    L’ouvrage se prĂ©sente essentiellement comme un tissu de contradictions qui apparaissent progressivement au fil des pages. La quatriĂšme de couverture Ă©tait pourtant tout Ă  fait satisfaisante et pouvait faire croire que le contenu l’était aussi, mais on ne tarde pas Ă  dĂ©chanter dĂšs la lecture des « ConsidĂ©rations et remarques prĂ©liminaires de Jean-Charles Coovi Gomez », dont on apprend en note qu’il est directeur de l’Institut d’égyptologie et des civilisations africaines Cheikh Anta Diop.

    La rĂ©action de Victor BissenguĂ© Ă  mon compte rendu a Ă©tĂ© pour moi fort Ă©clairante car je m’attendais qu’il rĂ©ponde aux questions les plus fondamentales que je lui posais. Ainsi, je pensais qu’il allait justifier les erreurs dont sont Ă©maillĂ©es ses citations – un tiers d’items erronĂ©s dans celles-ci, ce n’est pas rien, cela rĂ©duit mĂȘme Ă  nĂ©ant sa dĂ©monstration –, ensuite les “budgets colossaux dont bĂ©nĂ©ficient certaines Ă©quipes de chercheurs”. Pour quelqu’un qui a passĂ© une bonne partie de sa ..

    A First-Principles Explanation of the Luminescent Line Shape of SrLiAl3_3N4_4:Eu2+^{2+} Phosphor for Light-Emitting Diode Applications

    White light-emitting diodes are gaining popularity and are set to become the most common light source in the U.S. by 2025. However, their performance is still limited by the lack of an efficient red-emitting component with a narrow band emission. The red phosphor SrLiAl3_3N4_4:Eu2+^{2+} is among the first promising phosphors with a small bandwidth for next-generation lighting, but the microscopic origin of this narrow emission remains elusive. In the present work, density functional theory, the Δ\DeltaSCF-constrained occupation method, and a generalized Huang-Rhys theory are used to provide an accurate description of the vibronic processes occurring at the two Sr2+^{2+} sites that the Eu2+^{2+} activator can occupy. The emission band shape of Eu(Sr1), with a zero-phonon line at 1.906 eV and a high luminescence intensity, is shown to be controlled by the coupling between the 5dz2_{z^2}-4f electronic transition and the low-frequency phonon modes associated with the Sr and Eu displacements along the Sr channel. The good agreement between our computations and experimental results allows us to provide a structural assignment of the observed total spectrum. By computing explicitly the effect of the thermal expansion on zero-phonon line energies, the agreement is extended to the temperature-dependent spectrum. These results provide insight into the electron-phonon coupling that accompanies the 5d-4f transition in similar UCr4_4C4_4-type phosphors. Furthermore, these results highlight the importance of the Sr channel in shaping the narrow emission of SrLiAl3_3N4_4:Eu2+^{2+}, and they shed new light on the structure-property relations of such phosphors.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
