Temperature dependence of luminescence emission from cerium and europium doped MgO under x-ray excitation

Temperature dependence of luminescence emission from cerium- and europiumdoped MgO is reported. The emission intensity changes with increase in the phosphor temperature. The phosphor showed peaks in the brightness-temperature curves. The intensities at static temperatures were always lower, indicating that temperature quenching occurs in almost all cases. The same is also evident from spectral distribution curves obtained at different temperatures.     

Ce activated potassium bromide phosphor for lyoluminescence dosimetry of ionizing radiation

The lyoluminescence (LL) properties of gamma irradiated KBr:Ce phosphor are reported in this paper. The samples were prepared by wet chemical route. The prepared material was characterized by lyoluminescence technique. LL in KBr:Ce have been recorded for different gamma doses. The nature of variation of peak LL intensity is found to be sublinear with gamma irradiation dose, and the peak LL intensity is found to be dependent on concentrations of added Ce in the samples. Negligible fading in the prepared KBr:Ce (0.5 mol%) sample is observed.     

Mechanoluminescence and lyoluminescence characterization of Li2BaP2O7:Eu phosphor

In this work mechanoluminescence and lyoluminescence properties of Li₂BaP₂O₇: Eu phosphor are reported. Phosphor was synthesized through high temperature solid state diffusion method. Analysis of phosphor was made through various characterization techniques such as mechanoluminescence (ML), lyoluminescence (LL), x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). It was observed that ML intensity showed good enhancement with variation in time, concentration of dopant Eu, mass of piston and impact velocity. Lyoluminescence intensity was also found to increase with change in time and mass of the sample. Variation in gamma doses imparted to Li₂BaP₂O₇: Eu phosphor was observed to affect both the ML and LL intensities' respectively. Both the ML and LL intensity attain a maximum value I_m at a particular time t_m but afterwards, it decreases and finally disappears. Morphology of Li₂BaP₂O₇: Eu luminescent material was also studied using scanning electron microscope technique. The average particle size in Eu doped lithium barium diphosphate phosphor was around 2 μm.     

Luminescence studies on rγ-ray-irradiated Dy3+-activated sodium chloride phosphor for radiation dosimetry

The lyoluminescence (LL), thermoluminescence and mechanoluminescence (ML) of a γ -ray-irradiated powder of NaCl:Dy (0.05–0.5 mol%) phosphor are reported in this paper. The nature of intensity variation of the respective luminescence spectra with different γ -ray doses and with different concentrations of Dy³⁺ doped in NaCl are found to be similar. The LL and ML intensities differed from each other, but their nature is found to be similar in a sublinear form up to a high dose (5.0 kGy) of γ -rays. Thus, the prepared phosphor may be useful for accidental radiation dosimetry up to a high dose (5.0 kGy) of γ -rays using the LL and ML techniques.     

Experimental study of a BaFBr:Eu image plate detector depending on dose,spectrum of pulse X-ray source,and scan number

The possibility of application of phosphor with memory effect for X-ray recording of fast (explosive) processes has been studied. Four different radiation sources were used in the series of experiments carried out. To obtain numerical X-ray images, a detector based on BaFBr:Eu Image Plate phosphor was used. It has been found that the summation of results of several scans after single exposition allows improving the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of the readable signal. Spectra of pulse X-ray devices have been calculated on the base of calibration curves of radiation attenuation for different materials. Preliminary experiments on the registration of explosive processes have been conducted.     

Thermally stable deep-blue Ba1.2Ca0.8SiO4:Ce phosphor for white-light-emitting diode

A novel deep-blue phosphor, Ba_1.2Ca_0.8SiO₄:Ce³⁺, has been developed for white-light-emitting diodes. The phosphor exhibits two absorption bands at 280 and 325 nm, and an intense deep-blue emission peaking at 400 nm. With increasing Ce/Li concentrations, the lattice expands, and the emission peak is blueshifted. This correlation is explained in terms of the crystal field effect and the configurational coordinate diagram. This phosphor shows much higher thermal quenching temperature (225 °C) due to a weak electron-phonon interaction. Thus, it can be used as a sensitizer phosphor to excite other green or red phosphors, or a promising deep-blue phosphor for white-light-emitting diodes.     

On the luminescence of TlCl+KCl phosphor

The measurements on the luminescence spectra of TlCl+KCl mixed phosphor under low energy cathode rays at 80° K have been presented here. The reflectance as well as excitation spectra of this mixed phosphors have also been studied. The X-ray diffraction studies of the samples along with the optical studies show that the mixed phosphor consists of two phases: (1) KCl:Tl (2) TlCl:K. It has been observed that the emission bands due to thallous chloride are gradually quenched with the increase in potassium chloride content of the phosphor; further, the emission bands supposed to be due to KCl:Tl phosphors gradually appear. Since some of the emission bands obtained with KCl:Tl phosphors at high thallium content are also present in the luminescence spectra of thallous chloride it is suggested that such bands should be attributed to undissociated thallous chloride present in KCl:Tl phosphor. The quenching of thallous chloride emission by the incorporation of potassium chloride in the system has been explained as being due to the absence of stoichiometric excess of thallium in such mixed system. The results also show that the absorption spectra of the mixed system is determined by the minor components KCl:Tl. This indicates that the absorption spectra of KCl:Tl phosphor should not be affected by the presence of undissociated thallous chloride.     

Y2O2S:Sm3+发光材料在不同激发波长的浓度特征

研究了在不同激发波长下三价钐离子掺杂硫氧化钇的发光强度对浓度的依赖关系。研究发现磷光体的发光强度不仅跟激活离子的浓度有关,而且跟激发时所采用的不同激发波长有关。磷光体发光强度与激活剂掺杂量的变化曲线表明,在不同激发路径下磷光体具有不同的发光性质。采用Sm^3 离子直接跃迁的413nm对样品进行激发时,发生猝灭的浓度低至约0．2mol％;当采用263nm高能紫外线激发时,浓度猝灭发生在较高浓度处(～2mol％),后者是前者的10倍。对Sm^3 离子发射强度与浓度关系曲线进行了拟合计算,结果表明Sm^3 在Y2O2S中浓度猝灭的原因主要是相邻中心的偶极-四极相互作用引起的交叉弛豫。

Light emission efficiency and imaging properties of YAP:Ce granular phosphor screens

Phosphor materials are used in medical imaging combined with radiographic film or other photodetectors. Cerium (Ce³⁺) -doped scintillators are of particular interest for medical imaging, because of their very fast response. YAP:Ce scintillator-based image detectors have already been evaluated in single-crystal form and under conditions of positron emission tomography and synchrotron or γ-ray irradiation. Furthermore, YAP:Ce phosphor has been evaluated in conjunction with radiographic films. The present work reports experimental and theoretical data concerning the light output absolute luminescence efficiency (AE) of the YAP:Ce screens under irradiation conditions employed in medical X-ray projection imaging (i.e., in diagnostic radiology). projection imaging (i.e., in diagnostic radiology). YAP:Ce phosphor screens with surface densities ranging between 53 and 110 mg/cm² were prepared by sedimentation on fused silica substates in our laboratory. The resulted surface density of the screens was determined by dividing the phosphor mass deposited on the screen surface with the area of the surface. Additionally this work addresses the imaging performance of YAP:Ce by estimation of the detective quantum efficiency (DQE), i.e., the square of the signal to noise ratio transfer. Absolute efficiency was found to decrease with X-ray tube voltage for for YAP:Ce phosphor. The highest experimental efficiency was obtained for the 53.7 mg/cm² and 88.0 mg/cm² YAP:Ce screens. The highest DQE value was found for the 88.0 mg/cm² screen irradiated at 60 kVp. PACS 81.05.Zx; 87.59.-e; 87.57.Ce

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Na2Ba2Si2O7:Eu2+ phosphor

Green-emitting phosphor Na₂Ba₂Si₂O₇:Eu²⁺ has been synthesized by a conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction. The phase structure and luminescence properties are characterized by the X-ray powder diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectra, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, temperature-dependent emission spectra, respectively. It can be efficiently excited in the wavelength range of 325–400 nm and consists of a strong broad green band centered at about 501 nm, which is ascribed to 4f⁶6s⁰5d¹ → 4f⁷6s²5d⁰ transition of Eu²⁺. The critical quenching concentration of Eu²⁺ in the Na₂Ba₂Si₂O₇ host is about 0.8 mol % and corresponding quenching behavior is ascribed to be electric dipole–dipole interaction. Furthermore, the phosphor has good thermal stability property, and the activation energy for thermal quenching is calculated as 0.34 eV.

Impurity-induced coherent current oscillations in one-dimensional conductors

The electronic transport through a single impurity in a repulsive Luttinger liquid (LL) has been theoretically studied. It has been found that the direct current Ī above the threshold voltage related to the strength of the impurity potential is accompanied by coherent oscillations with frequency f= Ī/e. There is an analogy with the Josephson junctions: the well-known regime of the power-law I−V curves in the LL corresponds to the damping of the Josephson current below the critical one, while the oscillatory regime in the LL can be compared with the Josephson oscillations above the critical current.
