Luminescence spectroscopy and energy transfer in Eu2+/Mn2+-doped KCaPO4 phosphors

Eu²⁺/Mn²⁺-doped KCaPO₄ phosphors were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), SEM, photoluminescence excitation, and emission spectra, and the luminescence decay curves were measured. Mn²⁺ singly doped KCaPO₄ shows the weak origin-red luminescence band peaked at about 590 nm. The Eu²⁺/Mn²⁺ co-doped phosphors emit two distinctive luminescence bands: a blue one centered at 480 nm originating from Eu²⁺ ions and a broad red-emitting one peaked at 590 nm from Mn²⁺ ions. The luminescence intensity from Mn²⁺ ions can be greatly enhanced with the co-doping of Eu²⁺ ions. The efficient energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Mn²⁺ was verified by the photoluminescence spectra together with the luminescence decay curves. The resonance-type energy transfer via a dipole–quadrupole interaction mechanism was supported by the decay lifetimes. The emission colors could be tuned by changing the Mn²⁺-doping concentration.     

Photophysics of RbCl co-doped with Eu2+ and Eu3+

Excitation and luminescence spectra of RbCl co-doped with divalent and trivalent europium ions are reported. Spectral dips appearing in the blue emission from Eu²⁺ are resulted from the radiative energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Eu³⁺ and consequently induces the luminescence from Eu³⁺ that is responsible for the ⁵D₀→⁷F_J (J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions. The induced luminescence has been characterized as a function of temperature and a decay time. In addition, the polarized emission from RbCl doped with only Eu²⁺ is also reported.     

Nonlinear Luminescence Quenching in Eu2O3

We report a laser spectroscopic investigation of saturation effects in the spectra and dynamics of Eu₂O₃. The saturation effects occur at high laser intensity and appear as dips in the center of the fluorescence excitation lines and as a shortening of the ⁵D₀ excited‐state decay curve. The saturation effects are observed in nanoparticles, micrometer‐sized particles, and a fused crystal of monoclinic‐phase Eu₂O₃ and in micrometer‐sized particles of cubic‐phase Eu₂O₃. We attribute the mechanism of the nonlinear luminescence quenching to upconversion by energy transfer.     

Preparation and photoluminescence properties of the Eu2+, Sm3+ co-doped Li2SrSiO4 phosphors

A series of Eu²⁺ and Sm³⁺ co-doped Li₂SrSiO₄ phosphors are prepared by the high temperature solid-state reaction. The morphology, structure and spectroscopic properties of the prepared samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflection spectra, photoluminescence spectra and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, respectively. The effect of Sm³⁺ doping concentration on the photoluminescence intensity of the prepared samples is also investigated. The results indicate that the crystal structure of Li₂SrSiO₄ is not changed with the Eu²⁺, Sm³⁺ co-doping. The spherical-like particle size of the obtained product is about 20–30 nm in diameter. When the Sm³⁺ concentration is 0.3 mol% and the Eu²⁺ concentration is 0.7 mol%, the phosphors show the maximum emission intensity, which is 50% higher than that of Eu²⁺ doped Li₂SrSiO₄. Excited at 420 nm, the phosphor presents a single broad emission band peaking at 558 nm, which is ascribed to the 4f⁶5d¹ → 4f⁷ transitions of Eu²⁺ and ⁴G_5/2 → ⁶H_5/2 and ⁴G_5/2 → ⁶H_7/2 transitions of Sm³⁺. The Commission International de I′Eclairage chromaticity coordinates of Li₂SrSiO₄:0.7 mol% Eu²⁺, 0.3 mol% Sm³⁺ are x = 0.28, y = 0.28.     

Luminescence study of some yttrium tantalate-based phosphors

Yttrium tantalate (YTaO₄), yttrium niobium-tantalate (YTaNbO₄), yttrium niobate (YNbO₄), europium and terbium activated yttrium tantalate (YTaO₄:Eu, YTaO₄:Tb) and europium activated yttrium niobate (YNbO₄:Eu) phosphors were prepared by solid-state reaction, from a homogeneous mixture consisting of Y₂O₃, Eu₂O₃, Tb₄O₇, Ta₂O₅, Nb₂O₅ and Na₂SO₄ as flux. Photoluminescence (PL), thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of yttrium tantalate based phosphors are reported. In the present study TSL characteristics of these phosphors were first investigated and reported after exposure to beta, UV (311 nm) and X-ray radiations.     

Luminescence of Eu3+ and Tb3+ Ions in the Structure Microporous Xerogel/Mesoporous Anodic Aluminum Oxide

We have investigated the luminescence, luminescence excitation, and transmittance of europium- and terbium-doped xerogel films formed on smooth, nanotextured surfaces and in the pores of anodic aluminum oxide. Some factors responsible for enhancement of luminescence in the structure lanthanide-doped xerogel/mesoporous anodic aluminum oxide have been analyzed. It is assumed that the optical excitation of lanthanide ions can be realized directly, through a xerogel matrix, and due to the multiple scattering of exciting radiation by the matrix of mesoporous anodic aluminum oxide.     

Structural singularities of the Eu2+-doped spatially coherent [KBr0.097I0.903](0.348):[KBr0.459Cl0.511I0.030](0.652) composite as seen under the epifluorescence optical microscopy

Large crystal growths of the Eu²⁺-doped spatially coherent [KBr_0.097I_0.903](0.348):[KBr_0.459Cl_0.511I_0.030](0.652) composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction and then studied by epifluorescence optical microscopy. Doping Eu²⁺ ions were observed to prefer sites located at certain linear structural singularities of the composite matrix to be segregated at. These singularities (2.1?×?10⁷?singularities?cm^?2), identified as crystal lattice dislocations, were found to be distributed within the composite matrix so that they form periodic arrays of linear structural singularities (1.8?×?10⁴?singularities?cm^?1). These arrays, identified as grain sub-boundaries, were found to envelope individual structural domains (1–5?µm in size) of either KBr_0.459Cl_0.511I_0.030:Eu²⁺ or KBr_0.097I_0.903:Eu²⁺. These domains were found to aggregate among themselves to form the whole composite building. Small misfit angles (e.g. 7′?±?1′ and 10′?±?1′) characterize homo-phase structural domains while large misfit angles are characteristic of hetero-phase structural domains. Crystal lattice dislocations, forming the grain sub-boundaries, were found to present, as structural features, kinks and bifurcation points. The spatial configurations adopted by two of these features are carefully described.

Luminescence of aggregate centers in CsBr:Eu2+ single crystals

We have used the Bridgman method to grow CsBr:Eu²⁺ single crystals, adding an activator to the mix in the form of Eu₂O₃ in amounts of 0.0125, 0.0250, and 0.0500 mole %. At T = 300 K, we studied the absorption spectra, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and the photostimulated luminescence (PSL) spectra of the grown crystals. We have established that the structure of the photoluminescence and photostimulated luminescence centers in crystals grown from the CsBr:Eu₂O₃ mix includes isolated dipole centers Eu²⁺-V_Cs, emitting in bands with maxima at 432 nm and 455 nm respectively, and in crystals grown at activator concentrations of 0.025 and 0.050 mole % they also include aggregate centers (AC) based on CsEuBr₃ nanocrystals with emission bands at 515 m and 523 nm. We have shown that the maximum concentration of aggregate centers of the CsEuBr₃ nanocrystal type in CsBr:Eu²⁺ crystals is achieved for an activator content in the mix within the range 0.01–0.05 mole %. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 3, pp. 359–362, May–June, 2006.     

Synthesis,characterization and photoluminescence of Eu3+, Ce3+ co-doped CaLaAl3O7 phosphors

Powder phosphors of CaLa_{1? x} Eu _x Al₃O₇, CaLa_{1? x} Ce _x Al₃O₇ and CaLa_{0.99? x} Eu _x Ce_0.01Al₃O₇, where x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07, were prepared by a combustion method. The powders were well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photoluminescence techniques. Emission spectra of Eu³⁺-doped powder phosphors showed strong red emission at 613 nm (⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂); no concentration quenching was observed. Generally, Ce³⁺ acts as an efficient sensitizer when doped with other trivalent lanthanide ions. However, interestingly, in the CaLaAl₃O₇ powder phosphors, the addition of Ce³⁺ with Eu³⁺ exhibited an adverse effect–decreased photoluminescence intensity. The reasons for this behavior are discussed.

Hydrothermal-assisted ion exchange synthesis and photoluminescence of Li+ and Eu3+ co-doped NaLa(WO4)2 as near-UV type red phosphors

A series of Li⁺ and Eu³⁺ co-doped double tungstate NaLa(WO₄)₂ (NLW) red phosphors have been successfully synthesized by an ion exchange method under a hydrothermal condition. The effects of Li⁺ doping concentration on the crystal structure, morphology and photoluminescence properties were investigated using the XRD, TEM and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The results reveal that the samples have phase-pure scheelite structure and adopt spherical particle morphology. Furthermore, room temperature PL spectrum shows that the optical brightness is highly dependent on the concentration of doping Li⁺, which is determined by ion exchange duration and the precursor concentration of LiNO₃. As 5% Li⁺ ions was introduced into the crystal lattice, the emission intensity was enhanced by more than 10-fold as compared with the pristine one. Moreover, the co-doping of Li⁺ can substantially improve the effective excitation of the NaLa(WO₄)₂:Eu³⁺ phosphors under near-UV region.
