Fluorescent properties of a blue-to green-emitting Ce3+, Tb3+ codoped amorphous calcium silicate phosphors

Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ codoped amorphous calcium silicate phosphor was prepared by heating (830 °C for 30 min) Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ codoped calcium silicate hydrate phosphor formed by liquid-phase reaction. The excitation peak wavelength of the resulting phosphor was 330 nm and the emission peak wavelengths were at 544 nm, attributed to the ⁵D₄→⁷F₅ transition of Tb³⁺, and at 430–470 mm, attributed to Ce³⁺. The intensity ratio of the two peaks could be freely controlled by varying the Tb/Ca atomic ratio of the Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ codoped amorphous calcium silicate phosphor, allowing light to be emitted over a wide range from blue to green. It was clarified that energy transfer exists from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺.     

Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of YVO4:Eu3+, Al3+ phosphor

The Y_0.95?xAl_xVO₄:5%Eu³⁺ (0≤x≤0.1) phosphors were successfully synthesized by solid state reaction at 900 °C for 6 h, and their luminescence properties were investigated under UV and VUV excitation. Monitoring at 619 nm, a strong broad absorption was enhanced by co-doping of Al³⁺ into the YVO₄:Eu³⁺ lattices at 256 nm under UV excitation. The VUV excitation spectra also showed the enhanced excitation bands at about 156 and 200 nm. Under 254 or 147 nm excitation, it was found that Y_0.95?xAl_xVO₄:Eu³⁺(0≤x≤0.1) phosphors showed strong red emission at about 619 nm corresponding to the electric dipole ⁵D₀^–7F₂ transition of Eu³⁺. The improvement of luminescence intensity of YVO₄:Eu³⁺ was also observed after partial substituting Y³⁺ by Al³⁺ and the optimal luminescence intensity appeared with incorporation of 2.5 mol% Al³⁺.     

Luminescent properties and energy transfer of double-emitting NaSrPO4:Eu2+,Tb3+ phosphor for near-UV white LEDs

Novel blue/green NaSrPO₄ phosphors co-doped with Eu²⁺ and Tb³⁺ were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction. Their luminescent properties were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, lifetime, and temperature dependent emission spectra, respectively. The NaSrPO₄:Eu²⁺,Tb³⁺,Na⁺ phosphor showed an intense broad excitation band between 250 and 430 nm, which was in agreement with the near-UV chip (350–420 nm), and it exhibited two dominating emission bands at 445 and 545 nm, corresponding to the allowed 4f⁶5d¹→4f⁷(⁸S_7/2) transition of Eu²⁺ ion and the ⁵D₄→⁷F₅ transition of Tb³⁺ ion, respectively. The emission intensity and lifetime of Eu²⁺ ion decreased with the increasing concentration of Tb³⁺ ion, which strongly indicated that an effective energy transfer occurred from Eu²⁺ to Tb³⁺ in NaSrPO₄ host. The principle of the energy transfer should be the combined effect of the non-radiative resonant energy transfer and the phonon-assisted non-radiative process.     

The energy transfer from Eu2+ to Tb3+ in calcium chlorapatite phosphor and its potential application in LEDs

Energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Tb³⁺ was observed by investigating the optical properties from photoluminescence spectra and decay time curves in Tb³⁺ singly doped and Eu²⁺–Tb³⁺ co-doped calcium chlorapatite, Ca₅(PO₄)₃Cl (CPCl). It is dominated by the cooperation of a phonon-assisted energy transfer process and a non-radiative resonant energy transfer process caused by the exchange interaction. Eu²⁺–Tb³⁺ co-doped calcium chlorapatite phosphors in which Tb³⁺ can be efficiently excited by 400 nm are potential candidates for phosphor-converted LED.     

Photoluminescence in GdVO4:Bi3+, Eu3+ red phosphor

The doubly doped (Bi³⁺ and Eu³⁺) GdVO₄ powder is synthesized by hydrolyzed colloid reaction (HCR) technique and formation of material is confirmed by XRD measurement. Surface morphology has been studied by SEM measurement and the result shows uniform surface morphology. The average particle size observed by SEM is about 1 7m. The Fritsch particle sizer is used to study the particle size distribution. It distributes from O.15 to 3.57 7m. The small particle size (less than 5 7m) and the narrow particle size distribution, are the necessary requirements of good phosphor material. Photoluminescence result shows a narrow emission line of Eu³⁺ ion (4 nm FWHM) at 618 nm. The Eu³⁺ emission intensity is enhanced by a factor of five with the addition of small amount of Bi³⁺. The emission bands of VO₄^3- and Bi³⁺ partially overlap with the excitation band of Eu³⁺. The process of energy transfer from Bi³⁺ to Eu³⁺ is discussed here. The energy transfer probability is strongly dependent upon the Bi³⁺ and Eu³⁺ concentrations, with a maximum for 0.2 mol % of Bi³⁺ and 3 mol % of Eu³⁺. It drastically decreases for higher concentrations. For photoluminescent applications, the quantum efficiency (QE) of a phosphor material is an important parameter. The QE of GdVO₄:Bi,Eu(0.2,3) is 76%. The GdVO₄:Bi,Eu(0.2,3) material is proposed as an efficient photoluminescent phosphor.     

Luminescence properties and energy transfer in Eu2+, Mn2+ codoped Na(Sr,Ba)PO4 phosphor

Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ singly doped and codoped Na(Sr,Ba)PO₄ phosphors were synthesized, and their luminescent properties were investigated. A broad blue emission and a broad orange emission band were observed in Na(Sr,Ba)PO₄:Eu²⁺, Mn²⁺ phosphor. The resonant-type energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Mn²⁺ was demonstrated, and the energy transfer efficiency was also calculated according to their emission spectra. Based on the principle of energy transfer, the emission intensity ration of Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ could be appropriately tuned by adjusting the contents of activators. Due to the strong absorption in the 250–400 nm range, Na(Sr,Ba)PO₄:Eu²⁺, Mn²⁺ phosphor could be used as a potential candidate for near-UV white light-emitting diodes (LEDs).     

Luminescence and energy transfer in Eu2+,Mn2+ codoped Na2BaMgP2O8 phosphor

Eu²⁺ single-doped and Eu²⁺/Mn²⁺-codoped Na₂BaMgP₂O₈ phosphors were prepared by a combustion-assisted synthesis method. The phase formation was confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction measurement. Na₂BaMgP₂O₈:Eu²⁺,Mn²⁺ shows a broad blue emission band and a red emission band, which originate from Eu²⁺ occupying the Ba²⁺ sites and Mn²⁺ occupying the Mg²⁺ sites, respectively. The efficient energy transfer from Eu²⁺ to Mn²⁺ is verified by the excitation and emission spectra together with the luminescence decay curves. Based on the principle of energy transfer, the relative intensities of blue and red emissions could be tuned by adjusting the contents of Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺.     

Persistent luminescence properties of SrMg2(PO4)2:Eu2+,Tb3+

We investigate the persistent luminescence in europium-doped SrMg₂(PO₄)₂ upon codoping with auxiliary terbium. Luminescence properties of the phosphors, including photoluminescence, luminescence decay and thermoluminescence, are systematically studied. SrMg₂(PO₄)₂:Eu²⁺ shows only a weak persistent luminescence, and codoping with Tb³⁺ is necessary to obtain considerable persistent luminescence. An energy level scheme is constructed to convey reasonable trapping and detrapping processes in the material.     

Nonradiative energy transfer from Mn2+ to Eu3+ in K2CaP2O7:Mn2+,Eu3+ phosphor

A series of color tunable phosphors K₂Ca_1?x?yP₂O₇:xMn²⁺, yEu³⁺ are synthesized by solid state reaction method. The energy transfer phenomenon from Mn²⁺ to Eu³⁺ has been observed in the Mn²⁺/Eu³⁺ codoped non-magnetic K₂CaP₂O₇ host, which was confirmed by PL spectra and decay curves. The Mn²⁺→Eu³⁺ energy transfer is controlled by quadrupole–quadrupole interaction between sensitizer and activator. The maximum efficiency of energy transfer is estimated to be 33% with x=0.125 and y=0.03 in K₂Ca_1?x?yP₂O₇:xMn²⁺, yEu³⁺ phosphor. The phosphors can emit light from green to yellow and eventually to orange under 400 nm excitation by changing the Mn²⁺/Eu³⁺ content ratio, indicating that K₂CaP₂O₇: Mn²⁺, Eu³⁺ would be potential candidates for use in lighting and displays applications.     

Preparation and fluorescence properties of novel red-emitting Eu-activated amorphous alkaline earth silicate phosphors

This study reports the synthesis of novel red-emitting Eu³⁺-activated amorphous alkaline earth silicate phosphors with high emission intensities. Eu³⁺-activated barium (strontium) silicate hydrate phosphors were synthesized using a liquid phase reaction and then heated at 850 °C for 0.5 h to form amorphous barium (strontium) silicate phosphors. These amorphous phosphors emitted in the red region following near-UV (395 nm) irradiation. The internal quantum efficiencies of the Eu³⁺-activated amorphous barium silicate phosphor and strontium silicate phosphor were 56% and 60%, respectively, even though these phosphors were in the amorphous state.

Photoluminescence characterization of a novel red-emitting phosphor In2(MoO4)3:Eu3+ for white light emitting diodes

The red-emitting phosphor In₂(MoO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ with cubic crystal structure was synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction technique and its photoluminescence properties were investigated. The prepared phosphor can be efficiently excited by ultraviolet (395 nm) and blue (466 nm) light. The emission spectra of the phosphor manifest intensive red-emitting lines at 612 nm due to the electric dipole ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ transitions of Eu³⁺. The chromaticity coordinates of x=0.63, y=0.35 (λ_ex=395 nm) and x=0.60, y=0.38 (λ_ex=466 nm) are close to the standard of National Television Standard Committee values (NTSC) values. The concentration quenching of In₂(MoO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ is 40 mol% and the concentration self-quenching mechanism under 466 nm excitation was the dd intereaction. As a result of the strong emission intensity and good excitation, the phosphor In₂(MoO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ is regarded as a promising red-emitting conversion material for white LEDs.

Li~+对Tb~(3+)掺杂硅酸盐玻璃闪烁性能的影响

利用高温熔融法制备了Li+掺杂Tb3+激活硅酸盐闪烁玻璃。通过Li+掺杂Tb3+激活硅酸盐玻璃的紫外可见透射光谱、发射光谱和发光衰减时间谱,研究了Li+的加入对Tb3+掺杂硅酸盐玻璃发光性能的影响。结果表明:适量Li+的加入可有效增强Tb3+激活硅酸盐玻璃的发光强度,且相比于不掺杂Li+的Tb3+掺杂硅酸盐玻璃而言,当掺入质量分数为2.0%的Li+时,Tb3+在玻璃中的最佳掺杂质量分数由12.8%提高至15.3%。其原因是Li+掺杂增加了玻璃体系中非桥氧的数量,从而有利于改善Tb3+在玻璃体中的均匀性,降低Tb3+间因非辐射跃迁而引起的能量损失,以及提高Tb3+的最佳掺杂质量分数。但当掺入Li+的质量分数超过2.0%时,会对Tb3+激活硅酸盐玻璃的闪烁光强产生负面影响,这是因为过多的非桥氧阻碍了X射线激发能达到Tb3+离子的能量传递。
