LaOBr:Ce,Tb中Ce3+对Tb3+发光的影响

近年来人们对LaOBr:Tb的合成及其发光特性的研究日益增多。LaOBr:Tb不仅是良好的X光增感屏材料,也是较好的阴极射线发光材料。为了进一步提高它的亮度,降低了b的含量(因Tb很贵),寻求LaOBr中Tb3+发光的敏化剂是很重要的。     

LaOBr:Ce3+,Tb3+中Ce3+与Tb3+间能量传递

本文利用毫微秒技术在ns秒量级测量了不同浓度组分的LaOBr:Ce3+,Tb3+中Ce3+发射带的衰减常数τCe值和时间分辨光谱,确立了Ce3到Tb3+能量传递过程模型,建立了动力学方程和导出能量传递的计算公式。据此计算出Ce3+到Tb3+的能量传递几率和效率,得出Ce3+,Tb3+的最佳浓度。     

CaS:Ce,Tb中Tb3+到Ce3+的能量传递

本文通过发射光谱、激发光谱和发光的衰减特性,研究了三价稀土离子Ce3+和Tb3+在CaS基质中的相互作用。实验结果表明,在CaS中Tb3+敏化了Ce3+的发光,监测Ce3+的发光(505nm),在激发光谱中出现Tb3+中心特征辐射的激发带。而且在CaS:Ce、Tb中,Ce3+中心的发光衰减变慢,衰减后期的慢成份正是反映了能量施主Tb3+的衰减特性,证明在CaS:Ce、Tb中存在着Tb3+到Ce3+的能量传递。     

Energy transfer in CaSiO3 phosphors doped with Ce3+ and Tb3+

Calcium metasilicate phosphors activated by Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ have been studied for their emission characteristics. In two series of phosphors, one activator was kept at its optimum value while the other was varied. In another two series, one activator was kept below its optimum value and the other was varied. Concentration quenching effects start when each activator gives its maximum emission. There is clear evidence of an energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ because the⁵ D ₃ lines appear on addition of Ce³⁺ while they were conspicuously absent when Tb³⁺ alone was present. Their absence in singly activated phosphors could not have been due to cross-relaxation. Obviously X-ray excitation does not lead to⁵ D ₃ transitions which are achieved only by energy transfer. Further, considering the features of the emission spectra and the concentrations of activators used, the transfer could only be of the dipole-dipole type.

Scintillation properties of Ce3+-doped YCl3 and YBr3

The dependence of the scintillation properties of Ce³⁺-doped YCl₃ and YBr₃ on activator concentration (0.5, 1 and 2 mol%) has been studied. The radioluminescence spectra of both materials contain asymmetric bands with maxima located at 3.13 eV (383 nm) for YCl₃:Ce³⁺ and 2.84 eV (422 nm) for YBr₃:Ce³⁺. The scintillation pulse decay curves for both materials are described by two components with decay constants of 37 and 640 ns for YCl₃:Ce³⁺ and 36 and 450 ns for YBr₃:Ce³⁺, the fractions of the faster component being 86 and 79 per cent, respectively. The dependences of the light yield of the studied materials on Ce³⁺ concentration pass through a maximum near 1 mol% of the activator, and the maximum light yields (relative to NaI:Tl) are 8700 photons per MeV for YCl₃:Ce³⁺ and 20,600 photons per MeV for YBr₃:Ce³⁺.     

Ce~(3+)和Tb~(3+)掺杂钆-钡-硅酸盐闪烁玻璃的发光性能

采用高温熔融法制备Ce~(3+)或Tb~(3+)单掺和Ce~(3+)/Tb~(3+)共掺钆-钡-硅酸盐闪烁玻璃。通过透射光谱、光致激发和发射光谱、X射线激发发射光谱及荧光衰减曲线等手段对其发光性能进行研究。实验结果表明:在紫外光的激发下,Tb~(3+)掺杂闪烁玻璃发出明亮的绿光(544 nm),而Ce~(3+)掺杂闪烁玻璃发出蓝紫光。对于Ce~(3+)/Tb~(3+)共掺闪烁玻璃,在紫外光和X射线激发下均观察到Ce~(3+)离子敏化Tb~(3+)离子发光的现象,这是由于存在Ce~(3+)→Tb~(3+)的能量转移。Ce~(3+)/Tb~(3+)共掺闪烁玻璃的最佳Ce2O3掺杂摩尔分数为0.2%,此时Ce~(3+)离子向Tb~(3+)离子的能量传递效率为45.7%。在X射线激发下,Ce_2O_3摩尔分数为0.2%的Ce~(3+)/Tb~(3+)共掺闪烁玻璃在544 nm处的发光强度是Bi_4Ge_3O_(12)(BGO)闪烁晶体在500 nm处发光强度的4.2倍,积分闪烁效率达到BGO晶体的55.6%,这有利于在高分辨率医学成像中降低辐射剂量。

Ce3+在LiBaBO3中的发光特性及晶体学格位

采用固相法制备了LiBaBO3:Ce3+发光材料.测得LiBaBO3:Ce3+材料的发射光谱为一不对称的单峰宽谱,主峰位于440 nm;监测440 nm发射峰,可得其激发光谱为一主峰位于370 nm的宽谱.利用van Uitert公式计算了Ce3+取代LiBaBO3中Ba2+时所占晶体学格位,得出438 nm发射带归属于九配位的Ce3+发射,而469 nm发射带起源于八配位的Ce3+发射.研究了Ce3+浓度对LiBaBO3:Ce3+材料发光强度的影响,结果显示,随Ce3+浓度的增大,发光强度呈现先增大后减小的趋势,Ce3+浓度为3mol%时强度最大,造成其浓度猝灭的原因为电偶极-偶极相互作用.引入Li+,Na+或K+可增强LiBaBO3:Ce3+材料的发射强度.利用InGaN管芯(370 nm)激发LiBaBO3:Ce3+材料,获得了很好的蓝白光发射,色坐标为(x=0.291,y=0.297).
