PHOTOCATALYTIC EFFICIENCY STUDIES OF TiO 2 NANOPOWDES<br />

J.Rikveilis, L.Grigorjeva, D.Millers, K.Smits<br />

Experimental results showed that for photocatalytic activity the ratio of anatase to rutile<br />

phase has more significant role than the anatase grain size. The smaller grain size does<br />

not lead to greater performance, possible due to high concentration of surface defects<br />

and electron-hole recombination on surface.<br />

The doping of RE ions lead to anatase grain size decreasing and the photocatalytic<br />

activity decrease.<br />

THE LUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OF PERSISTENT STRONTIUM<br />

ALUMINATE PHOSPHOR PREPARED BY SOLAR INDUCES SOLID STATE<br />

SYNTHESIS<br />

V.Liepina, K.Smits, D.Millers, L.Grigorjeva, C.Monty<br />

A novel method –solar induced solid state synthesis was carried out and luminescence<br />

properties of aluminate phosphor doped with Eu and Dy were studied. The persistent<br />

phosphor was obtained and its properties were compared with prepared by conventional<br />

solid state reaction.<br />

THE ELECTRON BEAM INDUCED SHORT LIVED ABSORPTION IN<br />

PLZT OPTICAL CERAMICS<br />

D.Millers, V.Dimza, L.Grigorjeva, M.Antonova, K.Smits, M.Livins<br />

The short lived absorption induced by a pulsed electron beam in the led-lanthaniumzirconate-titanate<br />

(PLZT) optical ceramic was studied. The measured absorption<br />

spectrum covers 1.1-2.9 eV energy range and consists of several strongly overlapping<br />

peaks. The rise of the absorption is delayed with respect to the excitation pulse, due to<br />
