The additional irradiation sources with frequencies of 1.04MHz, 0.8MHz and 1.7MHz are individually combined with the main ultrasonic irradiation source with frequency of 28kHz to form bi-frequency ultrasonic irradiation. The intensity of 28kHz irradiation was fixed at 12.5W/cm^2, while the intensity of the ultrasound at the other three frequencies is varied from1 W/cm^2 to 18 W/cm^2. It turns out that under the influence of the bi-frequency irradiation, the fluorescence intensity is obviously greater than the sum of those at individual frequencies. So the frequency of the additional sonication strikingly influences the fluorescence enhancement effect. For example, the fluorescence enhancement effect of 1.04MHz is stronger than that of 1.7MHz, and the enhancement effect of 0.8MHz is further stronger than that of 1.04MHz. Under the sonic intensity of (7.9)W/cm^2, the fluorescence intensity of 1.04MHz is approximately twice that of 1.7MHz while the fluorescence intensity of 0.8MHz is approximately 1.5 times that of 1.04MHz.展开更多

The new complexes Eu（TPA）（TTA）Phen and EUE（TPA）（TTA）4Phen2 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, scanning electron microscope and thermal stability analysis. The results show that the thermal stability of the Eu（Ⅲ） complexes increases in the following order： the mononuclear complex Eu（TTA）3Phen, the binuclear complex EUE（TPA）（TTA）4Phen2, the chain polynuclear complex Eu（TPA）（TTA）Phen. And the formation of the binuclear/polynuclear structure of the new complexes appears to be responsible for the enhancement of their thermal and optical stability. In addition, The fluorescence excitation spectra of these new complexes show more broad excitation bands than that of the complex Eu（TTA）3Phen corresponding to their formation. The enhancement of Eu^3＋ fluorescence in the new complexes can be observed by the addition of Gd^3＋. The bright red luminescent plastics can be obtained when the complex EuGd（TPA）（TTA）4Phen2 is added above 0.5% （mass fraction）.展开更多
