Zircon belongs to the tetragonal system and is a positive uniaxial. The typical form shows the ill and the 110 planes. The two orientations selected for luminescence polarization study were the (110) plane, parallel to the basal section and the [100] row. In such cases the axis perpendicular to the (110) plane will be called X. The orientation notation is made according to the so-called Porto notation (Porto et al. 1956). The Xi(ZX2)Xi orientation means that the laser light entered parallel to the Xi axis of the crystal and is polarized in the Z direction, while the emission is collected along the Xi axis with X2 polarization. By polarization spectroscopy with a high spectral resolution (less then 0.1 nm) six lines are observed for the Dq- Fi transition of the Eu-II center instead of the maximum three allowed for an unique site (Fig. 5.12). In Z(XX)Z geometry which corresponds to observation of a-polarized luminescence we... 

The concept of surface plasmon coupled cheluminescence has recently been reported by Geddes and co-workers [18]. The observation of surface plasmon-coupled chemiluminescence (SPCC)[18], where the luminescence from chemically induced electronic excited states couples to sur ce plasmons in a thin continuous metal film has been demonstrated for numerous metals [18]. This technology results in highly directional and polarized emission of the chemiluminescence from the prism side of the thin film in the SPCC geometry, as compared to traditional chemiluminescence isotropic slow-glow. 

Energies in the infrared spectrum are conventionally expressed in wave numbers, which are defined as the number of waves per centimeter, i.e., the reciprocal of the wavelength measured in centimeters. The infrared spectrum extends from 12,500 to 50 cm (i.e., a wavelength of 0.8-200 fjLia.) and the far infrared from 40-10 cm (260 p.m-1 mm), but the upper limit of most commercial instruments is about 200 cm (50 ixm). Spectra are most frequently obtained by absorption and reflection techniques, but polarization, emission, and luminescence are also used (C26). Similar components are used in all types of instrument. Reflection measurements of samples with low transmission are made in the near infrared with a conventional spectrophotometer fitted with a reflec-... 

A particularly interesting study that exemplifies the effect of nano-confinement is one where poly(phenylene vinylene) PPV, a luminescent polymer, was incorporated into the channels formed from these polymerized hexagonal phases [78]. These hexagonal PPV nanocomposites exhibited a significant enhancement in the photoluminescence quantum yields, from ca. 25 to 80%. The origin of this enhancement is ascribed to the prevention of the formation of poorly emissive inter-chain excitonic species as a result of the confinement of the PPV chains into well-defined and well-separated nanochannels. An important feature of these nanocomposites was that they could be readily processed into thin films and fibres and, more importantly, macroscopic alignment of the channels encapsulating the PPV chains led to polarized emission [79].

The interaction of aspartic acid and other ligands with complexes of Tb " with edta and related ligands has also been studied and association constants determined. The complex formation between Tb " or Eu " and (r)-( — )-l,2-propanediaminetetraacetic add or (r,r)-trons-1,2-cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid has been similarly investigated. The pH dependence of the circularly polarized and total luminescence shows a drastic configurational change of the chelate system at pH 10.5-11, corresponding, it is believed, to formation of hydroxide complexes. Tlie technique of magnetic-field-induced circularly polarized emission has been introduced for lanthanide ions the mechanisms of lanthanide transition intensities are also discussed in the paper. 

This is the consequence of photoselective excitation of luminophores by polarized light, which selectively excites a population of molecules oriented with respect to the electrical vector of excitation. Emission also occurs with the light polarized along a fixed axis in the luminophore. The angle between these moments determines the maximal polarization of fluorescence. - Luminescence polarization is defined as follows ... 

A large amount of work has been published on Re complexes of the general type [(L)Re(CO)3(a-diimine)] +. These complexes exhibit Re —> (diimine) MLCT emission at room temperature in solution and the emission energy can be tuned by variation of the diimine, ancillary ligand, L, and solvent. Several reviews have appeared that discuss the luminescence behavior of these complexes. " Recently, detailed temperature-dependent luminescence measurements have been made on several methylated phenanthroline (w-phen) complexes of the type [ClRe(CO)3( i-phen)] the emission from the complexes was comprised of components from the MLCT and m-phen localized tt-tt states. Emission from this class of chromophores has been plied recently to immunoassays based on luminescence polarization of Re diimine complexes and the development of unique luminescent arylethynylene polymers. ... 

In this article we will refer to the measurement of the net circrrlar polarization in the luminescence as Circularly Polarized Luminescence and rrse the acrortym CPL. This is now the most widely rrsed term to describe this spectroscopic technique, but in the older literature one finds circularly polarized emission (CPE), emission circrrlar intensity differentials (ECID), or the somewhat more specific terms of circrrlarly polarized fluorescence (CPF) or circularly...

The first two chapters of this work cover theoretical and practical aspects of the emission process, the spectroscopic techniques and the equipment used to characterize the emission. Chapter 3 introduces and reviews the property of circularly polarized emission, while Chapter 4 reviews the use of lanthanide ion complexes in bioimaging and fluorescence microscopy. Chapter 5 covers the phenomenon of two-photon absorption, its theory as well as applications in imaging, while Chapter 6 reviews the use of lanthanide ions as chemo-sensors. Chapter 7 introduces the basic principles of nanoparticle upconversion luminescence and its use for bioimaging and Chapter 8 reviews direct excitation of the lanthanide ions and the use of the excitation spectra to probe the metal ion s coordination environment in eoordination compounds and biopolymers. Finally, Chapter 9 describes the formation of heterobimetallic complexes, in whieh the lanthanide ion emission is promoted through the hetero-metal.
