  • Phosphorescence Quantum Yield determination with time-gated fluorimeter and Tb(III)-acetylacetonate as luminescence reference
    Chemical Physics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Alfons Penzkofer
    Abstract:

    Abstract Phosphorescence Quantum Yield measurements of fluorescent and phosphorescent samples require the use of time-gated fluorimeters in order to discriminate against the fluorescence contribution. As reference standard a non-fluorescent luminescent compound is needed for absolute Phosphorescence Quantum Yield determination. For this purpose the luminescence behavior of the rare earth chelate terbium(III)-acetylacetonate (Tb(acac)3) was studied (determination of luminescence Quantum Yield and luminescence lifetime). The luminescence Quantum Yield of Tb(acac)3 was determined by using an external light source and operating the fluorimeter in chemo/bioluminescence mode with a fluorescent dye (rhodamine 6G in methanol) as reference standard. A procedure is developed for absolute luminescence (Phosphorescence) Quantum Yield determination of samples under investigation with a time-gated fluorimeter using a non-fluorescent luminescent compound of known luminescence Quantum Yield and luminescence lifetime.

  • room temperature Phosphorescence lifetime and Quantum Yield of erythrosine b and rose bengal in aerobic alkaline aqueous solution
    Journal of Luminescence, 2012
    Co-Authors: Alfons Penzkofer, Max Simmel, Dieter Riedl
    Abstract:

    Abstract The room-temperature Phosphorescence behavior of erythrosine B (ER) and rose bengal (RB) in aerobic aqueous solution at pH 10 (10−4 M NaOH) is investigated. The samples were excited with sliced second harmonic pulses of a Q-switched Nd:glass laser. A gated photomultiplier tube was used for instantaneous fluorescence signal discrimination and a digital oscilloscope was used for signal recording. For Phosphorescence lifetime measurement the oscilloscope response time was adjusted to appropriate time resolution and sensitivity by the ohmic input resistance. In the case of Phosphorescence Quantum Yield determination the gated photomultiplier – oscilloscope arrangement was operated in integration mode using 10 MΩ input resistance. Phosphorescence Quantum Yield calibration was achieved with erythrosine B and rose bengal doped starch films of known Quantum Yields. The determined Phosphorescence lifetimes (Quantum Yields) of ER and RB in 0.1 mM NaOH are τP=1.92±0.1 μs (ϕP=(1.5±0.3)×10−5) and 2.40±0.1 μs ((5.7±0.9)×10−5), respectively. The results are discussed in terms of triplet state deactivation by dissolved molecular oxygen.

  • Photoluminescence properties of fluorone dyes in bio-related films at low temperatures
    Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A-chemistry, 2011
    Co-Authors: Taiju Tsuboi, Alfons Penzkofer, E. A. Slyusareva, A. Sizykh
    Abstract:

    Abstract The fluorescence and Phosphorescence behavior of the fluorone dyes disodium fluorescein (uranine), 4,5-dibromofluorescein, eosin Y, erythrosine B, and rose bengal in biofilms of chitosan, gelatin, and starch was studied in the temperature range from 293 K to 12 K. Luminescence Quantum Yields, fluorescence Quantum Yields, and triplet Quantum Yields were determined. The fluorescence Quantum Yield generally increased with lowering the temperature at a high level of absolute Quantum Yield, while the Phosphorescence Quantum Yield increased with decreasing temperature at a low level of absolute Quantum Yield. The strongest Phosphorescence was found for erythrosine B in starch where the Phosphorescence Quantum Yield increased from 6% at 293 K to 25% at 12 K. The temperature dependent luminescence behavior is discussed considering radiative and non-radiative transitions in a spectroscopic-state potential energy surface scheme.

  • Excitation-energy dependence of the Phosphorescence Quantum Yields of pyridinecarboxaldehyde vapors.
    Spectrochimica acta. Part A Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 2008
    Co-Authors: Takao Itoh
    Abstract:

    Emission and excitation spectra of 3- and 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde vapors have been measured at different pressures down to 10(-2)Torr. The Phosphorescence Quantum Yield measured at low pressure as a function of excitation energy is nearly constant in the range of excitation energy corresponding to the S1(n, pi*) state, but it decreases abruptly at the S2(pi, pi*) threshold. The onset of the abrupt decrease of the Yield corresponds to the location of the S2 absorption origin of each molecule, indicating that the nonradiative pathway depends on the type of the excited singlet state to which the molecule is initially excited. The relaxation processes are discussed based on the pressure and excitation-energy dependence of the Phosphorescence Quantum Yield.

  • Photophysical processes in quinoxaline vapor at low pressure.
    Spectrochimica acta. Part A Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 2003
    Co-Authors: Takao Itoh
    Abstract:

    Abstract Excitation and pressure dependence of fluorescence and Phosphorescence Quantum Yields has been reinvestigated in detail for quinoxaline in the static vapor phase at pressure range from 10 −3 to 10 −1 Torr. It is shown that the ratio of the nonradiative rate from T 1 (π, π*) to the rate of the S 1 (n, π*)∼→T 1 (π, π*) intersystem crossing decreases with increasing the excitation energy in the S 0 →S 1 excitation region. The Phosphorescence Quantum Yield measured as a function of the excitation energy at low pressure shows an abrupt decrease on going the excitation from S 0 →S 1 to S 0 →S 2 , indicating the slow vibrational energy redistribution between the S 1 levels optically populated and those populated through the internal conversion from S 2 to S 1 .
