Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents the results of measuring the luminescence spectra, luminescence excitation spectra and luminescence spectra under high pressures for LaAlO3:Pr with concentration of 1%. The materials were synthesized by solid phase synthesis. Diffraction pattern is fully relates to LaAlO3 phase. The photoluminescence spectra show the main energy transitions. The change in the position of the main bands under the hydrostatic pressure of 23, 55, 160 and 191 kBar was demonstrated. The main band at 491 nm is slightly red-shifted, while the line at 605 nm is shifted to the high-energy part of the spectrum. The intensity of all bands increases with increasing hydrostatic pressure. The dynamics of changes in the intensities of maxima and emissions from different transitions are analyzed. Studies of luminescence under high hydrostatic compression are important in observing changes in the internal structure and electronic states of materials under the influence of high pressure, studying internal processes such as recombination of electrons and holes, transitions between energy levels and the release of photons. Understanding the changes that occur under compression can help researchers develop new materials with unique properties.
