A recent paper [Y. Q. Zhang, B. J. Chen, S. Xu, X. P. Li, J. S. Zhang, J. S. Sun, X. Q. Zhang, H. P. Xia and R. N. Hua, A universal approach for calculating the Judd–Ofelt parameters of RE3+ in powdered phosphors and its application for the β-NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+ phosphor derived from auto-combustion-assisted fluoridation, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2018, 20, 15876–15883] used the Er3+/Yb3+:β-NaYF4 phosphor as an example to demonstrate a method used for evaluating Judd–Ofelt parameters of rare-earth-ion-doped powder. The method is actually established on the basis of a measured diffuse reflectance spectrum and fluorescence lifetime of Er3+ emission at 1.5 μm. The paper compared the Judd–Ofelt parameters obtained from two least-squares fitting processes with and without inclusion of two strong Er3+ absorption transitions from 4I15/2 to 2H11/2 and 4G11/2, and erroneously concluded that the values of the Judd–Ofelt parameters depend mainly on the majority of transitions with even weak intensities rather than on a few strong transitions. We have repeated the two fitting processes and the reverse conclusion has been made. Moreover, we have studied the effects of the transitions selected for the analysis and comprehensive explanations are given for the effects. In addition, the previously reported methods, including the aforementioned one, are reviewed, compared and discussed in detail.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
