单一基质白光荧光粉Na3Sc2(PO4)3∶Tm3+,Dy3+的合成及发光性质

采用高温固相法成功制备了Na₃Sc_2-x-y(PO₄)₃∶xTm³⁺,yDy³⁺荧光粉,利用X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜和荧光光谱仪对荧光粉进行了物相、形貌和发光性能进行了表征。 在Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶0.06Tm³⁺,yDy³⁺荧光粉中,物质的量分数6%的Tm³⁺和6%的Dy³⁺在360 nm激发下呈现出白光发射,其发射光谱在460~685 nm范围内存在Tm³⁺位于457 nm的特征发射峰,对应于Tm³⁺的³H₆→¹D₂跃迁,以及Dy³⁺位于483、577和672 nm处的3个特征发射峰,分别对应于Dy³⁺的⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2、⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2和⁴F_9/2→⁶H_11/2的跃迁。 观测到Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶Tm³⁺荧光粉的发射光谱与Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶Dy³⁺的激发光谱有较好的重叠,且Tm³⁺的荧光寿命随Dy³⁺浓度的增加逐渐降低,因此在Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺荧光粉中存在Tm³⁺向Dy³⁺的能量传递。 利用Dexter和Reisfeld近似分析了能量转移机制,发现从Tm³⁺到Dy³⁺的能量传递临界距离为1.6 nm,能量传递过程是通过偶极-偶极相互作用进行的。 Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶0.06Tm³⁺,0.06Dy³⁺荧光粉具有较好的耐受热猝灭性能,在423、473和523 K时的发射强度分别为298 K时发射强度的97.6%、89.2%和78.6%。 随着Dy³⁺浓度的增加,Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶0.06Tm³⁺,yDy³⁺荧光粉的发光颜色由蓝色转变为白色,再由白色变黄色。 Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃∶Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺荧光粉作为一种可调色或单相白光荧光粉在发光二极管上具有潜在的应用前景。

A novel red-emitting phosphor Ca9Bi(PO4)7:Eu3+ for near ultraviolet white light-emitting diodes

Red phosphors Ca₉Bi_1-x(PO₄)₇:xEu³⁺ (x = 0.06, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70, 0.80 and 1.00) were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) route. The X-ray diffraction patterns, photoluminescence spectra, ultraviolet–visible reflection spectroscopy, decay time and the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of these compounds were characterized and analyzed. The Eu-doped Ca₉Bi(PO₄)₇ phosphors exhibited strong red luminescence which peaks located at 615 nm due to the ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ electric dipole transition of Eu³⁺ ions after excitation at 393 nm. Ultraviolet–visible spectra indicated that the band-gap of Ca₉Bi_0.30(PO₄)₇:0.70Eu³⁺ is larger than that of Ca₉Bi(PO₄)₇. The results indicate that the phosphor Ca₉Bi_0.30(PO₄)₇:0.70Eu³⁺ can be a suitable red-emitting phosphor candidate for LEDs.

Heterogeneous Chemiluminescence of Crystal Phosphors on X‐Ray or UV Irradiation

Using a highvacuum assembly with molecular beams and setups with an implemented atom probe, we investigated atomic and molecular adsorption luminescence of the oxides CaOBi and MgO in O and O₂ beams and also radicalrecombination luminescence excited by H and O atoms in ZnS and in ZnS,CdS samples activated with silver, copper, and the rareearth element Tm. It is established that exposure to UV light and xray radiation of the CaOBi, MgO, and ZnSTm samples, where the mechanism of direct excitation of heterogeneous chemiluminescence (HCL) is realized, does not influence the characteristics of the heterogeneous chemiluminescence, whereas similar exposure of the ZnS,CdSCu,Al and ZnS,CdSAg samples and of selfactivated ZnS, in which the excitation of heterogeneous chemiluminescence is due to the ionization of the lattice, leads to an increase in the intensity of heterogeneous chemiluminescence up to five orders of magnitude. The mechanisms of the phenomenon are considered.
