Abstract

Poled hybrid siloxane-oxide coatings synthesized through hydrolysis and condensation of Si(OMe)₄ and TDSP precursors leads to SHG values of 10 pm/V. The glass transition temperatures of the hybrid coatings increase with the TMOS content and the thermal curing time. These modifications related to increases in the condensation and crosslinking degree of siloxane and silica species have a strong influence on the relaxation behavior of the NLO chromophores grafted in these hybrid networks. Hybrid organic inorganic nano composites made of metal oxo-polymers (zirconium and neodymium oxo species) linked to siloxane species [(CH₃)Si-O_3/2] exhibit Nd³⁺ luminescence properties. At low rare earth concentrations the emission lifetime is mainly governed by some energy transfer processes occurring between the Nd³⁺ ions. While for higher Nd³⁺ concentrations the emission lifetime is controlled by Nd-Nd interactions and by an increase of the quenching probability due to the presence of some residual hydroxy groups.
