Efficient fluorescence of dissolved CaF2:Tb and CaF2:Ce, Tb nanoparticles through surface coating sensitization

Oleic acid (OA)-modified CaF₂:Tb³⁺ nanoparticles with various Tb³⁺ concentrations and CaF₂:Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ nanoparticles were synthesized. The as-prepared nanoparticles were shown to be well dissolved in some common organic solvents, such as chloroform and toluene. The nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The investigation of fluorescence properties of CaF₂:Tb³⁺ nanoparticles showed that the Tb³⁺ ions could be sensitized efficiently by the surface coating of OA and CaF₂:Tb³⁺ nanoparticles with 10 mol% Tb³⁺ concentrations possess the highest emission intensity. The comparison of emission for CaF₂:Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ and CaF₂:Tb³⁺ (10 mol%) nanoparticles revealed that the emission intensity of the former is about 4.5 times as strong as that of the latter.     

Effect of Tb3+ concentration on luminescence properties of Ce/Tb/Eu co-doped borosilicate glasses for white LEDs

Ce, Tb and Eu single and ternary doped borosilicate glasses were prepared and effect of Tb³⁺ concentration on luminescence properties of ternary co-doped glasses were analyzed by utilizing emission spectra, excitation spectra, the Commission International de I’Eclairage (CIE) colorimetric system and fluorescence decay curves. The results show that Tb³⁺ concentration significantly affects spectral intensities of ternary co-doped glasses when excited by near ultraviolet (NUV). With the increasing of Tb³⁺ concentration, the blue emission of Ce³⁺ is weakened and the red emission of Eu³⁺ is slightly enhanced. Both the color coordinates and correlated color temperatures (CCTs) can be adjusted by Tb³⁺ concentration. Besides, the energy transfers from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ and from Tb³⁺ to Eu³⁺ were observed. Measured characteristic lifetimes of Tb³⁺ indicate that the energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ tends to predominate in whole process. The studies show that Ce/Tb/Eu ternary doped borosilicate glasses might be promising luminescence materials for NUV pumped white LEDs.     

Green light emission by Ce3+ and Tb3+ co-doped Sr3MgSi2O8 phosphors for potential application in ultraviolet whitelight-emitting diodes

Sr₃MgSi₂O₈:Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ phosphor samples were prepared using a solid-state reaction technique, and the photoluminescence properties and energy transfer were investigated. Effective energy transfer occurred in Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ co-doped Sr₃MgSi₂O₈ phosphors. Co-doping of Ce³⁺ was found to enhance the emission intensity of Tb³⁺ to a certain extent by transferring energy to Tb³⁺. The Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ energy transfer was thoroughly investigated through its emission/excitation spectra and photoluminescence decay behavior. The color emitted by Sr₃MgSi₂O₈:Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ phosphors varied from blue to green and can be controlled by altering the concentration ratio of Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺. These results indicate that Sr₃MgSi₂O₈:Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ may be useful as a green-emitting phosphor for ultraviolet whitelight-emitting diodes.     

Sensitized luminescence through nanoscopic effects of ZnO encapsulated in SiO2:Tb sol gel derived phosphor

Terbium (1 mol%) doped ZnO-SiO₂ binary system was prepared by a sol-gel process. Nanoscopic effects of ZnO on the photoluminescence (PL) and the cathodoluminescence (CL) properties were studied. Defects emission from ZnO nanoparticles was measured at 560 nm and the line emission from Tb³⁺ ions in SiO₂:Tb³⁺ and ZnO-SiO₂:Tb³⁺ with a major peak at 542 nm was measured. The PL excitation wavelength for 542 nm Tb³⁺ emission was measured at ∼320 nm in both SiO₂:Tb³⁺ and ZnO-SiO₂:Tb³⁺. The CL data showed quenched luminescence of the ZnO nanoparticles at 560 nm from a composite of ZnO-SiO₂:Tb³⁺ and a subsequent increase in 542 nm emission from the Tb³⁺ ions. This suggests that energy was transferred from the ZnO nanoparticles to enhance the green emission of the Tb³⁺ ions. The PL and CL properties of ZnO-SiO₂:Tb³⁺ binary system and possible mechanism for energy transfer from the ZnO nanoparticles to Tb³⁺ ions are discussed.     

Ca₂BO₃Cl:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺:A novel tunable emitting phosphor for white light-emitting diode

<正>Ca₂BO₃Cl:Ce³⁺,Ca₂BO₃Cl:Tb³⁺,and Ca₂BO₃Cl:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ phosphors are synthesized by a high temperature solid-state reaction.The emission intensity of Ce³⁺ or Tb³⁺ in Ca₂BO₃Cl is influenced by the Ce³⁺ or Tb³⁺ doping content,and the optimum concentrations of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ are 0.03 mol and 0.05 mol,respectively.The concentration quenching effect of Ce³⁺ or Tb³⁺ in Ca₂BO₃Cl occurs,and the concentration quenching mechanism is d-d interaction for either Ce³⁺ or Tb³⁺.The Ca₂BO₃Cl:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ can produce colour emission from blue to green by properly tuning the relative ratio between Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺,and the emission intensity of Tb³⁺ in Ca₂BO₃Cl can be enhanced by the energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺.The results indicate that Ca₂BO₃Cl:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ may be a promising double emission phosphor for UV-based white light emitting diodes.     

Ultraviolet and visible upconversion emission in Tb3+/Yb3+ co-doped fluorophosphate glasses

Ultraviolet and visible upconversion emissions in Tb³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped YF₃–BaF₂–Ba(PO₃)₂ glasses were observed under 980-nm laser diode excitation. The dependence of the emission intensities of Tb³⁺ on the pump power reveals that two-photon processes account for blue cooperative emission of Yb³⁺ at 476 nm and green upconversion emission of Tb³⁺ at 543 nm, and three-photon processes for ultraviolet emission of Tb³⁺ in the wavelength range of 379–435 nm. The effects of Tb³⁺ concentration on the emission intensity and the lifetime of Tb³⁺ and Yb³⁺ are investigated in detail. It is found that the cooperative energy transfer from a pair of excited Yb³⁺ ions to a ground Tb³⁺ ion is responsible for the appearance of blue and green upconversion emissions due to the ⁵D₄→⁷F _J (J=6,5,4,3) transitions of Tb³⁺, and the resonance energy transfer from Yb³⁺ to Tb³⁺ accounts for the population on the ⁵D₃,⁵G₆ level and ultraviolet upconversion emission.     

Remarkable improvement of brightness for the green emissions in Ce and Tb co-activated LaPO4 nanowires

Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-activated LaPO₄ nanowires (NWs) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and studied in contrast to corresponding micrometer rods (MRs). The results indicate that electronic transition rate of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ in NWs had only a little variation in comparison with that in MRs, and energy transfer (ET) rate and efficiency of Ce³⁺→Tb³⁺ in NWs reduced. It is interesting to observe that the brightness for ⁵D₄-⁷F₅ of Tb³⁺ via ET of Ce³⁺→Tb³⁺ in NWs increased several times than that in MRs. This was attributed to the decreased energy loss in excited states being higher than ⁵D₄ of Tb³⁺ ions due to hindrance of boundary.     

Enhanced luminescent properties of Y3Al5O12:Tb,Ce phosphor prepared by spray pyrolysis

Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) particles doped with Tb³⁺ or double doped with Tb³⁺ and Ce³⁺ were prepared by spray pyrolysis and characterized by photo- and cathode-luminescence. It was tried to incorporate a broad band of Ce³⁺ activator into the line peaks of Tb³⁺ in YAG host without the reduction of emission intensity. Ce-codoped YAG:Tb particles showed a broad band emission due to the d-f transition of Ce³⁺ and a reduction in the intensity of emission peaks due to ⁵D₃-⁷F_j (j=3, 4, 5, 6) transition of Tb³⁺ when they were excited by the ultraviolet light of 270 nm. These results supported that an effective energy transfer occurs from Tb³⁺ to Ce³⁺ in YAG host. Codoping Ce³⁺ ions greatly intensified the excitation peak at 270 nm for the emission at 540 nm of Tb³⁺, which means that more lattice defects, involving in the energy absorption and transfer to Tb³⁺, are formed by the Ce³⁺ codoping. The finding gives a promising approach for enhancing the luminescence efficiency.     

Luminescence properties and energy transfer investigations of BaAl2B2O7:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors

Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-doped BaAl₂B₂O₇ phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the phase structure. The photoluminescent properties of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-doped BaAl₂B₂O₇ phosphors were investigated by using the photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra. Under the excitation of near ultraviolet (n-UV) light, BaAl₂B₂O₇:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ phosphors exhibited blue emission corresponding to the f–d transition of Ce³⁺ ions and green emission bands corresponding to the f–f transition of Tb³⁺ ions, respectively. Effective energy transfer occurred from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ in BaAl₂B₂O₇ host due to the observed spectra overlap between the emission spectrum of Ce³⁺ ion and the excitation spectrum of Tb³⁺ ion. The energy transfer efficiency from Ce³⁺ ion to Tb³⁺ ion was also calculated to be 71%. Furthermore, the concentration quenching and critical distance of BaAl₂B₂O₇:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ phosphors were also discussed. The energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ in BaAl₂B₂O₇ host was demonstrated to be resonant type via a dipole–dipole interaction mechanism with the energy transfer critical distance of 16.13 Å.
