Preparation, characterization and photoluminescence properties of BaB2O4: Eu3+ red phosphor

A new red emitting BaB2O4: Eu3+ phosphor was synthesized by solid-state reaction method. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the monoclinic formation of BaB2O4. Field-emission scanning electron-microscopy (FE-SEM) observation indicated that the microstructure of the phosphor consisted of irregular grains with heavy agglomerate phenomena. Upon excitation with 394 nm light, the BaB2O4: Eu3+ phosphor shows bright red emissions with the highest photoluminescence (PL) intensity at 611 nm due to 5D0→7F2 transitions of Eu3+ ions. The CIE chromaticity coordinates are calculated from the emission spectrum to be x=0.64, y=0.35. The effects of the Eu3+ concentration on the PL were investigated. The results showed that the optimum concentration of Eu3+ in BaB2O4 host is 6 mol% and the dipole-dipole interaction plays the major role in the mechanism of concentration quenching of Eu3+ in BaB2O4: Eu3+ phosphor. The effect of charge compensation on the emission intensity was also studied. The charge compensations of Li+, Na+ and K+ anions all increased the luminescent intensity of BaB2O4: Eu3+. K+ anion gave the best improvement to enhance the intensity of the emission, indicating K+ is the optimal charge compensator. All properties show that this phosphor could serve as a potential candidate for application as a red phosphor for NUV chip LED.     

Luminescence and energy transfer between Ce~(3 ) and Mn~(2 ) in alkaline earth borates

The luminescence of Ce and Ce , Mn co-doped BaB8O13 and SrB4O7 prepared in air is studied. The results show that tetravalent cerium ion can be reduced to trivalent state in the hosts and gives rise to efficient luminescence. Energy transfer between Ce3 and Mn2 is possible. Mn2 ions can be efficiently sensitized by Ce 3 and exhibit green and red emissions which implied that Mn2 occupied the crystallographic sites of cations and boron sites of the anoins, respectively. The intensity ratio of red to green emission in matrix increases with the increasing of manganese concentration.

Reactivity of "Eu(OiPr)2" with phenols: formation of linear Eu3, square pyramidal Eu5, cubic Eu8, and capped cubic Eu9 polymetallic europium complexes

The direct reaction of europium with 2-propanol and phenols has been investigated under a variety of conditions. The reaction of europium metal with 2,6-dimethylphenol and 2,6-diisopropylphenol in 2-propanol at reflux revealed that polymetallic europium complexes could be generated by this method. Hx[Eu8O6(OC6H3Me2-2,6)12(OiPr)8], 1, and H5[Eu5O5(OC6H3iPr2-2,6)6(NCCH3)8], 2, were isolated by recrystallization in the presence of hexanes and acetonitrile, respectively, and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 has a cubic arrangement of europium ions with face-bridging mu 4-O donor atoms, edge-bridging mu-O(phenoxide/phenol) ligands, and terminal O(isopropoxide/2-propanol) ligands. Complex 2 is mixed valent and has a square pyramidal europium core with four Eu(II) ions at the basal positions and one Eu(III) ion at the apex. Since these reactions gave complicated mixtures of products from which 1 and 2 could only be obtained in low yields, direct reactions under less forcing reaction conditions were investigated. Europium reacts slowly at room temperature to form arene-soluble divalent [Eu(OiPr)2(THF)x]n, 3. Complex 3 reacts with 2,6-dimethylphenol to form the arene-insoluble complex (H[Eu(OC6H3Me2)2(OiPr)])n, 4. Recrystallization of 4 in the presence of THF results in the crystallographically characterizable divalent trimetallic complex [Eu(OC6H3Me2-2,6)2(THF)2]3, 5, which has an unusual linear metal geometry. In the presence of HOiPr at ambient conditions in the glovebox, crystals of 5 slowly convert to the mixed valent H10[Eu8O8(OC6H3Me2-2,6)10(OiPr)2(THF)6], 6, which was found to have a cubic arrangement of europium atoms similar to 1 by X-ray crystallography. Complex 4, upon heating under vacuum, followed by reaction with THF, forms the arene-soluble divalent complex H18([Eu9O8(OC6H3Me2-2,6)10(THF)7][Eu9O9(OC6H3Me2-2,6)10(THF)6]), 7, which contains two types of capped cubic arrangements of europium ions in the solid state.

Thermoluminescence study of persistent luminescence materials: Eu2+- and R3+-doped calcium aluminates, CaAl2O4:Eu2+,R3+

Thermoluminescence properties of the Eu2+-, R3+-doped calcium aluminate materials, CaAl2O4:Eu2+,R3+, were studied above room temperature. The trap depths were estimated with the aid of the preheating and initial rise methods. The seemingly simple glow curve of CaAl2O4:Eu2+ peaking at ca. 80 degrees C was found to correspond to several traps. The Nd3+ and Tm3+ ions, which enhance most the intensity of the high-temperature TL peaks, form the most suitable traps for intense and long-lasting persistent luminescence, too. The location of the 4f and 5d ground levels of the R3+ and R2+ ions were deduced in relation to the band structure of CaAl2O4. No clear correlation was found between the trap depths and the R3+ or R2+ level locations. The traps may thus involve more complex mechanisms than the simple charge transfer to (or from) the R3+ ions. A new persistent luminescence mechanism presented is based on the photoionization of the electrons from Eu2+ to the conduction band followed by the electron trapping to an oxygen vacancy, which is aggregated with a calcium vacancy and a R3+ ion. The migration of the electron from one trap to another and also to the aggregated R3+ ion forming R2+ (or R3+-e-) is then occurring. The reverse process of a release of the electron from traps to Eu2+ will produce the persistent luminescence. The ability of the R3+ ions to trap electrons is probably based on the different reduction potentials and size of the R3+ ions. Hole trapping to a calcium vacancy and/or the R3+ ion may also occur. The mechanism presented can also explain why Na+, Sm3+, and Yb3+ suppress the persistent luminescence.     

X-Ray storage luminescence of BaFCl:Eu2+ single crystals

Temperature behaviors of X-ray luminescence (XL), photoluminescence (PL), photostimulated luminescence, and thermoluminescence (TL) were studied in BaFCl:Eu2+ single crystals from room temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature. Six emissions at 275, 315, 365, 385, 435, and 500 nm were observed in the XL spectra and are attributed to Cl excitons, V(k)(Cl2-), the 4f65d1 (2e(g)) --> 4f7 (8S(7/2)) transition of Eu2+, and oxygen vacancies, respectively. Three emission peaks at 315, 365, and 390 nm were observed in the PL and TL measurements. These three emissions are from the transitions of 4f7(6I(7/2)) --> 4f7(8S(7/2)), 4f7(6P(7/2)) --> 4f7(8S(7/2)), and 4f65d1 (2e(g)) --> 4f7(8S(7/2)) of Eu2+, respectively. In our measurements, we observed that the emission of Eu2+ increases in intensity upon beta-irradiation and did not see any signals related to Eu3+ ions, which indicates that Eu2+ ions might not be oxidized to Eu3+ upon X-ray or beta-irradiation. Instead, the color centers, Cl excitons, and oxygen defects are created and are stable at room temperature, and they might play a key role in the storage luminescence.     

Al2O3-B2O3-Eu2O3体系的振动光谱和发光特性

采用高温固相反应法,合成了一系列不同组份的磷光体,测定了它们的振动光谱．结果表明,随着Al／B比的减小,在1100～1000cm－1的区域内的振动光谱没有明显变化,铕离子不可能进入Al18B4O33的晶格中;振动光谱的背底升高,非晶相逐渐增加．研究了Al2O3－B2O3-Eu2O3中Eu3＋离子的光谱特性,发现随着Al／B比的减少,Eu3＋离子的存在相由晶相逐渐向非晶相转化。在非晶相中,Eu3＋离子的声子伴带表明电子与声子的耦合强度随着Al／B比的减少而减小,Eu3＋离子的发射强度相应的增加,这与多声子弛豫的理论一致．     

Coordination polymers based on inorganic lanthanide(II) sulfate skeletons and an organic isonicotinate N-oxide connector: segregation into three structural types by the lanthanide contraction effect

Fourteen three-dimensional coordination polymers of general formula [Ln(lNO)(H2O)(SO4)]n, where Ln = La, 1.La; Ce, 2.Ce; Pr, 3.Pr; Nd, 4.Nd; Sm, 5.Sm; Eu, 6.Eu; Gd, 7.Gd; Tb, 8.Tb; Dy, 9.Dy; Ho, 10.Ho; Er. 11.Er; Tm, 12.Tm; Yb, 13.Yb; and Lu, 14.Lu; INO = isonicotinate-N-oxide, have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions of Ln3+, MnCO3, MnSO4 x H2O, and isonicotinic acid N-oxide (HINO) at 155 degrees C and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, thermal analysis, luminescence spectroscopy, and the magnetic measurement. The structures are formed by connection of layer, chain, or dimer of Ln-SO4 by the organic connector, INO. They belong to three structural types that are governed exclusively by the size of the ions: type I for the large ions, La, Ce, and Pr; type II for the medium ions, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, and Tb; and type III for the small ions, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu. Type I consists of two-dimensional undulate Ln-sulfate layers pillared by INO to form a three-dimensional network. Type II has a 2-fold interpenetration of "3D herringbone" networks, in which the catenation is sustained by extensive pi-pi interactions and O-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds. Type III comprises one-dimensional chains that are connected by INO bridges, resulting in an alpha-Po network. The progressive structural change is due to the metal coordination number decreasing from nine for the large ions via eight to seven for the small ions, demonstrating clearly the effect of lanthanide contraction. The sulfate ion acts as a micro4- or micro3-bridge, connecting two, three, or four metals, and is both mono- and bidentate. The INO ligand acts as a micro3- or micro2-bridge with carboxylate group in syn-syn bridging or bidentate chelating mode. The materials show considerably high thermal stability. The magnetic properties of 4.Nd, 6.Eu, 7.Gd, and 13.Yb and the luminescence properties of 6.Eu and 8.Tb are also investigated.     

Photoluminescence characterization of Ca10Na(PO4)7:Eu3+ red-emitting phosphor

Eu3+-doped Ca10Na(PO4)7 phosphors were successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction techniques. Their structures and photoluminescence characteristics were carefully studied. An efficient red emission under near-ultraviolet excitation is observed. The maximum intensity of luminescence was observed at the Eu3+ concentration around 9 mol%. The quadrupole-quadrupole interaction between Eu3+ ions is the dominant mechanism for concentration quenching of fluorescence emission from Eu3+ ions in Ca10-xNa(PO4)7:xEu3+. Due to the excitation spectrum is well coupled with near UV light, Ca10-xNa(PO4)7:xEu3+ phosphors have potential application as red phosphors in near UV chip-based white light emitting diodes.     

Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters and spectral properties of Gd2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystals

Three nonequivalent centers of Cs (A, B, and C) in monoclinic phase and C2 and S6 centers in cubic phase were identified in the Gd2O3:Eu3+ nanocrystals with spectral techniques. Size dependence in the spectra indicated that the excitations from both host and charge-transfer band (CTB) for the 5D0 --> 7F2 transition of Eu3+ ions were nearly equal for a larger size of 135 nm of the cubic phase; however, with decreasing the size to or less than 23 nm, the excitations by the CTB dominated. The variation of excitation leading to the symmetry and energy change in the C2 and S6 sites was also observed for larger particle sizes. The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Omega(lambda) (lambda = 2, 4) for Gd2O3:Eu3+ nanoparticles were experimentally determined. The parameters Omega(lambda) were found to significantly change with the sizes of Gd2O3:Eu3+ from nanoparticles to bulk material. With decreasing the size from 135 to 15 nm, the quantum efficiencies for 5D0 reduced from 23.6% to 4.6% due to the increasing ratio of surface to volume.     

Highly uniform and monodisperse Gd(2)O(2)S:Ln(3+) (Ln = Eu, Tb) submicrospheres: solvothermal synthesis and luminescence properties

Gd(2)O(2)S:Ln(3+) (Ln = Eu, Tb) submicrospheres were successfully prepared through a facile and mild solvothermal method followed by a subsequent heat treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results demonstrate that all the diffraction peaks of the samples can be well indexed to the pure hexagonal phase of Gd(2)O(2)S. The energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), element analysis, and FT-IR results show that the precursors are composed of the Gd, Eu, O, S, C, H, and N elements. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that these spheres are actually composed of randomly aggregated nanoparticles. The formation mechanism for the Gd(2)O(2)S:Ln(3+)(Ln = Eu, Tb) spheres has been proposed on an isotropic growth mechanism. Under ultraviolet excitation, Gd(2)O(2)S:Ln(3+)(Ln = Eu, Tb) spheres show red and green emission corresponding to the (5)D(0)→(7)F(2) transition of the Eu(3+) ions and the (5)D(4)→(7)F(5) transition of the Tb(3+) ions. Furthermore, this synthetic route may have potential applications for fabricating other lanthanide oxysulfides.     

Eu离子价态对Sr_2MgSi_2O_7:Eu发光特性的影响(英文)

Preparation and photoluminescence properties of Y2SiO5:Eu3+ nanocrystals

The sol-emulsion-gel method is used for the preparation of about 5-7 nm size Eu2O3 doped and coated Y2SiO5 nanoparticles at 1300 degrees C. Here, we report the role of surface coating, dopant concentration and temperature of heating on the modification of crystal structure and the photoluminescence properties of Y2SiO5:Eu3+ nanocrystals. It is found that photoluminescence properties are sensitive to the crystal structure which is again controlled by surface coating, concentration and heating temperature. The decay times are 0.76, 1.14, 1.23 and 1.40 ms for 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 mol% Eu2O3 doped Y2SiO5 nanocrystals prepared at 1100 degrees C (X1-Y2SiO5). However, in X2-Y2SiO5 crystal phase (at 1300 degrees C) the average decay times are 1.05, 1.35, 1.55 and 1.60 ms for 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 mol% Eu2O3 doped Y2SiO5 nanocrystals, indicating the photoluminescence properties depend on both the crystal structure and the concentration of ions. The emission intensity of the peak at 612 nm (5D0-->7F2) of the Eu3+-ions is found to be sensitive to the doping and surface coating of Y2SiO5 nanocrystals. The decay times are 1.55 and 1.70 ms for 1300 degrees C heated 1.0 mol% Eu2O3 doped and coated Y2SiO5 nanocrystals, respectively. Our analysis suggests that the site symmetry of ions plays a most important role in the modification of radiative relaxation mechanisms and as a result on the overall photoluminescence properties.
