Abstract

Different structure and symmetry of spinel and chrysoberyl influence their luminescence spectra Observed with Raman spectroscopy. Luminescence bands of spinel at 677, 685, 697, 710 a 718 nm were assigned to Cr3+. Luminescence duplet located at 685 and 687 nm belongs to R1 and R2–lines for the Cr3+ ion, the electron transition 2Eg → 4A2g, N1 and N4 at 687 and 700 nm; N3 (689 nm) is weak. Luminescence centers of alexandrite located at 644, 650, 653, 667, 669, 678, 680, 690, 694, 702, 707, and 716 nm were assigned to Cr3+. R–lines assigned to 679 with 677.3 nm, and 694.4 with 691.7 nm, accompanied by N–lines of Cr–Cr pairs. Luminescent duplet of alexandrite at 680 nm is associated with electron transition 2Eg → 4A2g. The R–lines in chrysoberyl are located at 678 nm (Rm–line) a 690 nm (Ri–line). Lower symmetry of the structure and Cr3+–bearing octahedra results in splitting, widening and overlapping of the luminescence bands in spectrum. Spinel with higher symmetry than chrysoberyl has the luminescence spectrum with smaller number of better resolved bands.


Key words: luminescence, Raman Spectroscopy, spin–forbidden transition, spinel, alexandrite
