Composite structures of YAG/1 at% Nd-doped LuAG/YAG, YAG/1 at% Nd-doped LuAG and YAG/5 at% Yb-doped LuAG transparent ceramics were successfully fabricated by non-aqueous tape-casting method and vacuum sintering technology. Cation (Y 3+ , Lu 3+ , Nd 3+ , Yb 3+ ) diffusion behavior across the contact boundaries between ytterbium (Yb) or neodymium (Nd) doped lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG) and un-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) was studied by the electron probe X-ray micro-analysis (EPMA). The diffusion concentration profile curves were well modeled by Harrison type B kinetics. Curves of concentration vs depth were well fitted by Fick’s second low and the log of the average concentration varies as 6/5 power of penetration depth in the diffusion range was demonstrated. Meanwhile, the bulk diffusion coefficient and grain boundary diffusion coefficient were calculated. For YAG/Nd:LuAG transparent ceramic, under an 808 nm diode laser pumping, the 1064 nm continuous wave (C.W.) laser output beam with good quality was achieved.

Because of their unique electrical and magnetic properties, the perovskite multiferroic materials exhibit significant potential in spintronic device applications. However, synthesizing room-temperature multiferroic materials with robust magneto-electric coupling effects remains a major challenge. In this work, Yb 3 + , with an ionic radius slightly smaller than Y 3+ , was selected for A -site doping in the h -YMnO 3 , which has a high ferroelectric transition temperature (T C ∼ 900 K) and a low antiferromagnetic transition temperature (T N ≤ 70 K). This similar ionic radius allows Yb to substitute the Y site effectively while introducing distinct electronic states, thereby optimizing the structure and multiferroic properties of h -YMnO 3 without significantly altering the crystal structure. A series of Yb-doped Y 1- x Yb x MnO 3 ( x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 1) materials were synthesized via conventional solid-phase reaction. The effects of Yb doping on the structure, magnetism, and ferroelectricity of h -YMnO 3 were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and corresponding XRD refining results show that as Y 3+ is replaced by Yb 3+ with smaller radii, the cell parameters and cell volume of Y 1- x Yb x MnO 3 decrease, the cell is compressed, and the lattice structure of Y 0.5 Yb 0.5 MnO 3 obtained under the condition of Yb semi-doping changes significantly. Subsequent magnetic and room-temperature ferroelectric test results show that the Y 1- x Yb x MnO 3 series samples have anti-ferromagnetic ground states. In particular, the proper inclination of Mn 3+ ions in the double perovskite structure of Y 0.5 Yb 0.5 MnO 3 generates strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions, resulting in relatively strong antiferromagnetism. The antiferromagnetic Neel temperature (T N ) from 37 K to 41 K. Yb 3+ -induced inclined ferroelectricity enables Y 0.8 Yb 0.2 MnO 3 to achieve the highest ferroelectric polarization of 0.030 µC cm −2 , which is 180 % greater than that of h -YMnO 3 . The results demonstrate that Yb doping plays a crucial role in regulating the structure and multiferroic properties of h -YMnO 3 , offering a novel strategy for developing room-temperature multiferroic materials with robust magneto-electric coupling.

Filled tetragonal tungsten bronze (FTTB) oxides represent a huge family of materials which exhibit rich electric and magnetic functionalities deserving for comprehensive investigations. Recently, some members of this family have established their significance in efficient upconversion (UC) luminescence upon proper rare-earth species doping, while the signal intensity is yet weak. In this work, the UC luminescence of Ba

O 30 codoped by Ho and Yb (BLTN p :Ho–Yb) with different p are studied. The bright UC green emission, red emission, and near-infrared (NIR) emissions, originating from the two-photon energy-transfer process associated with the 5 S 2 → 5 I 8 , 5 F 5 → 5 I 8 , and 5 S 2 → 5 I 7 transitions of Ho 3+ ions, were observed. The luminescence intensity demonstrates remarkable dependence on the A- and B-sites occupation, and the UC green, red, and NIR luminescence can be enhanced for 10, 25, and 10 times, respectively, upon a change of p from 3.5 to 5.0. This dependence is found to be tightly correlated with the crystal field environment, as characterized by the local lattice distortion. This work sheds light onto an alternative strategy to enhance the UC luminescence in this FTTB family.

The asymmetric hexagonal Sr 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F (S-FAP) crystal material is considered to be the most suitable solid state laser gain medium for small laser diode pumping in the future due to its large absorption, emission interface, and long fluorescence lifetime. However, the mediocre optical transmittance of S-FAP transparent ceramics and the degradation of luminescence properties due to the doping of Yb activated ions seriously hinder its application prospects. In view of this, a series of 0.02Yb, xLu: S-FAP (x = 0–0.02) transparent ceramics with excellent optical properties were synthesized by hot pressing sintering. The powder SEM results show that Lu doping has no obvious effect on the morphology, grain size, and dispersion of powder . The linear transmissivity curves show that the ultraviolet (200 nm) and visible (500 nm) transmissivity increase by 54 % and 17 %, respectively, with Lu doping compared with the undoped ceramic samples. The surface SEM of ceramics revealed that Lu 3+ promoted the increase of ceramic grain size significantly. The emission spectrum and fluorescence decay curves at room temperature also show that the emission intensity and fluorescence lifetime of ceramic samples increase significantly with Lu co-doping.

To date, most preparation processes of polycrystalline perovskite films still have to be performed in a glovebox filled with inert gas, limiting the application due to their high cost and complexity. In this work, we exploit a facile processing technique for the preparation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) under ambient conditions by the Yb3+ doping effect for SnO2 electron transfer layer. This remarkable and facile interface doping strategy promotes all-air processed planar PSCs, giving enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 15.69% to 17.31% with a decreasing hysteresis effect. Moreover, the heating and illumination stability of modified devices by virtue of defect suppression located at electron transfer layer (ETL)/perovskite interface has been effectively improved, retaining over 85% of its initial PCE after 7 h heating at 100 °C in ambient condition and 85% of its initial PCE under 7 h continuous light illumination without any encapsulation. Therefore, it is believed that this Yb-doping strategy for SnO2 ETL can provide a novel way of promoting the efficiency and stability of devices prepared in the air.

Model aqueous solutions of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, 100 mg L−1) were electro-oxidized in a homemade container. The electrocatalytic behavior and anodic performance of Ti/SnO2–Sb/Yb–PbO2, Ti/SnO2–Sb–PbO2 and Ti/SnO2–Sb–Yb anodes in sodium electrolytes were compared. The SnO2–Sb/Yb–PbO2 anode demonstrated better electrocatalytic performance compared with the SnO2–Sb–PbO2 and SnO2–Sb–Yb electrodes in terms of both degradation and defluorination. Then a systematic experimental study was designed as follows to analyze the influencing factors: initial concentration of PFOA (10 mg L−1 to 200 mg L−1), current density (1 mA cm−2 to 40 mA cm−2), initial pH value (3 to 11) and electrode distance (5 mm to 20 mm). After a 150 min electrolysis, the optimum reaction conditions were obtained and the degradation and defluorination ratios reached 95.11 ± 3.9% and 75.7 ± 2.8%, respectively. Under the optimum conditions, the degradation of PFOA followed pseudo-first-order kinetics (0.0193 min−1) and the degradation half-life was 35.9 min. The produced F− was measured using a fluoride ion selective electrode, whereas the intermediate PFCAs with short-chain lengths were measured using HPLC-MS. A detailed degradation pathway was proposed in this study by analyzing the intermediates and the recovery of fluoride.

Bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) is a common photocatalyst for degrading organic pollutants. Due to its low charge separation efficiency and narrow band gap, it is difficult to achieve good results in practical applications. By doping ytterbium ions (Yb 3+ ) into BiOBr , its absorption and utilization of visible light can be improved, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic performance. In this study, a simple one-step hydrothermal method was used to prepare Yb-doped BiOBr photocatalysts with enhanced oxygen vacancies (OVs). Yb 0.4 /BiOBr excites molecular oxygen and has a low band gap and a high charge separation efficiency. When tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) is used for photocatalysis, the degradation efficiency can reach 89.38% within 100 min, and the reaction rate constant is 1.47 times that of BiOBr without Yb doping. Finally, the possible degradation pathways and intermediates of TCH were investigated by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). This study provides a new approach for improving the photocatalytic activity of BiOBr.
