Luminescence and energy transfer of white-light emitting CaAl2SiO6:Ce3+, Tb3+ phosphors

A novel white-light emitting CaAl₂SiO₆: Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ phosphor has been prepared by a sol–gel method. X-ray diffractometry and spectrofluorometry were used to characterize structural and optical properties of the samples. The results indicate that the crystal structure of the phosphor is a single phase of CaAl₂SiO₆. The excitation band of the phosphor covers a wide region from 240 nm to 380 nm. CaAl₂SiO₆: Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ phosphors show four emission bands: one at 400 nm for Ce³⁺ and three at 487 nm, 543 nm and 585 nm for Tb³⁺. With appropriate tuning of Tb³⁺ content, white light with different hues can be achieved under UV radiation. The energy transfer mechanism from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ in CaAl₂SiO₆ host was demonstrated to be dipole–dipole interaction.     

Luminescence properties and energy transfer in Ba2Y(BO3)2Cl:Ce3+,Tb3+ phosphors

Novel green-emitting Ba₂Y(BO₃)₂Cl:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ phosphors were synthesized by a solid-state method. X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectra were utilized to characterize the structures and luminescence properties of the as-synthesized phosphors, respectively. Ba₂Y(BO₃)₂Cl:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ phosphors exhibit blue and green emission bands under the excitation of near-ultraviolet light. An asymmetric blue emission originates from the Ce³⁺ ion, whereas the green emission originates from the Tb³⁺ ion. A spectral overlap is found between the emission band of the Ce³⁺ ion and the excitation band of the Tb³⁺ ion, which supports the occurrence of the energy transfer from the Ce³⁺ ion to the Tb³⁺ ion. Meanwhile, the energy transfer is thoroughly investigated by their photoluminescence decay behaviors. The energy-transfer efficiency from the Ce³⁺ ion to the Tb³⁺ ion is also calculated, and a possible mechanism is proposed.

Luminescence and energy transfer in phosphor LiAl5O8: Ce3+, Dy3+

Ce³⁺ and Dy³⁺-doped LiAl₅O₈ were synthesized in the present study. The luminescence properties of Ce³⁺ and Dy³⁺, and the energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Dy³⁺ were investigated. The Ce³⁺ species in LiAl₅O₈ emit one broad band that peaks at 351 nm under the excitation of ultraviolet light, which is attributed to the 5d–4f transitions of Ce³⁺. The luminescence of Dy³⁺ in singly doped LiAl₅O₈ can not be detected due to its low oscillator strength. However, Dy³⁺ emit intense blue (477 nm) and yellow (569 nm) light after the introduction of Ce³⁺. This phenomenon demonstrates that there exists effective energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Dy³⁺, which occurs because the emission spectrum of Ce³⁺ perfectly overlays the excitation spectrum of Dy³⁺. The energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Dy³⁺ is performed through dipole–dipole interactions. The experimental results show that LiAl₅O₈ co-doped with Ce³⁺ and Dy³⁺ can be a potential two-band (blue and yellow) phosphor.

采用高温固相法合成了BaZnP2 01:Eu2 ,Mn2 荧光粉,并对其发光性质及Eu2 对Mn2 的能量传递机理进行了研究.Eu2 和Mn2 在380 am和670 nm的发射峰分别由Eu2 的5d-14f跃迁和Mn2 的4T1(4G)-6A1(6S)跃迁产生.Eu2 对Mn2 的发光有很强的敏化作用,根据Dexter电多极相互作用的能量传递概率公式,判断出BaZnP2O7中Eu2 对Mn2 的能量传递属于电偶极-电四极相互作用引起的共振能量传递.     

Cathodoluminescence properties of Tb3+-doped Na3YSi2O7 phosphors

Tb³⁺-doped Na₃YSi₂O₇ phosphors were prepared by the sol–gel method and then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy. The XRD results reveal that the Tb³⁺ ions have been introduced as dopants into the Na₃YSi₂O₇ host lattice. Under low-voltage electron beam excitation, the phosphors exhibit the characteristic emissions of Tb³⁺ (⁵ D _3,4→⁷ F _J , J=3–6 transitions). The luminescence color of the phosphors can be tuned from greenish-blue to bluish-green and to green by controlling the Tb³⁺ concentration within the 0.0005–0.15 (x value). The optimum Tb³⁺ doping concentration is 10 mol%, and the “dead voltage” is approximately 1.35 kV. All results indicate that the sample is a phosphor candidate for field-emission displays.

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⁺.     

Energy transfer in CaSiO3 phosphors doped with Ce3+ and Tb3+

Calcium metasilicate phosphors activated by Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ have been studied for their emission characteristics. In two series of phosphors, one activator was kept at its optimum value while the other was varied. In another two series, one activator was kept below its optimum value and the other was varied. Concentration quenching effects start when each activator gives its maximum emission. There is clear evidence of an energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ because the⁵ D ₃ lines appear on addition of Ce³⁺ while they were conspicuously absent when Tb³⁺ alone was present. Their absence in singly activated phosphors could not have been due to cross-relaxation. Obviously X-ray excitation does not lead to⁵ D ₃ transitions which are achieved only by energy transfer. Further, considering the features of the emission spectra and the concentrations of activators used, the transfer could only be of the dipole-dipole type.     

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.

Study on the color tunability and energy transfer mechanism in Tb3+, Sm3+ co-doped LiLaSiO4 phosphors

A several of LiLaSiO₄: xTb³⁺, ySm³⁺ (LLSO) phosphors were synthesized by high-temperature solid-phase reaction. Through SEM, XRD and fluorescence spectrometer, the phase, morphology, luminescence properties and energy transfer of the samples were systematically analyzed and discussed. Under an excitation of 378 nm wavelength, LLSO: xTb³⁺ phosphors emit green light, and the concentration quenching point of Tb³⁺ ions was x = 0.08. In LLSO: xTb³⁺, ySm³⁺ phosphors, When Sm³⁺ ions doping molar mass fraction increases, the fluorescence intensity of Tb³⁺ ion decreases while the fluorescence intensity of Sm³⁺ ions first strengthen and then weaken. The concentration quenching point of Sm³⁺ ions was y = 0.04. By changing the proportion of Sm³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions, the luminous color can be adjusted from green to red. There is effective energy transfer between Tb³⁺→Sm³⁺. The molar mass fraction of doping Sm³⁺ ions is y = 0.10, the energy transfer efficiency reaches 96.67%. The energy transfer mechanism is the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. The quantum yield is 22.34%. Therefore, LLSO: xTb³⁺, ySm³⁺ phosphors have certain potential application value in the field of ultraviolet-near ultraviolet white LEDs.
