稀土红色荧光粉SrZnO2∶Eu3+的发光性能

A series of novel luminescent materials, SrZnO₂∶M (M=Eu³⁺, or Eu³⁺ + Li⁺) have been synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction. The structure and luminescence properties of SrZnO₂∶Eu³⁺ phosphor were studied through XRD, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. The excitation spectra show a broad intense band and a number of small peaks corresponding to the inner 4f-shell excitations of Eu³⁺ (the strongest one is at 395 nm for ⁷F₀-⁵L₆). After SrZnO₂∶Eu³⁺ phosphor was co-doped with Li⁺ ions, its charge transfer band extended to longer wavelengths. This resulted in increase of luminescent quantum efficiency of the sample. SrZnO₂∶Eu³⁺,Li⁺ phosphor can be efficiently excited by longer UV. From the fluorescence spectrum of SrZnO₂∶Eu³⁺ phosphor, apart from transition emissions of ⁵D₀→ ⁷F_J (J=0～4), the transition emissions from ⁵D₁ → ⁷F_J (J=0～2) have been observed. For the SrZnO₂∶Eu³⁺ phosphor, under excitation of UV, the dominant emission is at about 612 nm, due to the ⁵D₀→ ⁷F₂ hypersensitive transition. The incorporation of Li⁺ ions greatly enhanced the luminescence intensity and made emission peak from ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ transition red-shifted.     

Eu3+在Ba2TiSi2O8中的发光

The barium titano-silicate phosphors doped with Eu³⁺ were synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction. The structures of as-synthesized samples were characterized by powder XRD. The maximum peaks of emission spectra of Ba₂TiSi₂O₈ and Ba₂TiSi₂O₈∶Eu³⁺ were respectively located at 450 and 618 nm, coming from the transitions of charge-transfer bands of Ti⁴⁺-O^2- and forced electric-dipole transition ⁵D₀-⁷F₂ of Eu³⁺. The luminous mechanisms of Ba₂TiSi₂O₈ and Ba₂TiSi₂O₈∶Eu³⁺ were suggested. The effects of concentration of Eu³⁺ on the luminous performance of Ba₂TiSi₂O₈∶Eu³⁺ were also studied and the results showed that the optimum concentration of Eu³⁺ was 0.12 mol per mole of matrix.

凝胶-燃烧法合成YAG∶Eu3+纳米荧光材料的结构和发光性能

Y₃Al₅O₁₂∶Eu nanophosphors were synthesized by a gel combustion method. The structure of phosphors was characterized by XRD and FTIR. YAG phase came to occur when YAG∶Eu precursors were sintered at 800 ℃, although the phase was mainly amorphous. The organic groups pyrolyzed completely and pure YAG phase was obtained in the samples sintered at 900 ℃. In the formation of YAG phase, no intermediate phases such as YAP and YAM were detected. Both ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁ orange and ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ red emission could be observed for all the sintered samples. However, the emission of amorphous samples was greatly different from that of crystalline ones. The former was mainly ⁵D₀→ ⁷F₂ red emission, but the latter was ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁ orange emission. As sintering temperature rises, the ratio of orange to red for phosphors increases. Eu could be doped up to 8% in YAG host lattice, and fluorescence quenching was absent. It indicated that the gel combustion synthesis method can increase emission intensity and quenching concentration due to a good distribution of Eu³⁺ activators in Y₃Al₅O₁₂ matrix.     

球形La2O3∶Eu纳米晶的制备及其发光特性

The spheric La₂O₃∶Eu nanocrystals were prepared using NH₃·H₂O-NH₄HCO₃ mixture as precipitant. The material was characterized by FTIR, XRD and TEM techniques. The luminescence properties of Eu³⁺ in spheric La₂O₃ were measured by three dimension spectra, emission and excitation spectra. The results indicate that the La₂O₃∶Eu nanocrystals are in hexagonal phase by annealing at 800 ℃, the crystal size is about 30 nm. The maximum emission and excitation wavelength were determined by three dimensional spectroscopy to be at 591 nm and 394 nm, respectively. In emission spectrum the band at 591 nm and 612 nm are corresponding to ⁵D₀-⁷F₁ and ⁵D₀-⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺ ions. With increasing in annealing temperature the differences of intensity of the two transitions are increased. This phenomenon shows that the luminescence intensity of La₂O₃∶Eu nanocrystals can be tuned by changing annealing temperature.

采用微波固相法制备了CaWO₄：xEu³⁺,ySm³⁺,zLi⁺红色荧光粉。测量样品的XRD图、激发谱、发射谱及发光衰减曲线,研究并分析了Eu³⁺、Sm³⁺、Li⁺的掺杂浓度,对样品微结构、光致发光特性、能量传递及能级寿命的影响。结果表明,Eu³⁺、Sm³⁺、Li⁺掺杂并未引起合成粉体改变晶相,仍为CaWO₄单一四方晶系结构。Eu³⁺、Sm³⁺共掺样品中,Sm³⁺掺杂为3%时,Sm³⁺对Eu³⁺的能量传递最有效。Li⁺掺杂起到了助熔剂和敏化剂的作用,使样品发光更强。在394 nm激发下,与CaWO₄：3%Eu³⁺样品比较,3%Eu³⁺、3%Sm³⁺共掺CaWO₄及3%Eu³⁺、3%Sm³⁺、1%Li⁺共掺CaWO₄样品的发光分别增强2倍及2.4倍。同一激发波长下,单掺Eu³⁺样品寿命最短,Sm³⁺、Eu³⁺共掺样品随Sm³⁺浓度增加,寿命先减小后增加,且掺杂了Li⁺的样品比不掺Li⁺的样品⁵D₀能级寿命有所增加。     

Eu3+在La2O2S中的长余辉发光

The new Eu³⁺ doped lanthanum oxysulfide phosphors,which have the orange-red long afterg low emission,were synthesized by solid-state reaction method.The synthesized phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction.The excitation and emission spectra,afterglow spectra and afterglow decay curves were examined.XRD confirmed the phosphor as pure phase La₂O₂S.The phosphors showed typical transitions ⁵D_J(J=0,1) → ⁷J_J(J=0,1,2,3,4)of Eu³⁺.The photoluminescence spectra and afterglow spectra presented the regular alteration with various Eu³⁺ concentration, due to cross relaxation between energy levels of Eu³⁺. In addition, we studied the effects of activator concentration and dopants species on the afterglow property. The data showed afterglow result was the best with 2 % Eu³⁺ and doped with Mg²⁺ and Zr⁴⁺. A prominent phosphorescence can be seen in this phosphor after illuminated with UV light.     

Eu3+掺杂SiO2-B2O3-NaF玻璃的制备及发光性质

The Eu-doped SiO₂-B₂O₃-NaF glass was prepared by sol-gel process, using tetraethoxy Silicane, boric acid and sodium fluoride as starting materials, 0.10 mol·L^-1 EuCl₃ solution as the dopant. The luminescent properties of Eu³⁺ doped SiO₂-B₂O₃-NaF phosphors were investigated. The phosphors showed prominent luminescence in pink, the strong emission of Eu³⁺ comes from electronic transition of ⁵D₀- ⁷F₁（591 nm）and ⁵D₀- ⁷F₂（615 nm）,which derived from two transition modes of magnetic-dipole and electric-dipole .The peak intensity of 591nm in SiO₂-B₂O₃-NaF matrix is much stronger than it in the other matrixes, it means that SiO₂-B₂O₃-NaF has sensitization on the transition of ⁵D₀- ⁷F₁ (Eu³⁺). If there are broad bonds in the range of 275～380 nm in the excitation spectrum of Eu³⁺ -doped SiO₂-B₂O₃-NaF glass, the emission peak intensity should be intensified. It is because the electron migration CT band of O^2--Eu³⁺. For all Eu³⁺ concentrations used, the investigation found that when the mass of fraction got to 29.19×10^-3, the luminescence intensity reached the summit. And there is a phenomenon of concentration quenching. Investigation with the same concentration of Eu³⁺ at different annealed temperature, we found that the sample annealed at 400 ℃, the luminescence intensity achieved its maximum value, and Eu³⁺ in this matrix had a phenomenon of temperature quenching. The structural characterization of these luminescent materials was carried by used XRD and TEM. The result showed that the phosphor was in amorphous phase.     

助熔剂法制备的LaMgAl11O19∶Eun+(n=2，3)的发光特性

LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉∶Euⁿ⁺(n=2,3) was synthesized by solid state reaction using H₃BO₃ as a flux at 1 400 ℃ for 4 hours. And their luminescent properties was investigated under UV and VUV excitation. Strong pure blue emission due to d-f transition of Eu²⁺ was observed in LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉∶Eu²⁺ both in 254 nm and 147 nm excitation. At the same time, red emission due to ⁵D₀ → ⁷F_J (J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transition of Eu³⁺ also observed in LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉∶Eu³⁺. The dependence of emission intensity of blue/red emission on Eu²⁺ / Eu³⁺-content was evaluated. The result indicated that the blue emission intensity was arrived optimum when Eu²⁺-content was 0.10 mol·mol^-1under both UV and VUV excitation while red emission intensity reached optimum when Eu³⁺-content was 0.125 mol·mol^-1 under UV excitation. This suggests that LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉∶Eu²⁺ phosphors could be potential blue phosphor for the application in PDP.     

CaWO4中Eu3+的长余辉发光

Eu³⁺ activated CaWO₄ was prepared by high temperature solid state reaction technique. Red afterglow was observed for in the CaWO₄∶Eu after exciting with 254 nm light due to Eu³⁺ transition from ⁵D₀ to ⁷F_J (J=0, 1, 2, 3,4). By the calculation of the thermoluminescence spectrum of CaWO₄∶Eu, we conclude that there were two types of trap centers: V_Ca″ was formed by substitution of Ca²⁺ by Eu³⁺ and complex traps were produced because of substitution of W⁶⁺ by Eu³⁺.     

A novel red emitting phosphor Ca2SnO4: Eu

A novel red emitting phosphor, Eu³⁺-doped Ca₂SnO₄, was prepared by the solid-state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of Ca₂SnO₄: Eu³⁺. Field-emission scanning electron-microscopy (FE-SEM) observation indicated a narrow size-distribution of about 500 nm for the particles with spherical shape. Photoluminescence measurements indicated that the phosphor exhibits bright red emission at about 615 nm under UV excitation. The excellent luminescence properties make it possible as a good candidate for plasma display panels (PDP) application. Splitting of the ⁵D₀-⁷F_J transitions of Ca₂SnO₄: Eu³⁺ suggests that the Eu³⁺ ions occupied two nonequivalent sites in the crystallite. The luminescence lifetime measurement showed a bi-exponential decay, providing other evidence for the existence of two different environments for Eu³⁺ ions.

Photoluminescence of new red phosphor SrZnO2:Eu

SrZnO₂:Eu³⁺ has been synthesized by solid-state reaction and its photoluminescence in ultraviolet (UV)-vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range was investigated. The broad bands around 254 nm are assigned to CT band of Eu³⁺-O²⁻. With the increasing of Eu³⁺ concentration, Eu³⁺ could occupy different sites, which leads to the broadening of CT band. A sharp band is observed in the region of 110-130 nm, which is related to the host absorption. The phosphors emit red luminescence centered at about 616 nm due to Eu³⁺⁵D₀→⁷F₂ both under 254 and 147 nm, but none of Eu²⁺ blue emission can be observed.     

Sonochemical synthesis and luminescence properties of single-crystalline BaF2:Eu nanospheres

BaF₂ nanocrystals doped with 5.0 mol% Eu³⁺ has been successfully synthesized via a facile, quick and efficient ultrasonic solution route employing the reactions between Ba(NO₃)₂, Eu(NO₃)₃ and KBF₄ under ambient conditions. The product was characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron micrographs (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The ultrasonic irradiation has a strong effect on the morphology of the BaF₂:Eu³⁺ particles. The caddice-sphere-like particles with an average diameter of 250 nm could be obtained with ultrasonic irradiation, whereas only olive-like particles were produced without ultrasonic irradiation. The results of XRD indicate that the obtained BaF₂:Eu³⁺ nanospheres crystallized well with a cubic structure. The PL spectrum shows that the BaF₂:Eu³⁺ nanospheres has the characteristic emission of Eu^{3+ 5}D₀-⁷F_J (J=1-4) transitions, with the magnetic dipole ⁵D₀-⁷F₁ allowed transition (590 nm) being the most prominent emission line.

A new promising phosphor, Na3La2(BO3)3:Ln (Ln=Eu, Tb)

We present an efficient way to search a host for ultraviolet (UV) phosphor from UV nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. With the guidance, Na₃La₂(BO₃)₃ (NLBO), as a promising NLO material with a broad transparency range and high damage threshold, was adopted as a host material for the first time. The lanthanide ions (Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺)-doped NLBO phosphors have been synthesized by solid-state reaction. Luminescent properties of the Ln-doped (Ln=Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺) sodium lanthanum borate were investigated under UV ray excitation. The emission spectrum was employed to probe the local environments of Eu³⁺ ions in NLBO crystal. For red phosphor, NLBO:Eu, the measured dominating emission peak was at 613 nm, which is attributed to ⁵D₀-⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺. The luminescence indicates that the local symmetry of Eu³⁺ in NLBO crystal lattice has no inversion center. Optimum Eu³⁺ concentration of NLBO:Eu³⁺ under UV excitation with 395 nm wavelength is about 30 mol%. The green phosphor, NLBO:Tb, showed bright green emission at 543 with 252 nm excited light. The measured concentration quenching curve demonstrated that the maximum concentration of Tb³⁺ in NLBO was about 20%. The luminescence mechanism of Ln-doped NLBO (Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺) was analyzed. The relative high quenching concentration was also discussed.     

Photoluminescence properties of a novel phosphor, Na3La9O3(BO3)8:RE(RE=Eu,Tb)

The new oxyborate phosphors, Na₃La₉O₃(BO₃)₈:Eu³⁺ (NLBO:Eu) and Na₃La₉O₃(BO₃)₈:Tb³⁺ (NLBO:Tb) were prepared by solid-state reactions. The photoluminescence characteristics under UV excitation were investigated. The dominated emission of Eu³⁺ corresponding to the electric dipole transition ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ is located at 613 nm and bright green luminescence of NLBO:Tb attributed to the transition ⁵D₄→⁷F₅ is centered at 544 nm. The concentration dependence of the emission intensity showed that the optimum doping concentration of Eu and Tb is 30% and 10%, respectively.     

Ion-exchange chromatography using vanadyl and vandate salts as mobile phases with indirect detection

Summary Vanadyl sulfate, VOSO₄, was characterized as the mobile phase for the ion exchange separation of Li⁺, Na⁺, NH ₄ ⁺ , and K⁺ using indirect photometric detection at 254 nm. Detection limits ranged from 0.2 ppm for Li⁺ to 1 ppm for K⁺. Indirect electrochemical detection of these separated cations by reduction of VO (II) to V³⁺ was compared to spectrophotometric detection. The potential of the vanadate species, HVO ₄ ^2– , for the separation of F^–, Cl^–, and SO ₄ ^2– , with indirect photometric detection was also demonstrated.
