CaMoO4：Eu3+,Bi3+,Li+红色荧光粉的共沉淀制备与表征

采用共沉淀法合成了红色荧光粉Ca_0.75MoO₄：Eu_0.25³⁺、Ca_0.75MoO₄：Eu_0.25-x³⁺,Bi_x³⁺及Ca_0.5MoO₄：Eu_0.25-2x³⁺, Bi_x³⁺,Li_0.25+x⁺,并采用X射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱,扫描电镜(SEM)和荧光光谱(PL)测定分析了其结构形貌特征及发光性能。结果表明：制备的CaMoO₄：Eu³⁺,Bi³⁺,Li⁺红色荧光粉为白钨矿结构,颗粒尺寸约为0.5~1 μm。掺杂Bi³⁺的Ca_0.75MoO₄：Eu_0.25-x³⁺,Bi_x³⁺的相对发光强度明显高于未掺Bi³⁺的Ca_0.75MoO₄：Eu_0.25³⁺荧光粉。Bi³⁺离子的掺杂将吸收来的能量传递给激活离子Eu³⁺,起到了能量传递的作用。当Bi³⁺掺杂量为x=0.005时,在395 nm激发下,主发射峰在616 nm处的相对发光强度最大,但掺杂浓度过高时会出现浓度猝灭现象。另外,电荷补偿剂的掺入能够解决材料中因同晶取代引起的电荷不平衡的问题,以Li⁺作电荷补偿剂、Eu³⁺和 Bi³⁺共掺合成的Ca_0.5MoO₄：Eu³⁺_0.23,Bi_0.01³⁺,Li⁺_0.26红色荧光粉的发光性能强于Ca_0.75MoO₄：Eu_0.25³⁺、Ca_0.5MoO₄：Eu_0.25³⁺, Li_0.25⁺及Ca_0.75MoO₄：Eu_0.24³⁺,Bi_0.01³⁺。     

Luminescence characteristics of K2Ca2(SO4)3:Eu,Tb micro- and nanocrystalline phosphor

K₂Ca₂(SO₄)₃ microcrystalline pure, doped with Eu, Tb and co-doped with Eu, Tb was prepared by solid-state diffusion method. Nanoparticles of these phosphors were also prepared by the chemical co-precipitation method. The formation of the compounds was confirmed by XRD. The particle size was calculated by broadening of the XRD peaks using Scherrer's formula. The particle size of nanocrystalline powder material was approximately found to be around 20 nm. Thermoluminescence and photoluminescence were studied to see the effect of co-doping and particle size. Tb³⁺ co-doping decreases the intensity in the Eu²⁺ doped phosphor due to the energy transfer and multiple de-excitations through various radiative and non-radiative processes. The sensitivity of K₂Ca₂(SO₄)₃:Eu,Tb microcrystalline phosphor was around 15 times more than LiF-TLD 100 and 7 times more than CaSO₄:Dy. A high temperature peak (615 K) was observed in case of the nanoparticles, which was attributed to a particle size induced phase transition. This was confirmed by differential scanning calormetry measurements. The decrease in the sensitivity in case of nanoparticles is attributed to the particle size effect i.e. volume to surface ratio. Theoretical analysis of the glow curves was done by glow curve convolution deconvolution method to calculate trapping parameters of various peaks.     

Comparison between blue lasers and light‐emitting diodes for future solid‐state lighting

Solid‐state lighting (SSL) is now the most efficient source of high color quality white light ever created. Nevertheless, the blue InGaN light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) that are the light engine of SSL still have significant performance limitations. Foremost among these is the decrease in efficiency at high input current densities widely known as “efficiency droop.” Efficiency droop limits input power densities, contrary to the desire to produce more photons per unit LED chip area and to make SSL more affordable. Pending a solution to efficiency droop, an alternative device could be a blue laser diode (LD). LDs, operated in stimulated emission, can have high efficiencies at much higher input power densities than LEDs can. In this article, LEDs and LDs for future SSL are explored by comparing: their current state‐of‐the‐art input‐power‐density‐dependent power‐conversion efficiencies; potential improvements both in their peak power‐conversion efficiencies and in the input power densities at which those efficiencies peak; and their economics for practical SSL.

Luminescence of samarium-activated cubic boron nitride

Under high pressure conditions, we have obtained samples of samarium-activated cubic boron nitride in the form of micropowders, ceramic samples, and polycrystals having high-intensity discrete photoluminescence in the red region of the spectrum that is stable in the temperature range 6 K to 300 K and is assigned to internal f-f electronic transitions in the Sm³⁺ ions. The materials obtained on the basis of cBN are intended for use as phosphors and light emitters (sources of red light) having thermal and chemical stability. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 75, No. 1, pp. 88–93, January–February, 2008.     

Highly enhanced luminescence of ZnO green phosphors by calcining ZnS with NH4Br as additive

Zinc oxide (ZnO) phosphors with highly efficient green emission have been prepared by calcining ZnS with NH₄Br as additive in air atmosphere. The luminescent properties of as-prepared ZnO phosphors were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and photoluminescence. Our results reveal that the green emission is ascribed to a transition of a photo-generated electron from the localized defect centers (V_o⁺) to a deeply trapped hole (V_Zn⁻) within the band gap. The addition of NH₄Br enhances the luminescent emission of ZnO by promoting the formation of vacancies of both oxygen and zinc.     

New red Y0.85Bi0.1Eu0.05V1−yMyO4 (M=Nb, P) phosphors for light-emitting diodes

The Y_0.85Bi_0.1Eu_0.05V_1−yM_yO₄ (M=Nb, P) as new near-ultraviolet excited phosphors were synthesized and their luminescence properties under 365 nm excitation were investigated in detail. It indicated that by doping small amount of P⁵⁺ into V⁵⁺ sites, the excitation intensity of charge transfer (CT) band of Bi–O (330–400 nm) was greatly improved. By substituting Nb⁵⁺ for V⁵⁺, both the CT bands of Bi–O and Eu–O (240–320 nm) were significantly enhanced. As a result, the emission intensity of Y_0.85Bi_0.1Eu_0.05V_1−yM_yO₄ (M=Nb, P) could be improved about 90% by doping 5 mol% P⁵⁺ and 110% by doping 5 mol% Nb⁵⁺. Comparing with the commercial Y₂O₂S:Eu³⁺ phosphors, the Y_0.85Bi_0.1Eu_0.05V_0.95M_0.05O₄ (M=Nb, P) phosphors exhibited excellent color purity and much higher brightness. The results showed that these Y_0.85Bi_0.1Eu_0.05V_1−yM_yO₄ (M=Nb, P) phosphors could be considered as promising red phosphors for application in LED.

Physical,Thermal and Biological Properties of Yellow Dyes with Two Azodiphenylether Groups of Anthracene

Two yellow bis-azo dyes containing anthracene and two azodiphenylether groups (BPA and BTA) were prepared, and an extensive investigation of their physical, thermal and biological properties was carried out. The chemical structure was confirmed by the FTIR spectra, while from the UV–Vis spectra, the quantum efficiency of the laser fluorescence at the 476.5 nm was determined to be 0.33 (BPA) and 0.50 (BTA). The possible transitions between the energy levels of the electrons of the chemical elements were established, identifying the energies and the electronic configurations of the levels of transition. Both crystals are anisotropic, the optical phenomenon of double refraction of polarized light (birefringence) taking place. Images of maximum illumination and extinction were recorded when the crystals of the bis-azo compounds rotated by 90° each, which confirms their birefringence. A morphologic study of the thin films deposited onto glass surfaces was performed, proving the good adhesion of both dyes. By thermal analysis and calorimetry, the melting temperatures were determined (~224–225 °C for both of them), as well as their decomposition pathways and thermal effects (enthalpy variations during undergoing processes); thus, good thermal stability was exhibited. The interaction of the two compounds with collagen in the suede was studied, as well as their antioxidant activity, advocating for good chemical stability and potential to be safely used as coloring agents in the food industry.
