Influence of Surface Quenching Effects on Luminescent Dynamics of ZnS：Mn^2＋ Nanocrystals

A model describing surface quenching of isolated ion centres in nanocrystals is proposed based on the energy transfer between the doped ions and the nanocrystalline surface quenching centres. The quenching rate depends on the position of the ions in the nanocrystal, hence the decay curve under non-selective excitation is generally nonexponential. The decay curve calculated with this model is in good agreement with that of the ^4T1→^6A1 emission in ZnS：Mn^2＋ nanocrystals.     

Luminescent Characteristics of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ Phosphor for White Light Emitting Diode

LiSrBO3 ：Eu3＋ phosphor is synthesized by a high solid-state reaction method, and its luminescent characteristics are investigated. The emission and excitation spectra of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ phosphors exhibit that the phosphors can be effectively excited by near ultraviolet （401 nm） and blue （471 nm） light, and emit 615nm red light. The effect of Eua＋ concentration on the emission spectrum of LiSrBO3：Eu3＋ phosphor is studied; the results show that the emission intensity increases with increasing Eu3＋ concentration, and then decreases because of concentration quenching. It reaches the maximum at 3mol%, and the concentration self-quenching mechanism is the dipoledipole interaction according to the Dexter theory. Under the conditions of charge compensation Li＋, Na＋ or K＋ incorporated in LiSrBO3, the luminescent intensities of LiSrBO3 ：Eua＋ phosphor are enhanced.

White light generation of glass ceramics containing Ba_2LaF_7：Eu~（2＋）,Tb~（3＋） and Sm~（3＋） nanocrystals

The Eu 2＋ /Tb 3＋ /Sm 3＋ co-doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing Ba2LaF7 nanocrystals are prepared in the reducing atmosphere.The X-ray difiraction results show that Eu 2＋ ,Tb 3＋ and Sm 3＋ ions are enriched into the precipitated Ba2LaF7 nanophase after the annealing process.It deduces efficient energy transfers from Eu 2＋ to Tb 3＋ and Sm 3＋ and intenses warm white luminescence of the glass ceramics. Comparing with the glass,the luminescence quantum yield of the glass ceramics is also enlarged by about 3 times.This demonstrates the potential white light-emitting diode application of the glass ceramics produced in this letter.     

Effect of Precursor Molar Ratio of [S^2-]/[Zn^2＋] on Particle Size and Photoluminescence of ZnS：Mn^2＋ Nanocrystals

We investigate the influence of precursor molar ratio of [S^2-]/[Zn^2＋] on particle size and photoluminescence （PL） of ZnS：Mn^2＋ nanocrystMs. By changing the [S^2-]/[Zn^2＋] ratio from 0.6 （Zn-rich） to 2.0 （S-rich）, the particle size increases from nearly 2. 7nm to about 4.Ohm. The increase in the ratio of [S^2-]/[Zn^2＋] cadses a decrease of PL emission intensity of ZnS host while a distinct increase of Mn^2＋ emission. The maximum intensity for the luminescence of Mn^2＋ emission is observed at the ratio of [S^2-]/[Zn^2＋] ≈ 1.5. The possible mechanism for the results is discussed by filling of S^2- vacancies and the increase of Mn^2＋ ions incorporated into ZnS lattices.     

Luminescence properties of ZnS：Cu, Eu semiconductor nanocrystals synthesized by a hydrothermal process

ZnS:Cu, Eu nanocrystals with an average diameter of ～ 80 nm are synthesized using a hydrothermal approach at 200 C. The photoluminescence (PL) properties of the ZnS:Cu, Eu nanocrystals before and after annealing, as well as the doping form of Eu, are studied. The as-synthesized samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry, and the excitation and emission spectra (PL). The results show that both Cu and Eu are indeed incorporated into the ZnS matrix. Compared with the PL spectrum of the Cu mono-doped sample, the PL emission intensity of the Cu and Eu-codoped sample increases and a peak appears at 516 nm, indicating that Eu 3+ ions, which act as an impurity compensator and activator, are incorporated into the ZnS matrix, forming a donor level. Compared with the unannealed sample, the annealed one has an increased PL emission intensity and the peak position has a blue shift of 56 nm from 516 nm to 460 nm, which means that Eu 3+ ions reduce to Eu 2+ ions, thereby leading to the appearance of Eu 2+ characteristic emission and generating effective host-to-Eu 2+ energy transfer. The results indicate the potential applications of ZnS:Cu, Eu nanoparticles in optoelectronic devices.     

A novel strong green phosphor： K3Gd（PO4）2：Ce^3＋, Tb^3＋ for a UV-excited white light-emitting-diode

A series of K3Gd1-x-y（PO4）2：xCe^3＋, yTb^3＋ phosphors are synthesized by the solid-sate reaction method. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectra are utilized to characterize the structures and luminescence properties of the as-synthesized phosphors. Co-doping of Ce^3＋ enhances the emission intensity of Tb^3＋ greatly through an efficient energy transfer process from Ce^3＋ to Tb^3＋. The energy transfer is confirmed by photoluminescence spectra and decay time curves analysis. The efficiency and mechanism of energy transfer are investigated carefully. Moreover, due to the non- concentration quenching property of K3Tb（PO4）2, the photoluminescence spectra of K3Tb1-x（PO4）2：xCe^3＋ are studied and the results show that when x = 0.11 the strongest Tb^3＋ green emission can be realized.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Vacuum Ultraviolet-Excited Luminescence Properties of Novel Dy^3＋-doped GdPO4 White Light Phosphors

Novel Dy^3＋-doped GdPO4 white light phosphors with a monoclinic system are successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method at 240℃. The strong absorption at around 147nm in the excitation spectrum is assigned to the host absorption. It is suggested that the vacuum ultraviolet excited energy is transferred from the host to the Dy^3＋ ions. The f - d transition of the Dy^3＋ ion is observed to be located at 182nm, which is consistent with the calculated value using Dorenbos＇s expression. Under 147nm excitation, Gd0.92PO4：0.08Dy^3＋ phosphor exhibits two emission bands located at 572 nm （yellow） and 478 nm （blue）, which correspond to the hypersensitive transitions ^4 F9/2-^6 H13/2 and ^4 F9/2-^6 H15/2. The two emission bands lead to the white light. Because of the strong absorption at about 147nm, Gd0.92PO4：0.08Dy^3＋ under vacuum ultraviolet excitation is an effective white light phosphor, and has promising applications to mercury-free lamps.     

Fabrication and temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra of Zn–Cu–In–S quaternary nanocrystals

A series of Zn-Cu-In-S nanocrystals （ZCIS NCs） are prepared and the optical properties of the ZCIS NCs are tuned by adjusting the reaction time. It is interesting to observe that the temperature-dependent photoluminescence （PL） spectra of the ZCIS NCs show a redshift with decreasing intensity at low temperature （50-280 K） and a blueshift at high temperature （318--403 K）. The blueshift can be explained by the thermally active phonon-assisted tunneling from the excited states of the low-energy emission band to the excited states of the high-energy emission band.

Synthesis and Growth Mechanism： A Novel Fishing Rod-Shaped GaN Nanorods

A novel fishing rod-shaped GaN nanorod is successfully fabricated through a new method by using the two-step growth technology. This growth method is applicable to continuous synthesis and is able to produce a large number of single-crystalline GaN nanorods with a relatively high purity and at a low cost. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy are used to characterize the as- synthesized nanorods. The results show that most of the nanorods consist of a main rod and a top curved thread. It is single-crystal GaN with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The representative photoluminescence spectrum at room temperature exhibits a strong UV light emission band centered at 370.8nm. Furthermore, a possible two-stage growth mechanism of the fishing rod-shaped GaN nanorod is also briefly discussed.

Their microstructures and morphologies are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electronic microscope, and the results show that each of all the samples has a monophasic zircon-type structure. The absorption spectrum of the prepared phosphor shows a blue-shift of the fundamental absorption band edge with increasing the gadolinium content. Under UV-light and visible-light excitation, all the prepared phosphors show the typical luminescence properties of Eu3＋ in the zircon-type structure. The emission intensity of GdxBi0.95-xVO4：0.05Eu3＋ （x = 0.55） is strongest in all samples under UV-light and visible-light excitations. Finally, the mechanisms of luminescence of Eu3＋ in the GdxBi0.95-xVO4：0.05Eu3＋ （x = 0-0.95） solid solutions are analyzed and discussed.
