Annihilation of the persistent luminescence of MAl2O4:Eu by Sm co-doping

The calcium aluminates doped with the Eu²⁺ and Nd³⁺ ions, CaAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺,Nd³⁺, are a novel and efficient persistent luminescence (i.e. afterglow) material. The Nd³⁺ ions were found to enhance the persistent luminescence. Some other R³⁺ co-dopants had similar or opposite, though weaker, effect. The Sm³⁺ (and Yb³⁺) ions suppressed almost completely the persistent luminescence and thermoluminescence of the Eu²⁺ ion. From the UV-excited luminescence and persistent luminescence spectra it was found that the Eu²⁺ ion acts as a luminescent centre with luminescence at the blue (λ_max=440 nm) region. The Sm³⁺ ion was reduced to the divalent state. The thermoluminescence glow curves of the CaAl₂O₄:Eu²⁺,Sm³⁺ material showed that the high-temperature glow peaks, i.e. deep traps, were suppressed almost completely. The Nd:YAG laser-excited high-resolution photoluminescence of the Sm²⁺ ion confirmed that the Eu²⁺ ion occupies only one Ca²⁺ site. Only weak perturbations were observed in the Sm²⁺ site due to the changes in the environment of the Sm²⁺ site.

在硫酸盐掺入稀土元素的研究中, 得到了几种掺入Eu²⁺的碱土金属硫酸盐磷光体MSO₄:Eu²⁺ (M =Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba), 这组磷光体具有与掺入三价稀土离子(Tm³⁺, Dy³⁺, Eu³⁺)的碱土金属硫酸盐截然不同的热释光特性, 热释光三维发光谱中只呈现一个热释光峰, 对γ和βup辐射的热释光剂量响应为线性-亚线性响应. 结果清楚地显现出Eu²⁺对碱土金属阳离子的等价取代而形成的等电子陷阱对这些磷光体的热释光特性起了关键性的作用, Eu²⁺等电子陷阱与基质中的本征缺陷SO₄^2-形成的缺陷复合体作为热释光多阶段过程的基本作用单元, 基本上产生一次作用热释光事件.

Simultaneous excitation of Ce and Eu ions in Tb3Al5O12

Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (YAG:Ce) and Tb₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (TAG:Ce) both show the typical Ce³⁺ ion luminescence of the allowed Ce³⁺ d–f transition. Eu³⁺ codoping, however, reveals different results for both matrices: in YAG:Ce,Eu, only the luminescence of the Ce³⁺ ion occurs by excitation within the Ce³⁺ absorption bands. Here, the Eu³⁺ luminescence cannot be sensitized by the Ce³⁺ ion. But in TAG:Ce,Eu, both Ce³⁺ and Eu³⁺ luminescence are measured at several excitation wavelengths: an excitation within the Tb-sublattice results in both Ce³⁺ and Eu³⁺ luminescence, which is not surprising as an energy transfer from Tb³⁺ to Ce³⁺ and Eu³⁺ is well known in literature. In addition, an excitation in the lowest 5d level of Ce³⁺ delivers Eu³⁺ luminescence at room temperature. This means that the Ce³⁺ ion can be used as a sensitizer in the TAG lattice that transfers its energy via the Tb sublattice to the activator Eu³⁺.     

Al~(3+)掺杂ScVO_4∶Eu~(3+),Bi~(3+)荧光粉的制备及发光性质

采用高温固相法在1 000℃下煅烧6 h合成了Sc VO4∶Eu3+,Bi3+,Al3+荧光粉。使用X射线粉末衍射仪和扫描电镜对样品的结构和形貌进行了表征,采用荧光分光光度计研究了样品的发光性质。用315 nm波长激发Sc VO4∶Eu3+,Bi3+,Al3+样品时,样品在590~620 nm范围内发射强烈的橙红光,最大发射峰位于615nm。少量Al3+的掺入可以增强Sc VO4∶Eu3+,Bi3+荧光粉的发光,而掺入过量Al3+时会使Sc VO4∶Eu3+,Bi3+荧光粉的发光变弱。当Al3+在Sc VO4∶Eu3+,Bi3+中的摩尔分数达到4%时,样品的发光最强且其发光强度较未掺杂Al3+的样品提高了约30%。     

荧光粉CaWO4：Eu3+中WO42-与Eu3+间的能量转递

通过高温固相法分别制备了CaWO₄和CaWO₄:1%Eu³⁺ 样品. 测量了样品不同温度(10–300 K)的荧光光谱、荧光衰减曲线和 时间分辨荧光光谱. 样品的荧光光谱表明: 在240 nm紫外光激发下, 两个样品在430 nm处都展现出来源于WO₄^2-的蓝色发射; 样品CaWO₄:Eu³⁺的Eu³⁺(⁵D₀→⁷F_{1, 2, 3,4})的特征发射则归属于WO₄^2-到Eu³⁺ 间的能量传递.由样品室温(300K)荧光衰减曲线发现: 纯CaWO₄的荧光寿命为8.85μs,Eu³⁺掺杂之后WO₄^2-的荧光寿命缩短至6.27μs,这从另一方面证明了WO₄^2-与Eu³⁺间能量传递的存在. 由荧光寿命得到T=300K时, CaWO₄: 1%Eu³⁺中WO₄^2-与Eu³⁺间的能量传递效率(η_ET)为29.2%, 能量传递速率(ω_ET)为4.65×10⁴ s^-1.通过时间分辨荧光光谱, 获得了从WO₄^2-到Eu³⁺之间的能量传递的时间演变过程,当温度由10 K增加到300 K时, 能量传递出现的时间单调变小. 测试了不同温度(10–300 K)对CaWO₄:Eu³⁺的荧光寿命的影响, 发现在10–50K时,Eu³⁺的荧光寿命增加, 但温度超过50K时发生猝灭, 荧光寿命开始下降; WO₄^2-的荧光寿命则是随着温度的升高逐渐缩短. 关键词： 能量传递 红色荧光粉 温度依赖 4：Eu³⁺')" href="#">CaWO₄：Eu³⁺

The effects of deep trap population on the thermoluminescence of Al2O3:C

The influence of deep traps on the 450 K thermoluminescence (TL) peak of Al₂O₃:C is studied. Depending upon the sample and on the degree of deep trap filling, features such as the TL width, area and height can vary considerably. These effects are interpreted to be due to: (a) sensitivity changes introduced by competition mechanisms involving deep electron and hole traps, and (b) the multiple component nature of the 450 K TL peak. The influence of the deep traps on the TL was studied using different excitation sources (beta irradiation or UV illumination), and step annealing procedures. Optical absorption measurements were used to monitor the concentration of F- and F⁺-centers. The data lead to the suggestion that the competing deep traps which become unstable at 800–875 K are hole traps, and that the competing deep traps which become unstable at 1100–1200 K are electron traps. Both the dose response of the TL signal and the TL sensitivity are shown to be influenced by sensitization and desensitization processes caused by the filling of deep electron and hole traps, respectively. Changes in the TL peak at low doses were also shown to be connected to the degree of filling of deep traps, emphasizing the influence of deep trap concentration and dose history of each sample in determining the TL properties of the material. Implications of these results for the optically stimulated luminescence properties are also discussed.     

Cr-related centers in Gd3Ga5O12 polycrystals

The luminescence excitation spectra, emission spectra under photo- and X-ray excitation, luminescence decay kinetics and thermostimulated luminescence (TSL) of Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂ garnet (GGG) polycrystalline samples have been investigated. It was established that the spectrum of Cr³⁺ ion emission were present in all TSL peaks. The activation energies of traps that are responsible for appearance of TSL in the region 295-600 K were estimated. It is shown that delocalization of electrons from the Cr³⁺e traps leads to the appearance of thermoluminescence (TL) glow peak at 390 K. The nature of other TSL peaks is discussed. The influence of visible light on the TSL intensity of the preliminary X-ray-irradiated samples is shown.     

蓝色长余辉材料Sr2MgSi2O7：Eu2+,Dy3+及其基质的VUV-UV激发特性

Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺是一种有效的蓝色长余辉材料,采用高温固相法合成了Sr₂MgSi₂O₇,Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Dy³⁺,Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺及Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺,利用同步辐射研究了它们的VUV-UV激发特性.在真空紫外光激发下,在基质中发现了稍弱的位于385nm的发射带,在双掺杂的样品中,除了Eu²⁺的4f5d→4f发射带(465nm)外,还观察到了575nm处的发射峰;通过和Dy³⁺单掺杂样品的发射谱比较,发现它是来自于Dy³⁺的4f-4f(⁴F_9/2→6H_13/2)跃迁.在它们的激发谱上可以看出Dy³⁺与基质发射的有效激发均处于真空紫外区,在近紫外及可见区激发下未见到它们发光.另外在Sr₂MgSi₂O₇:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺中观察到Dy³⁺的发射也说明了Dy³⁺在该类长余辉材料中不仅作为陷阱用来延长余辉,而且也以发光中心形式存在于基质中.

Two- and three-photon excitation of Gd in CaAl12O19

We have employed two-photon excitation to study the higher energy levels of Gd³⁺ ions in CaAl₁₂O₁₉ and we compare the results with those obtained using conventional UV excitation techniques. Under two-photon excitation, the luminescence intensity exhibits an unusual temporal behavior, a very long build-up followed by a decrease by orders of magnitude, ascribed to a recombination-assisted luminescence excitation mechanism assuming photo-ionization of Gd³⁺ ions and trapping of free electrons on deep traps.

We also find that the two-photon excitation spectra contain an additional broadening contribution which can be attributed to homogeneous broadening of excitation levels caused by excited state absorption into the conduction band. We believe that this may be a general phenomenon whenever participating photons produce ionization of impurity ions from metastable excited states. The phenomenon can manifest itself also in two-photon ionization spectral hole burning and in up-conversion processes (in the latter case, the homogeneous broadening can be caused by an intra-ion excited-state absorption).
