Growth and the luminescence properties of a lutetium gadolinium garnet doped with Ce3+ and Pr3+ ions

Crystals of lutetium gadolinium garnet solid solutions (Lu_{1 − x} Gd _x )Al₅O₁₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) doped with Ce³⁺ and Pr³⁺ ions have been prepared by the horizontal directional crystallization method, and their optical and luminescence properties have been investigated. It has been established that the introduction of gadolinium into the lutetium garnet lattice leads to a decrease in the antisite luminescence (Lu_Al centers) in the UV spectral range and to sensitization of the Ce³⁺ ion luminescence. By contrast, the presence of gadolinium results in the quenching of the Pr³⁺ luminescence due to the nonradiative excitation transfer from Pr³⁺ ions to Gd³⁺ ions.     

Decay of the Ce3+ luminescence of LaMgAl11O19 : Ce3+ and of CeMgAl11O19 activated with Tb3+ or Eu3+

Decay measurements have been performed on the Ce³⁺ luminescence of LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉ : Ce³⁺ and of CeMgAl₁₁O₁₉ activated with Tb³⁺. For all samples, the decay was found to be nearly exponential over at least two decades, and the decay time constant was practically the same, being ≈20 ns. From these results and from quantum efficiency data of the Ce³⁺ luminescence, conclusions are drawn about the various energy transfers and quenching interactions occurring in these compounds.     

Energy transfer between Ce3+ and Eu2+ in doped KSrPO4

Powder samples of KSrPO₄ doped with Eu²⁺ and Ce³⁺ were prepared by combustion-assisted synthesis. Their structures and photoluminescence spectra were systemically studied. Energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺ was observed by investigating the optical properties from photoluminescence spectra in Eu²⁺ single doped and Ce³⁺–Eu²⁺ co-doped KSrPO₄. The enhancement of UV excitation is attributed to energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺, and Ce³⁺ plays a role as a sensitizer. Ce³⁺–Eu²⁺ co-doped KrSrPO₄ powders can possibly be applied as blue phosphors in the fields of lighting and display.

Electronic excitations and luminescence of SrAlF5 crystals doped with Ce3+ ions

This paper reports the results of a time-resolved photoluminescence and energy transfer processes study in Ce³⁺ doped SrAlF₅ single crystals. Several Ce³⁺ centers emitting near 4 eV due to 5d-4f transitions of Ce³⁺ ions substituting for Sr²⁺ in non-equivalent lattice sites were identified. The lifetime of these transitions is in the range of 25–35 ns under intra-center excitation in the energy region of 4–7 eV at T = 10 K. An effective energy transfer from lattice defects to dopant ions was revealed in the – 7–11 eV energy range. Both direct and indirect excitation channels are efficient at room temperature. Excitons bound to dopants are revealed at T = 10 K under excitation in the fundamental absorption region above 11 eV, as well as radiative decay of self-trapped excitons resulting in luminescence near 3 eV.     

VUV excitation of luminescence in pure and Tl+ doped KI

Excitation spectra of pure and Tl⁺ doped KI have been measured at room temperature (RT) and liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) between 13 and 30 eV. Energy transfer between the host lattice ions and the Tl⁺ impurities, and intrinsic recombinaton of electron-hole pairs, have been studied at different temperatures and excitation energies. Energy transfer has been observed only at RT while at LNT the intrinsic recombination, V_k centers-electrons, is the dominant process.     

Effects of Ce3+ energy level structure on absorption and luminescence properties of Ce-doped YAlO3,Y3Al5O12,and LaAlO3 single crystals

We investigate the spectra and scintillation properties of Ce:YA103,Ce:Y₃Al₅O₁₂,and Ce:LaA103.For Ce:YAlO₃,the excitation spectrum is very similar with the absorption spectrum;for Ce:Y₃Al₅O₁₂ and Ce:LaAlO₃,the excitation spectra are different from the absorption spectra.Further,Ce:YAlO₃ has better scintillation performance than Ce:Y₃Al₅O₁₂ whereas Ce:LaAlO₃ has not demonstrated scintillation performance to date.We also provide reasonable explanations for these experimental phenomena from the viewpoint of energy level structure.     

共掺杂Ce~(3+)调控β-NaLuF_4:Yb~(3+)/Ho~(3+)纳米晶体的上转换荧光发射

在980 nm近红外光激发下,通过共掺杂Ce~(3+)离子调控六方相NaLuF_4:Yb~(3+)/Ho~(3+)纳米晶体的上转换荧光发射.实验结果表明,当掺杂Ce~(3+)离子浓度从0增加到12.0%时,Ho~(3+)离子的上转换荧光发射实现了由绿光向红光的转变,其红绿比提高了近24倍.根据Ho~(3+)离子的能级结构发现,Ho~(3+)离子的红光发射源自~5F_5能级到5I8能级的辐射跃迁,因此要增强红光发射,必须提高该能级粒子数布居.Ho~(3+)与Ce~(3+)离子之间相近的能级差促使它们之间产生了共振交叉弛豫,从而有效地提高了Ho~(3+)离子~5F_5能级的粒子数布居,增强了红光发射.同时对Ho~(3+)离子的上转换调控机理进行讨论,并借助不同的激发策略,进一步证实了Ho~(3+)与Ce~(3+)离子之间相互作用的发生.

Energy transfer from Ce3+toNd3+ in pentaphosphate crystals

An excitation band at 300 nm corresponding to Ce³⁺absorption is observed in pentaphosphate crystals containing Ce³⁺ and Nd³⁺ when the Nd³⁺ luminescence is monitored. The decay of excitation of Ce³⁺ in crystals of pure cerium pentaphosphate, CeP₅O₁₄, follows single exponential kinetics with a 22 ± 2 nsec lifetime. In Ce_0.5Nd_0.5P₅O₁₄ crystals, the Ce³⁺ lifetime is shortened to 3.8 ± 0.4 nsec as a result of efficient nonradiative energy transfer to the Nd³⁺ ions.     

Spectroscopic properties of a Ce3+Tm3+ center in CsCdBr3 crystals: Absorption,emission, and energy transfer

When crystals of CsCdBr₃ are doped with trivalent cerium and thulium, it appears that Ce³⁺-vacancy-Tm³⁺ centers are formed. A very efficient cerium to thulium energy transfer is observed in this center when the doped crystals are irradiated at the energy (～ 27800 cm^?1) corresponding to the 4f → 5d transition of Ce³⁺. Spectroscopic studies indicate that the energy transfer begins to diminish when the temperature is raised above 100 K. At room temperature the doped crystals show no detectable energy transfer.

Enhancement of the upconversion luminescence in Y2O3:Er3+ powders by codoping with La3+ ions

Infrared-to-visible upconverted luminescent spectra of Er3 t and La3 t codoped Y2O3 powders are investigated.By introducing La3 t ions, the upconversion green radiation is found to be greatly enhanced when compared with the powders with La3 t absent. Such enhancement can be attributed to the modification of the local symmetry surrounding the Er3 t ion, which benefits the intra-4f transitions of Er3 t ion, and the decreasing interaction between Er3 t ions, which suppresses the energy transfer process4F7∕2t 4I11∕2→ 4F9∕2t 4F9∕2.     

Extrinsic luminescence of BaF2: R 3+ crystals ( R 3+ = La3+, Y3+, Yb3+)

This paper reports on a study of cross-luminescence in barium fluoride crystals doped by a variety of impurities (K⁺, Cd²⁺, Y³⁺, Yb³⁺, La³⁺). It is shown that doping of the crystal with a trivalent impurity gives rise to the formation of an additional cross-luminescence band peaking at 7.5 eV, the intensity of this band increasing with increasing impurity concentration.
