Disappearance and recovery of luminescence in Bi3+, Eu3+ codoped YPO4 nanoparticles due to the presence of water molecules up to 800 °C

YPO(4) nanoparticles codoped with Eu(3+) (5 at. %) and Bi(3+) (2-10 at. %) have been synthesized by a simple coprecipitation method using a polyethylene glycol-glycerol mixture, which acts as capping agent. It has been found that the incorporation of Bi(3+) ions into the YPO(4):Eu(3+) lattice induces a phase transformation from tetragonal to hexagonal, and also a significant decrease in Eu(3+) luminescence intensity was observed. This is related to the association of the water molecules in the hexagonal phase of YPO(4) in which the nonradiative process from the surrounding water molecules around Eu(3+) is dominating over the radiative process. On annealing above 800 °C, luminescence intensity recovers due to significant removal of water. 900 °C annealed Bi(3+) codoped YPO(4):Eu(3+) shows enhanced luminescence (2-3 times) as compared to that of YPO(4):Eu(3+). When sample was prepared in D(2)O (instead of H(2)O), 4-fold enhancement in luminescence was observed, suggesting the extent of reduction of multiphonon relaxation in D(2)O. This study illustrates the stability of water molecules even at a very high temperature up to 800 °C in Eu(3+) and Bi(3+) codoped YPO(4) nanoparticles.

The N₂S₆ coordination polyhedron of the Dy atom is a distorted square antiprism. In the range of 2–300 K the magnetic properties of complexes I–V are studied. It is found that complex III passes to the magnetically ordered state; the spontaneous magnetization at 2 K is 24 600 G·cm³/mol. At 300 K compounds I–IV exhibit photoluminescence in the visible spectral range. It is found that the photoluminescence intensity of complex I is several times higher than the photoluminescence intensity of complexes II–IV.

碱土金属离子(Mg2+,Ca2+,Ba2+)掺杂对长余辉荧光粉SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+发光性能的影响

采用高温固相法制备了碱土金属离子(Mg2 ,Ca2 ,Ba2 )掺杂的SrAl2O4:Eu2 ,Dy3 长余辉荧光粉.XRD谱分析表明,随着基质中掺人的碱土金属离子(Mg2 ,Ca2 ,Ba2 )浓度增加,基质晶格常数也随之发生变化.Mg2 ,Ca2 和Ba2 3种碱土离子在SrAl2O4中的固溶范围分别为40%,15%和30%.光谱分析则表明在固溶范围内随着掺杂Mg3 ,Ca2 和Ba2 浓度的增大,样品的发射峰值会在480～530 nm范围出现规律性移动.适当浓度的Mg2 ,Ba2 掺杂会不同程度地提高样品的发光强度,而Ca2 的掺杂则会降低发光强度.但是碱土金属离子(Mg2 ,Ca2 ,Ba2 )的掺杂并不能延长SrAl2O4:Eu2 ,Dy3 荧光粉的余辉时间.     

Fabrication,patterning and luminescence properties of X2–Y2SiO5:A (A=Eu3+, Tb3+, Ce3+) phosphor films via sol–gel soft lithography

X₂–Y₂SiO₅:A (A=Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, Ce³⁺) phosphor films and their patterning were fabricated by a sol–gel process combined with a soft lithography. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) optical microscopy and photoluminescence (PL) were used to characterize the resulting films. The results of XRD indicated that the films began to crystallize at 900 °C with X₁–Y₂SiO₅, which transformed completely to X₂–Y₂SiO₅ at 1250 °C. Patterned thin films with different band widths (5 μm spaced by 5 μm and 16 μm spaced by 24 μm) were obtained by a soft lithography technique (micromoulding in capillaries, MIMIC). The SEM and AFM study revealed that the nonpatterned phosphor films were uniform and crack free, and the films mainly consisted of closely packed grains with an average size of 350 nm. The doped rare earth ions (A) showed their characteristic emissions in X₂–Y₂SiO₅ phosphor films, i.e., ⁵D₀–⁷F_J (J=0,1,2,3,4) for Eu³⁺, ⁵D_{3, 4}–⁷F_J (J=6,5,4,3) for Tb³⁺ and 5d (²D)–4f (²F_{2/5, 2/7}) for Ce³⁺, respectively. The optimum doping concentrations for Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ were determined to be 13 and 8 mol% of Y³⁺ in X₂–Y₂SiO₅ films, respectively.

H3BO3对微波等离子体法合成SrAl2O4:Eu2+,Dy3+的影响

采用微波等离子体法合成SrAl2O4：Eu^2＋ Dy^3＋长余辉发光材料,探讨了H3BO3的加入对材料的光谱性能、余辉性能、相组成结构、微观形貌的影响。结果表明,适量的添加助溶剂H3BO3,有利于增强材料的发光强度,延长余辉时间,但过量的添加反而会导致发光性能下降。本试验确定硼酸的最佳添加量为10％。综合检测分析结果推断,硼酸加入后在高温下大部分形成液相,并通过液相传质促进晶体生长,提高基质的结晶程度,同时促进稀土离子Eu^2＋,Dy^3＋进入晶格并使其分布更均匀;而少部分则会进入晶格发生B取代Al,引起晶体场畸变,从而提高了材料的发光强度和长余辉特性。     

Effect of cation size and size-disorder on the magnetic and electron transport properties of La0.7−xLnxSr0.3MnO3 (Ln=Gd and Dy)

Magnetic and electron transport properties of La_0.7−xLn_xSr_0.3MnO₃ with Ln=Gd and Dy have been investigated over a wide range of compositions to explore the effects of the radius of the A-site cation, 〈r_A〉, and the size-disorder as measured by σ². These manganates exhibit ferromagnetism and insulator–metal transitions up to a critical value of x (x_c), with the T_c (T_IM) values decreasing with 〈r_A〉. When x⩾x_c, however, the manganates cease to be ferromagnetic and instead they show an abrupt decrease in magnetization and increase in resistivity, suggesting the likely occurrence of electronic phase separation.

Sol–gel preparation and photocatalytic performance of TiO2/SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ toward the oxidation of gaseous benzene

It has been found that the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ toward the decomposition of gaseous benzene can be greatly enhanced by loading TiO₂ on the surface of SrAl₂O₄: Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ using sol–gel technology. The prepared photocatalyst was characterized by BET, XRD, and XPS analyses. XRD results reveal that the peaks of titania in either rutile or anatase form are not detected by XRD in the 2θ region from 20° to 50°. The binding energy values of Ti 2p of pure TiO₂ are 458.90 and 464.60 eV, while for TiO₂/SrAl₂O₄: Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺, the binding energy values of Ti 2p are 458.50 and 464.20 eV. The results indicate that the optimum loading of TiO₂ is 1 wt% and TiO₂/SrAl₂O₄: Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ (1 wt%) demonstrates 1.4 times the photocatalytic activity of that of pure TiO₂, but the underlying mechanism of SrAl₂O₄: Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ in the photocatalytic reaction remains to be unraveled.
