Abstract

Sol-gel matrices have been investigated for some years as potential matrices for rare earth luminescence. Sm3+, Eu3+, Dy3+, Er3+ and Tm3+ optical properties in siloxane-zirconium hybrid matrices prepared at room temperature have been investigated. Even if luminescence efficiency is governed by non-radiative relaxation linked to hydroxyl groups, in these matrices, rare earth fluorescence is always observed but lifetimes and quantum yields are dependent on the elaboration procedure. Eu3+ is used as a probe of the local surrounding around the dopant and the emission and decay profiles measurements in rare earth doped and undoped matrices are presented.
