affinity (M = Zr, Ti, Si, and Al).
