Resumo
O processo sol-gel permite a produção de materiais Híbridos Orgânicos/Inorgânicos para aplicações em óptica e fotônica. Materiais Híbridos de Sílica/orgânico unem propriedades da Sílica e dos polímeros orgânicos e permitem a incorporação de diversas moléculas orgânicas na matriz, possibilitando a obtenção de materiais fotoativos avançados. Destas moléculas destacam-se os corantes lasers, como a Rodamina-B, que possui comprimento de onda de emissão bem definido e alta eficiência quântica. Neste trabalho preparamos materiais híbridos de sílica/orgânico via processo sol-gel utilizando como precursores os alcóxidos de silício 3-glicidoxipropiltrimetoxisilano (GPTS) e tetraetilortosilicato (TEOS). Amostras ainda na fase de sol foram dopadas com Rodamina-B em concentrações variando de 0,01 a 5 mmol/L. A fluorescência das amostras foi caracterizada mostrando dependência entre as características da emissão e a concentração de dopante. Os espectros de fluorescência sofrem um deslocamento para a região do vermelho com o aumento da concentração do dopante, enquanto a intensidade de emissão apresenta maior valor para a amostra com concentração de 0,5 mmol/L. Também foram determinados os coeficientes de absorção óptica, que apresentaram comportamento linear com a concentração. A partir das amostras (sol) foram produzidos xerogéis com concentrações de Rodamina-B de 0,0386 a 19,3 mmol/L. Os espectros de fluorescência destes xerogéis também apresentaram deslocamento para a região do vermelho para maiores concentrações de dopante, a intensidade de emissão é máxima para o xerogel com concentração de 6,56 mmol/L. Os coeficientes de absorção óptica dos xerogéis apresentaram um comportamento linear com a concentração de dopante. O xerogel com concentração de 19,3 mmol/L de Rodamina-B apresentou emissão de laser randômico quando excitado com laser pulsado (532 nm, 8ns), fenômeno caracterizado por um estreitamento da banda de emissão devido a dímeros da Rodamina-B em 630 nm. Microscopia eletrônica de transmissão revelou a formação de partículas de Sílica com diâmetro médio de 6,3 nm distribuídas na matriz sólida. Estes resultados são de grande interesse para aplicações em fotônica.
Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials prepared by sol-gel process have applications in different areas such as optics and photonics. Silica/organic hybrid materials combine the properties from the silica and the organic polymers and can be doped with organic molecules with different optical properties, allowing preparation of advanced photoactive materials. In the wide range of photoactive organic materials one of interest is the Rhodamine-B, a laser dye which presents tunable emission and high quantum yield. In this work we have produced hybrid silica/organic samples derived from 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) by sol-gel process. Silica/organic sols were doped with Rhodamine-B concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 5 mmol/L. The fluorescence spectra of the samples were characterized and a relationship between emission characteristics and dopant concentration has been observed. A red shift in the wavelength emission was observed, as the dopant concentration increased and the maximum emission intensity was achieved for the sample with concentration of 0.5mmol/L. Were determined the optical absorption coefficients that showed a linear relation with the concentration. The sol samples were dried and xerogels were obtained and the new concentrations of Rhodamine-B in the solid matrix were determined, ranging from 0.0386 to 19.3 mmol/L. The fluorescence spectra of the xerogels were characterized, showing a red shift as the dopant concentration increased and the maximum emission intensity was achieved for the xerogel with concentration of 6.56 mmol/L. The optical absorption coefficients of these xerogels showed a linear behavior with the dopant concentration. Random laser action for the xerogel with concentration of 19.3 mmol/L was measured using an pulsed laser (532 nm, 8ns), and characterized by a narrowing emission of the Rhodamine-B dimmers emission at 630 nm. Transmission electron microscopy revealed silica particles with 6.3 nm average diameter in the solid matrix. These results are very important for applications in photonics.
