Study of the ionoluminescence behavior of the gemstones: Beryl (aquamarine variety), opal, and topaz
2016, Journal of LuminescenceCitation Excerpt :Moreover, the maximum electronic stopping power ((dE/dx)max) of the ion beam is almost five times greater than that of the electron beam. Therefore, since the energy density in IBIL is much higher than that of CL, it can observe more minerals, including the weakly luminescent ones, and it also provides a greater excitation rate, which leads to a better signal to noise ratio, especially for the samples of low radiative recombination probabilities [5]. It should be mentioned that according to the ESTAR limitation, the maximum stopping values correspond to the possible minimum electron beam energy of E=1 keV, which is ascribed to the sample surface.

2012, Journal of LuminescenceCitation Excerpt :Since visible light results from outer shell transitions, it gives information about the nature of chemical bonds in the materials. IBIL is sensitive to the local chemical environment of compounds and trace substitutes and the microstructures of the network [11–15]. IL spectroscopy is a very useful technique for understanding material phenomena such as radiation matter interaction, impurity characterization, local symmetry studies, origin, color and provenance studies of minerals [16].
Hyper-spectral ionoluminescence system for minerals and fluid inclusions
2011, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and AtomsCitation Excerpt :As a first step towards fluid inclusion analysis, a pilot study on common hosts is an important prerequisite since these signals may overlap/confuse any daughter signal. The system is similar in principle to that used by others [30–32] including that of Bettiol et al. [33], the group at LABEC in Italy [30] and more recently, the one used by Del Castillo et al. for mineral analyses [34–36]. The system has initially been designed with the recording of hyper-spectral data cubes (x, y, S(λ)) in mind: specific mineral signatures and correlation with existing CL mineral databases requires this approach.
Ion beam-induced luminescence and photoluminescence of 100 MeV Si<sup>8+</sup> ion irradiated kyanite single crystals
2008, Solid State CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :An ion beam is used to excite atoms in a target, and visible light emitted from the target material is analyzed with a spectrometer. Since, the visible light is emitted from outer-shell transitions, IBIL can be used to get information about the nature of chemical bonds as well as defects and impurities present in ppm levels [1–5]. On the other hand, in the conventional ion beam analytical techniques such as Particle induced X-rays Emission (PIXE), Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Nuclear reaction methods (NRA), it can measure only the elements without any information about chemical states.
