Eu3+掺杂的Sr2CeO4发光材料的光致发光研究

利用高温固相反应法制备了Eu³⁺掺杂的Sr₂CeO₄样品,并对其吸附水前后的光谱特性进行了研究.结果发现,对于刚制备的Sr_2-xEu_xCeO_4+x/2样品, 在Ce⁴⁺—O^2-的电荷迁移激发中,只有强激发带(～35700cm^-1)与Eu³⁺离子间存在能量传递,而弱激发带 (～29400cm^-1)只是引起Ce⁴⁺—O^2-的电荷迁移发射;在Sr_2-xEu_xCeO_4+x/2样品吸附水后,Eu³⁺的线状吸收跃迁强度显著增加, Ce⁴⁺—O^2-两个激发带均向Eu³⁺离子传递能量. Ce⁴⁺—O^2-强激发带通过交换作用向Eu³⁺离子传递能量,而弱激发带与Eu³⁺离子间的能量传递机理是非辐射多极子近场力的相互作用. 关键词： 2-xEu_xCeO_4+x/2')" href="#">Sr_2-xEu_xCeO_4+x/2 发光性质 能量传递 吸附水     

Eu valency and recoil-free fraction in EuCo2Si2-x Ge x

The valency of Eu in EuCo₂Si_2-x Ge _x withx=0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2 was determined by¹⁵¹Eu-Mössbauer, Eu-L _III X-ray absorption as well as magnetization studies in the temperature range from 4.1 to 650 K and at external pressures up to 66 kbar. Eu in EuCo₂Si₂ is found to be predominantly trivalent, while in EuCo₂Ge₂ it is divalent. In EuCo₂Si_2-x Ge _x (0x2), two separate narrow Mössbauer absorption lines are observed, corresponding to stable divalent and trivalent Eu ions. In EuCo₂Si_1.5Ge_0.5, the relative spectral areas of the Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ Mössbauer lines are found to be strongly temperature and pressure dependent. A decrease in temperature or an application of pressure leads to small changes in the positions of the two absorption lines and to a pronounced increase in the relative spectral area of the Eu²⁺ component. On the other hand, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) measurements at theL _III threshold of Eu reveal no change in the relative intensity of the Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ subspectra as a function of temperature. From these observations it is concluded that the recoil-free fractions of the Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ Mössbauer resonances in EuCo₂Si_1.5Ge_0.5 depend in a substantially different way on temperature. With the Debye approximation, Debye temperatures of _D(Eu²⁺)=175 K and _D(Eu³⁺)=250 K are derived. These results clearly show that relative abundances of Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions may only be derived from Mössbauer linie intensities, if appropriate corrections for differences in recoil-free fraction are applied; this applies even to mixed-valent systems, where Eu ions with different valencies occupy crystallographically equivalent sites.     

A Mössbauer study of La1−xEuxB6 compounds synthesized at high pressure and temperature

A series of hexaborides La_1?xEu_xB₆ (x=0.0–1.0) were synthesized under a pressure of 3.5 GPa and at a temperature of 1600^○C using La₂O₃, Eu₂O₃ and amorphous boron as the starting materials. The products were characterized by X‐ray Diffraction (XRD) and Mössbauer spectroscopy. XRD data analysis shows that all samples crystallize in a cubic CsCl‐type structure, and the cell volume increases with x. Room temperature ¹⁵¹Eu Mössbauer measurements reveal that Eu ions in all samples are in the divalent state, except for the x=1.0 sample where a small amount of Eu³⁺ ions was detected. The quadrupole splitting of the Eu²⁺ ions is positive. Eu ions were reduced from trivalent to divalent during the high‐pressure and ‐temperature processes. The isomer shifts of the Eu²⁺ ions are all smaller than ?12.5 mm/s, suggesting that there is no valence fluctuation in the samples. The hexaborides doped by divalent Eu are not metallic.     

Luminescence characteristics of Eu3+ activated borate phosphor for white light emitting diode

In this paper, the Sr₃Y₂ (BO₃)₄:Eu³⁺ phosphor was synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction method and the luminescence characteristics were investigated. The emission spectrum exhibits one strong red emission at 613nm corresponding to the electric dipole ⁵D₀--⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺ under 365nm excitation, this is because Eu³⁺ substituted for Y³⁺ occupied the non-centrosymmetric position in the crystal structure of Sr₃Y₂ (BO₃)₄. The excitation spectrum indicates that the phosphor can be effectively excited by ultraviolet (254nm, 365nm and 400nm) and blue (470nm) light. The effect of Eu³⁺ concentration on the red emission of Sr₃Y₂ (BO₃)₄:Eu³⁺ was measured, the result shows that the emission intensities increase with increasing Eu³⁺ concentration, then decrease. The Commission Internationale del'Eclairage chromaticity (x, y) of Sr₃Y₂(BO₃)₄:Eu³⁺ phosphor is (0.640,0.355) at 15 mol% Eu³⁺.     

Effects of x and R3+ on the luminescent properties of Eu3+ in nanocrystalline YVxP1-xO4:Eu3+ and RVO4:Eu3+ thin-film phosphors

Using inorganic oxides and salts instead of alkoxides as the main starting materials, we prepared nanocrystalline YV_xP_1-xO₄:Eu³⁺ and RVO₄:Eu³⁺ (0x1; R=Y,La,Gd) thin-film phosphors by the Pechini sol–gel dip-coating process. The resulting films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra as well as luminescence decay. The results of XRD showed that a solid solution formed in the YV_xP_1-xO₄:Eu³⁺ film series from x=0 to x=1 with zircon structure. The same structure also held for the GdVO₄:Eu³⁺ film, but the LaVO₄:Eu³⁺ film crystallized with a different structure, monazite. AFM and SEM studies revealed that the phosphor films consisted of spherical particles ranging from 90 to 400 nm depending on the film compositions. With the increase of x values in YV_xP_1-xO₄:Eu³⁺ films, the integrated emission intensity and the red (⁵D₀–⁷F₂)-to-orange (⁵D₀–⁷F₁) intensity ratio of Eu³⁺ increase due to the increased energy-transfer probability from VO₄^3- to Eu³⁺ and the increased polarizability of the surrounding oxygen ions, respectively. The x values also have an influence on the decay behavior of Eu³⁺. The YVO₄:Eu³⁺ and GdVO₄:Eu³⁺ films showed very similar luminescence properties due to their same crystal structures. However, the LaVO₄:Eu³⁺ film exhibited a much different emission property from those of the YVO₄:Eu³⁺ and GdVO₄:Eu³⁺ films due to the structural effects.

Synthesis, structure and optical properties of Eu/TiO2 nanocrystals at room temperature

The nanocrystal samples of titanium dioxide doped with europium ion (Eu³⁺/TiO₂ nanocrystal) are synthesized by the sol-gel method with hydrothermal treatment. The Eu³⁺ contents (molar ratio) in the samples are 0, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%. The X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy data and scanning electron microscope image show that crystallite size is reduced by the doping of Eu³⁺ into TiO₂. Comparing the Raman spectra of TiO₂ with Eu³⁺/TiO₂ (molar ratio Eu³⁺/TiO₂=1%, 2% and 4%) nanocrystals at different annealing temperatures indicates that the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation temperatures of Eu³⁺/TiO₂ nanocrystals are higher than that of TiO₂. This is due to the formation of Eu-O-Ti bonds on the surface of the TiO₂ crystallite, as characterized by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photoluminescence spectra of TiO₂ in Eu³⁺/TiO₂ nanocrystals are interpreted by the surface self-trapped and defect-trapped exciton relaxation. The photoluminescence of Eu³⁺ in Eu³⁺/TiO₂ nanocrystals has the strongest emission intensity at 2% of Eu³⁺ concentration.     

Influence of phase and morphology on thermal conductivity of alumina particle/silicone rubber composites

Eu²⁺- and Eu³⁺-Zn₂GeO₄ were prepared by the high temperature solid-state reaction method. The phase purity and crystallinity of Zn₂GeO₄:Eu samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The excitation spectra, the emission spectra and the luminescence decay curves of the Eu²⁺- and Eu³⁺-Zn₂GeO₄ were investigated. Zn₂GeO₄:Eu²⁺ gives a bluish-green luminescence with one emission band located at 467 nm, and Zn₂GeO₄:Eu³⁺ presents an reddish-orange color due to the transition (⁵D₀→⁷F_J, J = 1 and 2) of the Eu³⁺ ions. The luminescence decay curves of Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ provide complementary evidence to the mixed valence of europium (Eu²⁺, Eu³⁺) in Zn₂GeO₄ host. These indicate that the mixed valence of europium (Eu²⁺, Eu³⁺) coexists in Zn₂GeO₄ host prepared in an oxidizing atmosphere. The abnormal reduction phenomenon of Eu³⁺→Eu²⁺ in Zn₂GeO₄ host prepared in an oxidizing atmosphere was reported and discussed on the basis of the charge compensation model.     

Stability of divalent/trivalent oxidation state of europium in some Sr-based inorganic compounds

This work investigates the stability of Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ in some Sr-based inorganic compounds. Generally reducing condition is adopted in order to obtain Eu²⁺, however, the Eu doped SrAl₂O₄/SrLaAlO₄ case indicates that for some compounds Eu³⁺ is stabilized even in reducing atmosphere. Bond valence method is applied to explain this phenomenon and it reveals that crystal structure also determines the valence state of europium cations along with reducing/oxidizing condition. An analysis of other Eu doped Sr-based materials is performed which shows the relationship between Eu²⁺/Eu³⁺ stability and the Global Instability Index (GII). This research provides a guideline for synthesizing specific novel Eu²⁺/Eu³⁺ phosphors.     

Photoluminescence and afterglow behavior of Eu, Dy and Eu, Dy in Sr3Al2O6 matrix

This paper reports the photoluminescence and afterglow behavior of Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ in Sr₃Al₂O₆ matrix co-doped with Dy³⁺. The samples containing Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ were prepared via solid-state reaction. X-ray diffraction (XRD), photo luminescent spectroscope (PLS) and thermal luminescent spectroscope (TLS) were employed to characterize the phosphors. The comparison between the emission spectra revealed that Sr₃Al₂O₆ phosphors doped with Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ and Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺ showed different photoluminescence. The phosphor doped with Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺ showed an intrinsic f-f transition generated from Eu³⁺, with two significant emissions at 591 and 610 nm. However, the phosphor doped with Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ revealed a broad d-f emission centering around 512 nm. After the UV source was turned off, Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ activated Sr₃Al₂O₆ phosphor showed excellent afterglow while Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺ activated phosphor almost showed no afterglow. Thermal simulated luminescence study indicated that the persistent afterglow of Sr₃Al₂O₆: Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ phosphor was generated by suitable electron traps formed by the co-doped rare-earth ions (Dy³⁺) within the host.

Investigation on Eu doped Sr2MgSi2O7 red-emitting phosphors for white-light-emitting diodes

In this work, we report the high temperature solid-state synthesis of red phosphors Sr₂MgSi₂O₇: Eu³⁺ with various Eu³⁺ concentrations. Their luminescent properties at room temperature are investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the red phosphors powder conforms to the tetragonal Sr₂MgSi₂O₇. Impurity structure appears when more than 20% Eu³⁺ is doped. The samples show a strong emission line at 615 nm and the intensity increases with the increase of Eu³⁺ concentration until concentration quenching occurs. Charge compensation assists in the reduction of the impurity structure and vacancies; hence the luminescent intensity is enhanced. The decay measurement indicates that the lifetime of Eu³⁺ emission is about 2-3 ms. Some of the Eu³⁺ can be reduced to Eu²⁺; this is also discussed.     

Luminescence and time-resolved spectroscopy properties of (Gd1−xEux)(BO2)3 multicrystals

(Gd_1?xEu_x)(BO₂)₃ (0≤x≤1) phosphors are synthesized by traditional high temperature solid state reaction. The photoluminescence (PL) properties of Gd(BO₂)₃ and Gd(BO₂)₃ activated with Eu³⁺ are investigated. The PL spectra exhibit the typical characteristic emission and excitation of Gd³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions, and support the energy transfer taking place from Gd³⁺ to Eu³⁺ ions. The relationship between Eu³⁺ doping concentration and emission intensity is also studied. Even if all of the Gd³⁺ ions are substituted by Eu³⁺ ions, the concentration quenching between Eu³⁺ happens. However, the quenching is not complete. The luminescence decay curves are measured, and the lifetimes become short with the Eu³⁺ content increasing. The decreasing Gd³⁺ lifetimes also indicates that there exists efficient energy transfer between Gd³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions.     

Luminescence characteristics of energy transfer between Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> and Eu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> in NaMgPO<Subscript>4</Subscript> phosphor

Powder samples of NaMgPO₄ doped with Eu²⁺ and Ce³⁺ were prepared and their photoluminescence spectra were systemically studied. Energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺ in NaMgPO₄ phosphor was observed by investigating the optical properties from photoluminescence spectra in Eu²⁺ or Ce³⁺ singly doped and Eu²⁺–Ce³⁺ codoped sodium magnesium orthophosphates, NaMgPO₄. The enhancement of UV excitation is attributed to energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺, and Ce³⁺ plays a role as a sensitizer. Ce³⁺–Eu²⁺ codoped NaMgPO₄ phosphors in which Eu²⁺ can be efficiently excited by 390 nm are potential candidates for phosphor-converted LEDs.     

Orange emission enhancement by energy transfer in Sr3Al2O5Cl2:Ce, Eu phosphor for solid-state lighting

Orange-emissive Ce³⁺/Eu²⁺ co-doped Sr₃Al₂O₅Cl₂ phosphors were synthesized by a solid-state reaction. The large overlap between the emission spectrum of blue Sr₃Al₂O₅Cl₂:Ce³⁺ and the excitation spectrum of orange Sr₃Al₂O₅Cl₂:Eu²⁺, and the shortening trend in lifetime of Ce³⁺ donors with increasing Eu²⁺ concentration in Sr₃Al₂O₅Cl₂:Ce³⁺, Eu²⁺ provide the strong evidence of energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺ ions. It supports that the orange emission intensity of the optimal co-doped phosphor is 1.5 times stronger than that of single Eu²⁺-doped one. The Sr₃Al₂O₅Cl₂:Ce³⁺, Eu²⁺ phosphor is a promising orange-emitting phosphor for warm-white-light-emitting diode because of its effective excitation in the near ultraviolet range.     

A potential red phosphor LiGd(MoO4)2:Eu for light-emitting diode application

Eu³⁺-doped LiGd(MoO₄)₂ red phosphor was synthesized by solid-state reaction, and its photoluminescent properties were measured. The effect of Eu³⁺ doping concentration on PL intensity was investigated, and the optimum concentration of Eu³⁺ doped in LiGd(MoO₄)₂ was found to be 30 mol%. Compared with Y₂O₂S:0.05Eu³⁺, Na_0.5Gd_0.5MoO₄:Eu³⁺ and KGd(MoO₄)₂:Eu³⁺, the LiGd(MoO₄)₂:Eu³⁺ phosphor showed a stronger excitation band around 395 nm and a higher intensity red emission of Eu³⁺ under 395 nm light excitation. For the first time, intensive red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated by combining phosphor and a 395 nm InGaN chip, confirming that the LiGd(MoO₄)₂:Eu³⁺ phosphor is a good candidate for LED applications.     

Photoluminescence properties of Y0.75-xGdxAl0.10BO3:Eu3+0.10, 0.05R3+ (R= Sc, Bi) (0.00≤x≤0.45)

Y$_{0.75 - x}$Gd_xAl_0.10BO$₃:Eu$^{3+}_0.10, 0.05R³⁺ ($R$=Sc, Bi) ($0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.45$) powder samples are prepared by solid-state reaction and their luminescence properties are investigated. With the replacement of Y³⁺$ ions by Sc³⁺$ (or Bi³⁺)$ and Gd³⁺$ ions in (Y,Al)BO$₃:Eu, the intensities of emission at 254 and 147~nm are remarkably improved, because Sc³⁺$ ions can absorb UV light and transfer the energy to Eu³⁺$ ions efficiently. Moreover, Gd³⁺$ and Bi$^{3 + }$ ions act as an intermediate ``bridge' between the sensitizer and the activator (Eu³⁺)$ in energy transfer to produce light in the (Y, Gd)BO$₃:Bi³⁺$, Eu³⁺$ system more effectively. After doping an appropriate concentration of Gd³⁺$ into Y$_{0.50}$Gd$_{0.25}$Al_0.10BO$₃:Eu³⁺_{0.01}$, Bi$^{3+}_{0.05}$, the emission intensity reaches its maximum, which is nearly 110{\%} compared with the red commercial phosphor (Y,Gd)BO$₃:Eu and better chromaticity coordinates (0.650, 0.350) are obtained.     

Energy transfer between Ce3+ and Eu2+ in doped KSrPO4

Powder samples of KSrPO₄ doped with Eu²⁺ and Ce³⁺ were prepared by combustion-assisted synthesis. Their structures and photoluminescence spectra were systemically studied. Energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺ was observed by investigating the optical properties from photoluminescence spectra in Eu²⁺ single doped and Ce³⁺–Eu²⁺ co-doped KSrPO₄. The enhancement of UV excitation is attributed to energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Eu²⁺, and Ce³⁺ plays a role as a sensitizer. Ce³⁺–Eu²⁺ co-doped KrSrPO₄ powders can possibly be applied as blue phosphors in the fields of lighting and display.     

Luminescence in BaSO4:Eu

Abstract

Photoluminescence and thermoluminescence in BaSO₄:Eu is reported. In earlier works, divalent Eu has been studied in BaSO₄. In the present work Eu was incorporated as in predominantly Eu³⁺ or Eu²⁺ form. It is shown that RE³⁺ ? RE²⁺ conversion or RE²⁺ ? RE⁺ conversion is not an integral part of gamma induced TL. Eu³⁺ ? Eu²⁺ conversion, on the other hand, may be important in UV induced TL. Low UV efficiency of this material is attributed to poor Eu³⁺ ? Eu²⁺ conversion. This is in quite contrast to the analogus material CaSO₄: Eu.     

Energy transfer between Eu3+ ions in a lattice with two different crystallographic sites: Y2O3:Eu3+, Gd2O3:Eu3+ and Eu2O3

The Eu³⁺ ion occupies two different crystallographic sites in (Y_1−xEu_x)₂O₃ and (Gd_1−xEu_x)₂O₃, with site symmetry S₆ and C₂. Energy transfer over more than 7 Å occurs from Eu³⁺ (S₆) ions to Eu³⁺ (C₂) ions. This is shown to be a direct one-phonon assisted process, in combination with a one-site resonant two-phonon assisted process at higher temperatures. For x = 1 there is energy migration over the Eu³⁺ (C₂) sublattice to quenching impurities. The presence of cooperative absorption points to superexchange interaction between the Eu³⁺ ions.
