Luminescence Properties of Sr2SnO4：Sm^3＋ Afterglow Phosphor

A new long-lasting phosphorescence （LLP） phosphor, Sr2SnO4：Sm3＋ which emits reddish-orange LLP upon UV-excitation, is prepared by a conventional high-temperature solid-state method. After irradiation under 247-nm UV light, Sr2SnO4：Sm3＋ emits an intense reddish-orange emission afterglow from the 4G5/2 to 6HJ （J = 5/2,7/2,9/2） transitions. The afterglow decay curve of the Sm3＋-doped Sr2SnO4 phosphor contains a fast decay component and another slow decay one. Due to the presence of the slow decay component, the afterglow can be seen with the naked eye in the dark clearly for more than 1 h after removal of the excitation source.

Luminescence Kinetic Model for Long-Afterglow Phosphor （Sr0.5 Ca1.5 ） MgSi2O7 ：Eu^2＋ ,Dy^3＋

A luminescence kinetic model for the green-emission long-afterglow phosphor (Sr0.5 Ca1.5)MgSi2O7:Eu^2 ,Dy^3 is proposed based on the studies of the thermoluminescence and isothermal decay curves at different temperatures.The isothermal decay curves at different temperatures meet the hyperbolic law and show to be dependent on temperature. Combined with the decay curves and the thermoluminescence curves, it can be concluded that the long afterglow of this material originates from the traps with energy distribution rather than a single level trap.Upon illumination with ultra-violet or visible light, the trap filling can proceed via excitation of 4f electrons to the 5d level of Eu^2 ions. After excitation, 5d electrons can be transferred to the trap related to Dy3 ions, and Eu^3 is left behind. Upon subsequent heating, the electron is released from this trap and recombines with Eu^3 to produce Eu^2 emission.

Yb3+,Er3+掺杂的SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+长余辉材料的发光特性

根据Dorenbos能级模型的推论,利用掺杂Yb3+和Er3+对典型的长余辉材料SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+(简称SAO:ED)的发光特性(发光强度和余辉时间)进行调制.在发光特性分析中,发展并使用了一种简便易行的解析模型,而不是常用的多项e指数衰减函数的经验模型.研究发现,正如Dorenbos所预言的,Yb+3掺杂确实能够提高SAO:ED的发光强度;但进一步研究发现,Yb3+不完全是发光中心,而是一种辅助激发中心.Er3+掺杂效果也和Dorenbos的预言相同,即它是一种俘获中心;但是当Er3+和Yb3+共掺杂时,Er3+却有一种脱俘作用,使得初始发光强度增强,衰减常数变小,但蓄光能力变化不大.     

VUV/UV/X-Ray Excited Luminescent Properties of Eu^3＋ and Pr^3＋ Doped BiSbO4

Absorption spectra of BiSbO4 are studied. The electronic structure calculated by the DFT shows that BiSbO4 is a semiconductor, with direct band gap 2.96 eV, which is consistent with UV-visible diffuse reflectance experiment. The host lattice emission band is located at 440 nm under VUV excitation. Eu^3＋ and Pr^3＋ doped samples have high luminescence efficiency in emitting red and green light, respectively. From the partial density of states, Eu^3＋ doped emitting spectrum, and the host crystal structure parameters, the relationship between structure and optical properties is discussed. It is found that the Eu^3＋ ions occupied Bi^3＋ sites, and there could be an energy transfer from Bi^3＋ ions to RE^3＋ ions.     

Blue-emitting long-lasting phosphor, Sr3Al10SiO20:Eu,Ho

A novel blue-emitting long-lasting phosphor Sr₃Al₁₀SiO₂₀:Eu²⁺,Ho³⁺ is prepared by the conventional high-temperature solid-state technique and their luminescent properties are investigated. XRD, photoluminescence (PL) and thermoluminescence (TL) are used to characterize the synthesized phosphors. These phosphors are well crystallized by calcinations at 1500-1600 °C for 3 h. The phosphor emits blue light and shows long-lasting phosphorescence after it is excited with 254/365 nm ultraviolet light. TL curves reveal the introduction of Ho³⁺ ions into the Sr₃Al₁₀SiO₂₀:Eu²⁺ host produces a highly dense trap level at appropriate depth, which is the origin of the long-lasting phosphorescence in this kind of material. The long-lasting phosphorescence lasts for nearly 6 h in the light perception of the dark-adapted human eye (0.32 mcd/m²). All the results indicate that this phosphor has promising potential practical applications.     

Effect of RE as a co-dopant in long-lasting phosphorescence CdSiO3:Mn (RE=Y, La, Gd, Lu)

Effect of RE³⁺ as a co-dopant in long-lasting phosphorescence CdSiO₃:Mn²⁺ (RE=Y, La, Gd, Lu) has been investigated. A longer orange emitting phosphorescence phenomenon was observed in the co-doped CdSiO₃:Mn²⁺,RE³⁺ phosphors after exciting with ultraviolet (UV) light. The luminescence properties, including photoluminescence (PL) spectra and thermoluminescence (TL) spectra, as well as the afterglow decay curves, were studied. The results revealed that one of the origins of the improvement is due to nonequivalent substitution to produce more e-traps, and energy transfer from Gd³⁺ to Mn²⁺ to boost the performance of CdSiO₃:Mn²⁺,Gd³⁺. Role of RE³⁺ co-doped into CdSiO₃:Mn²⁺ matrix and the possible long-lasting phosphorescence process are discussed in this paper.     

Vacuum Ultraviolet Excited Photoluminescence Properties of Novel Na3Y9O3（BO3）8：Tb^3＋ Phosphor

The novel vacuum ultraviolet （VUV） excited Na3 Y9O3 （BO3）8：Tb^3＋ （NYOB：Tb^3＋） green phosphor is prepared. Strong VUV photoluminescence and high quenching concentration of Tb^3＋ （20 wt%） are observed in NYOB： Tb^3＋ and the strong emission are correlated with the unique layer-type structure of NYOB. All the characteristic 4 f - 5d transitions of Tb^3＋ and the host absorption band in VUV region are identified in the excitation spectrum. Based on the results, the energy levels scheme of Tb^3＋ in NYOB：Tb^3＋ is first established. This newly developed NYOB：Tb^3＋ phosphor shows excellent optical properties when compared with the commercial Zn2SiO4：Mn^2＋ and would be a potential VUV-excited green phosphor.     

Luminescence and Energy Transfer of Eu^2＋, Mn^2＋ in SrZnP2O7

The SrZnP2OT：Eu^2＋, Mn^2＋ phosphor is synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction. The luminescence properties and the energy transfer between Eu^2＋ and Mn^2＋ are investigated. The emission bands of this phosphor peaked at 42Ohm and 67Ohm are originated from the 5d → 4f transition of Eu^2＋ and from the 4T1 （4G） --〉 6A1 （6S） transit/on of Mn^2＋, respectively. With the increasing Mn^2＋ concentration, the intensity of fixed concentra- tion Eu^2＋ decreases and the intensity of Mn^2＋ also increases. It is suggested that there is an energy transfer from Eu^2＋ to Mn^2＋ in SrZnP2O7 host. According to Dexter＇s energy transfer formula of multipolar interaction, the energy transfer between Eu^2＋ and Mn^2＋ is due to the electric dipole-quadrupole interaction of the resonance transfer.

A new phosphor, CaZnGe₂O₆:Mn²⁺, which emits red long-lasting phosphorescence centered at 648 nm upon UV light excitation, is prepared by the conventional high-temperature solid-state method and its luminescent properties are systematically investigated in this paper. XRD, photoluminescence, thermoluminescence spectra and afterglow decay curve are used to characterize the synthesized phosphor. This phosphor is well crystallized by calcination at 1150 °C for 3 h and possesses excellent performance. The color coordinate values of this phosphor are x=0.64, y=0.26 under 250 nm UV light excitation. Under 250-nm UV light irradiation, this phosphor shows obvious long-lasting phosphorescence that can be seen with the naked eye in the dark clearly after the irradiation source has been removed for more than 3 h. The possible mechanism of this red-light-emitting long-afterglow phosphor is also investigated based on the experiment results.     

Preparation and Luminescence Characteristics of Ca3Y2（BO3）4：Eu^3＋ Phosphor

Ca3Y2 （BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor is synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method, and the Iuminescence characteristics are investigated. The emission spectrum exhibits two strong red emissions at 613 and 621 nm corresponding to the electric dipole ^5 Do- ^7F2 transition of Eu^3＋ under 365 nm excitation, the reason is that Eu^3＋ substituting for Y^3＋ occupies the non-centrosymmetric position in the crystal structure of Ca3 Y2 （BO3）4. The excitation spectrum for 613 nm indicates that the phosphor can be effectively excited by ultraviolet （UV） （254 nm, 365nm and 400nm） and blue （470nm） light. The effect of Eu^3＋ concentration on the emission intensity of Ca3 Y2 （BO3）4 ：Eu^3＋ phosphor is measured, the result shows that the emission intensities increase with increasing Eu^3＋ concentration, then decrease. The CIE colour coordinates of Ca3Y2 （BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor is （0.639, 0.357） at 15mol% Eu^3＋.     

Upconversion Luminescence of Er3+ Ions in Transparent Germanate Glass Ceramics Containing CaF2 Nanocrystals

The visible upconversion and near-infrared luminescence of Er3＋ ions in germanate glass ceramics containing GaF2 nanocrystals are investigated. The nanocrystals are characterized by x-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscopy, showing their mean sizes less than 20hm. High transmittance of the glass ceramics is displayed by absorption spectra. The upconversion luminescence intensity in the glass ceramics increases significantly with increasing temperature. Both the shifts of the XRD peaks and the Stark-split shown in the luminescence spectra indicate the entrance of the Er3＋ ions into the CaF2 nanocrystals, which is confirmed by a Judd-Ofelt analysis. Possible mechanisms of the upconversion luminescence are analyzed.

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.
