在NaGdF4：Tm3+, Dy3+中Gd3+间的能量迁移及Gd3+-Dy3+能量传递量子效率

基于量子剪裁基本原理,通过光谱技术研究NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺在一个真空紫外光子激发下获得两个蓝色光子的可能性。在这种化合物中,量子剪裁通过下转换,即通过应用不同镧系离子间的能量传递进行。通过对Tm 4f¹²-4f¹¹5d激发,部分能量从Tm³⁺离子5d态直接传递给Gd³⁺,然后在Gd³⁺-Tm³⁺之间发生交叉弛豫,剩余能量从Gd³⁺传递给Dy³⁺,产生两个可见光子发射,一个来自Tm³⁺的¹G₄-³H₆跃迁,另一个来自Dy³⁺的⁴F_9/2-⁶H_15/2跃迁。主要研究获得以NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺为基础的新型具有更高效率,更高稳定性和更强真空紫外(VUV)吸收量子剪裁发光粉的可能性。各种光谱技术,如光致发光、激发和衰减等被用来表征不同Dy³⁺浓度掺杂NaGdF₄中Gd³⁺晶格间能量迁移引起的施主Gd³⁺和受主Dy³⁺之间的能量传递。结果表明Gd³⁺离子之间存在能量迁移,随之交换相互作用引起施主与受主(Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺)之间的能量传递。通过Bursh-tein等人关于激发态的弛豫理论,施主-受主能量传递参数k_DS可以从Gd³⁺的⁶P_7/2发射的衰减计算出。Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺能量传递量子效率也可以得到。NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺和NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺是由水热法制备的,NaGdF₄:Dy³⁺是由文献[4]方法制备的。发射光谱和激发光谱通过自制的VUV光谱仪和F-4500测量。衰减曲线由OPO激光器激发获得Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺之间能量传递量子效率在受主浓度大约在N_A=0.6%时达到最佳值,并且明显地观测到浓度猝灭效应。

Luminescence of La3F3[Si3O9]:Ce

The luminescence properties of Ce³⁺ in La₃F₃[Si₃O₉] are reported. Excitation and emission bands corresponding to 4f¹→5d¹ transitions of Ce³⁺ were identified. The center of gravity of the 5d states lies at remarkable high energy (43.2×10³ cm⁻¹) for Ce³⁺ in a silicate compound. This high value is attributed to the combined oxygen/fluoride coordination of the Ce³⁺ ion. Emission from the lowest 4f5d level to the ²F_5/2 and ²F_7/2 levels was found at 32.4×10³ and 30.4×10³ cm⁻¹. These results are compared with literature data on silicates and fluorides. From the values found for Ce³⁺, predictions are made for the positions of the 4f5d bands of Pr³⁺ and Er³⁺ in La₃F₃[Si₃O₉]. For both ions, it is concluded that in this host lattice emission is expected from high lying 4fⁿ energy levels.     

Crystal structure and photoluminescence of (Y1−xCex)2Si3O3N4

Oxonitridosilicate phosphors with compositions of (Y_1−xCe_x)₂Si₃O₃N₄ (x=0−0.2) have been synthesized by solid state reaction method. The structures and photoluminescence properties have been investigated. Ce³⁺ ions have substituted for Y³⁺ ions in the lattice. The emission and excitation spectra of these phosphors show the characteristic photoluminescence spectra of Ce³⁺ ions. Based on the analyses of the diffuse reflection spectra and the PL spectra, a systematic energy diagram of Ce³⁺ ion in the forbidden band of sample with x=0.02 is given. The best doping Ce content in these phosphors is ∼2 mol%. The quenching temperature is ∼405 K for the 2 mol% Ce content sample. The luminescence decay properties were investigated. The primary studies indicate that these phosphors are potential candidates for application in three-phosphor-converted white LEDs.     

Emission features of Ho ion in Nb2O5, Ta2O5 and La2O3 mixed Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2 glasses

Li₂O-ZrO₂-SiO₂: Ho³⁺ glasses mixed with three interesting d-block elemental oxides, viz., Nb₂O₅, Ta₂O₅ and La₂O₃, were prepared. Optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra of these glasses have been recorded at room temperature. The luminescence spectra of Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅ mixed Li₂O-ZrO₂-SiO₂ glasses (free of Ho³⁺ ions) have also exhibited broad emission band in the blue region. This band is attributed to radiative recombination of self-trapped excitons (STEs) localized on substitutionally positioned octahedral Ta⁵⁺ and Nb⁵⁺ ions in the glass network. The Judd-Ofelt theory was successfully applied to characterize Ho³⁺ spectra of all the three glasses. From this theory various radiative properties, like transition probability A, branching ratio β_r and the radiative lifetime τ_r, for ⁵S₂ emission levels in the spectra of these glasses have been evaluated. The radiative lifetime for ⁵S₂ level of Ho³⁺ ions has also been measured and quantum efficiencies were estimated. Among the three glasses studied the La₂O₃ mixed glass exhibited the highest quantum efficiency. The reasons for such higher value have been discussed based on the relationship between the structural modifications taking place around the Ho³⁺ ions.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of nanocrystalline Gd2O3:Eu by combustion process

The nanocrystalline Gd₂O₃:Eu³⁺ powders with cubic phase were prepared by a combustion method in the presence of urea and glycol. The effects of the annealing temperature on the crystallization and luminescence properties were studied. The results of XRD show pure phase can be obtained, the average crystallite size could be calculated as 7, 8, 15, and 23 nm for the precursor and samples annealed at 600, 700 and 800 °C, respectively, which coincided with the results from TEM images. The emission intensity, host absorption and charge transfer band intensity increased with increasing the temperature. The slightly broad emission peak at 610 nm for smaller particles can be observed. The ratio of host absorption to O²⁻-Eu³⁺ charge transfer band of smaller nanoparticles is much stronger compared with that for larger nanoparticles, furthermore, the luminescence lifetimes of nanoparticles increased with increasing particles size. The effects of doping concentration of Eu³⁺ on luminescence lifetimes and intensities were also discussed. The samples exhibited a higher quenching concentration of Eu³⁺, and luminescence lifetimes of nanoparticles are related to annealing temperature of samples and the doping concentration of Eu³⁺ ions.     

Enhanced photoluminescence of Sm/Bi co-doped Gd2O3 phosphors by combustion synthesis

Gd₂O₃:Sm³⁺ and Gd₂O₃:Sm³⁺,Bi³⁺ powders were prepared by a combustion method. Their structures were determined using X-ray diffraction. UV-visible absorption and photoluminescence spectra were investigated for Gd₂O₃:Sm³⁺ and Gd₂O₃:Sm³⁺,Bi³⁺ at different annealing temperatures and different doping concentrations. The emission spectra of all samples presented the characteristic emission narrow lines arising from the ⁴G_5/2→⁶H_J transitions (J=5/2, 7/2, and 9/2) of Sm³⁺ ions upon excitation with UV irradiation. The emission intensity of Sm³⁺ ions was largely enhanced with introducing Bi³⁺ ions into Gd₂O₃:Sm³⁺ and the maximum occurred at a Bi³⁺ concentration of 0.5 mol%. The relevant mechanisms were discussed with the sensitization theory by Dexter and the aggregation behavior of Bi³⁺ ions.     

Luminescence studies on ZnO-P2O5 glasses doped with Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles and Eu2O3

Zinc phosphate glasses doped with Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles and Eu₂O₃ were prepared by conventional melt-quench method and characterized for their luminescence properties. Binary ZnO-P₂O₅ glass is characterized by an intrinsic defect centre emission around 324 nm. Strong energy transfer from these defect centres to Eu³⁺ ions has been observed when Eu₂O₃ is incorporated in ZnO-P₂O₅ glasses. Lack of energy transfer from these defect centres to Eu³⁺ in Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles doped ZnO-P₂O₅ glass has been attributed to effective shielding of Eu³⁺ ions from the luminescence centre by Gd-O-P type of linkages, leading to an increased distance between the luminescent centre and Eu³⁺ ions. Both doped and undoped glasses have the same glass transition temperature, suggesting that the phosphate network is not significantly affected by the Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles or Eu₂O₃ incorporation.     

Optical properties of (ZnO)0.5(P2O5)0.5 glasses doped with Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles and Eu2O3

Binary (ZnO)_0.5(P₂O₅)_0.5 glasses doped with Eu₂O₃ and nanoparticles of Gd₂O₃:Eu were prepared by conventional melt-quench method and their luminescence properties were compared. Undoped (ZnO)_0.5(P₂O₅)_0.5 glass is characterized by a luminescent defect centre (similar to L-centre present in Na₂O-SiO₂ glasses) with emission around 324 nm and having an excited state lifetime of 18 ns. Such defect centres can transfer the energy to Eu³⁺ ions leading to improved Eu³⁺ luminescence from such glasses. Based on the decay curves corresponding to the ⁵D₀ level of Eu³⁺ ions in both Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles incorporated as well as Eu₂O₃ incorporated glasses, a significant clustering of Eu³⁺ ions taking place with the latter sample is confirmed. From the lifetime studies of the excited state of L-centre emission from (ZnO)_0.5(P₂O₅)_0.5 glass doped with Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles, it is established that there exists weak energy transfer from L-centres to Eu³⁺ ions. Poor energy transfer from the defect centres to Eu³⁺ ions in Gd₂O₃:Eu nanoparticles doped (ZnO)_0.5(P₂O₅)_0.5 glass has been attributed to effective shielding of Eu³⁺ ions from the luminescence centre by Gd-O-P type of linkages, leading to an increased distance between luminescent centre and Eu³⁺ ions.     

Photoluminescence characterization of Ce and Dy doped Li2CaGeO4 phosphors

Ce³⁺ and Dy³⁺ activated Li₂CaGeO₄ phosphors were prepared by a solid-state reaction method, and characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and photoluminescence techniques. The characteristic emission bands of Dy³⁺ due to ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_15/2 (blue) and ⁴F_9/2→⁶H_13/2 (yellow) transitions were detected in the emission spectra of Li₂CaGeO₄:Dy³⁺. Ce³⁺ broad band emission was observed in Li₂CaGeO₄:Ce³⁺ phosphors at 372 and 400 nm due to 5d→4f transition when excited at 353 nm. Co-doping of Ce³⁺ enhanced the luminescence of Dy³⁺ significantly and concentration quenching occurs when Dy³⁺ is beyond 0.04 mol%. White-light with different hues can be realized by tuning Dy³⁺ concentration in the phosphors.     

Luminescence of Ce and Pr doped Sr2Mg(BO3)2 under VUV-UV and X-ray excitation

This report presents the luminescence properties of Ce³⁺ and Pr³⁺ activated Sr₂Mg(BO₃)₂ under VUV-UV and X-ray excitation. The five excitation bands of crystal field split 5d states are observed at about 46 729, 44 643, 41 667, 38 314 and 29 762 cm⁻¹ (i.e. 214, 224, 240, 261 and 336 nm) for Ce³⁺ in the host lattice. The doublet Ce³⁺ 5d→4f emission bands were found at about 25 840 and 24 096 cm⁻¹ (387 and 415 nm). The influence of doping concentration and temperature on the emission characteristics and the decay time of Ce³⁺ in Sr₂Mg(BO₃)₂ were investigated. For Pr³⁺ doped samples, the lowest 5d excitation band was observed at about 42017 cm⁻¹ (238 nm), a dominant band at around 35714 cm⁻¹ (280 nm) and two shoulder bands were seen in the emission spectra. The excitation and emission spectra of Ce³⁺ and Pr³⁺ were compared and discussed. The X-ray excited luminescence studies show that the light yields are ∼3200±230 and ∼1400±100 photons/MeV of absorbed X-ray energy for the samples Sr_1.86Ce_0.07Na_0.07Mg(BO₃)₂ and Sr_1.82Pr_0.09Na_0.09Mg(BO₃)₂ at RT, respectively.     

Characterization of the VUV excitation spectrum of BaZr(BO3)2:Eu

The excitation spectra of M (M=Si⁴⁺, Ti⁴⁺) and Eu³⁺ co-doped BaZr(BO₃)₂, BaZrO₃:Eu and La₂Zr₂O₇:Eu in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) regions of 110-300 nm are investigated and the host-lattice absorption are characterized. The result indicated that BaZr(BO₃)₂:Eu³⁺ phosphor has a strong absorption under the VUV excitation, and in the host-lattice excitation, the strong band at 130-160 nm could be due to the BO₃ atomic groups; the band at 160-180 nm is related to the excitation of Ba-O; 180-200 nm corresponds to the charge transfer (CT) transition of Zr-O. The band at 200-235 nm due to the CT band of Eu³⁺-O²⁻ and a bond valence study explained the observed weak CT band of Eu³⁺-O²⁻ in the excitation spectra of BaZr(BO₃)₂:Eu³⁺. The emission results show that Si⁴⁺ can sensitize luminescence in the host of BaZr(BO₃)₂:Eu but Ti⁴⁺ has no improvement effect on luminescence.
