白色荧光粉CaF2∶Yb3+/Eu3+/La3+的制备及其上转换发光特性

采用改进的两步高温固相熔融法制备了Yb^3+、Eu^3+、La^3+共掺杂CaF 2的上转换荧光粉。基于荧光猝灭原理,通过改变La^3+掺杂浓度来调节CaF 2∶Yb^3+/Eu^3+材料的发光性能,并在980 nm近红外光激发下,获得了该材料的白色上转换发光(UCL)。在该发光体系中,Yb^3+不仅起到了敏化Eu^3+的作用,同时,Yb^3+二聚体(Yb^3+-dimer)自身合作发出波长范围480~540 nm的绿色荧光。而白光三基色中的绿光正是来自Yb^3+二聚体的合作发光。Eu^3+则作为激活剂,同时发出红色和蓝色荧光。荧光寿命测试结果表明Yb^3+-dimer与Eu^3+之间存在有效的能量传递。值得注意的是,在980 nm激光激发下,1%La^3+掺杂的样品表现出最佳的红、绿、蓝三基色光比列,实现了材料的上转换白光发射,其色度坐标为(0.311,0.340)。

Luminescence of Eu3+ and Tb3+ Ions in the Structure Microporous Xerogel/Mesoporous Anodic Aluminum Oxide

We have investigated the luminescence, luminescence excitation, and transmittance of europium- and terbium-doped xerogel films formed on smooth, nanotextured surfaces and in the pores of anodic aluminum oxide. Some factors responsible for enhancement of luminescence in the structure lanthanide-doped xerogel/mesoporous anodic aluminum oxide have been analyzed. It is assumed that the optical excitation of lanthanide ions can be realized directly, through a xerogel matrix, and due to the multiple scattering of exciting radiation by the matrix of mesoporous anodic aluminum oxide.     

Luminescence centers in Sc2O3

Sc₂O₃ luminescence spectra are studied. The spectra are separated into elementary bands by the Alentsev–Fock method. It is established that the luminescence spectra consist of a number of overlapping bands with maxima at 3.5; 3.05; 2.65; 2.35, and 2.05 eV. The band at 3.5 eV is interpreted as emission of self-localized excitons, and the other bands, as defect-center recombination. L’vov State University, 50, Dragomanov St., L’vov, 290005, Ukraine.

Pb~(2+)掺杂导致的CaF_2中Yb~(3+)离子三聚体合作发光猝灭

利用978 nm近红外光激发样品Ca F2∶Pb2+,Yb3+,在室温下观察到二价Pb2+离子在383 nm附近的紫外上转换发光。该发射峰对应于Pb2+离子的3P0"1A1g(1S0)跃迁。瞬态光谱测量结果表明:在这个材料体系中,Pb2+离子的激发来自于Yb3+离子三聚体的合作敏化。但是随着Pb2+离子掺杂浓度的提高,Yb3+离子三聚体遭到结构性破坏,导致其合作发光减弱。本文首次利用Pb2+离子掺杂造成Yb3+离子三聚体的结构性破坏,从而引起合作荧光猝灭,并对在Ca F2基质中因其他二价离子的掺入而造成的Yb3+三聚体合作发光猝灭给予了合理的解释。     

980 nm LD 激发下Yb3+,Er3+:Y2O3纳米晶粉体的上转换发光

用共沉淀法合成出Yb^3＋,Er^3＋离子双掺杂的Y2O3粉体,X射线衍射结果表明所制备粉体为立方Y2O3结构。场发射扫描电镜照片显示其颗粒形状为球形,粒径为60～80nm;该粉体在波长为980nm的半导体激光器激发下发射出中心波长为562nm的绿色和660nm的红色上转换荧光,分别对应于Er^3＋离子的^4S3/2H11／2→^415/2跃迁和^4F6/2→^415/2跃迁。发光强度和激发功率关系的研究揭示其均为双光子过程,能量传递和激发态吸收是上转换发光的主要机制。由于其高效的上转换发光性能,这种材料有可能应用于荧光标记和红外探测方面。     

Eu2+在Ba2Ca(BO3)2中的发光特性及浓度猝灭

采用高温固相法,以CaCO₃ (A.R)、BaCO₃ (A.R)、H₃BO₃ (A.R)和Eu₂O₃ (99.99%)为原料制备了Ba₂Ca(BO₃)₂∶Eu²⁺绿色发光材料,测量了材料的晶体结构、发光特性及色坐标等。Ba₂Ca(BO₃)₂∶Eu²⁺材料的激发光谱覆盖200~500 nm的紫外-可见光区。在400 nm近紫外光激发下,材料的发射光谱为一主峰位于537 nm的非对称宽谱,对应于Eu²⁺的4f⁶5d¹→4f⁷特征跃迁。研究发现,随Eu²⁺掺杂浓度的增大,Ba₂Ca-(BO₃)₂∶Eu²⁺材料的发射强度呈现先增大、后减小的变化趋势,最大发射强度对应的Eu²⁺掺杂摩尔分数为2%。造成发射强度下降的原因为浓度猝灭,其机理为电偶极-电偶极相互作用。依据晶格常数及实验光谱数据,得出临界距离R_c分别为2.64 nm和2.11 nm。随Eu²⁺掺杂浓度的增大,Ba₂Ca(BO₃)₂∶Eu²⁺材料的色坐标变化微小。计算得到Ba₂Ca(BO₃)₂∶2%Eu²⁺的转换效率约为72%。     

Gd~(3+),Tm~(3+)和Yb~(3+)掺杂的Y_2O_3微晶中Gd~(3+)离子的紫外上转换发光及其增强的研究

采用均相沉淀法制备了Y(OH)3微米颗粒,经1 100℃焙烧后制备出具有上转换发光性质的Yb3+-Tm3+-Gd3+共掺的Y2O3微米晶体,讨论了Yb3+-Tm3+-Gd3+在Y2O3中能量传递过程及壳层对发光强度的影响。980 nm近红外光激发下的上转换光谱表明,在Yb3+-Tm3+-Gd3+共掺Y2O3体系中,核-壳结构大幅提高了Gd3+离子和Tm3+离子的上转换发光强度,尤其是样品在紫外发光部分的增强相比于可见和红外光部分更为明显。同时,通过研究Tm3+和Gd3+在不同波段的发光强度与泵浦功率的关系探讨了氧化物中上转换发光的机制。     

Tm3+掺杂SrAl2O4:Eu2+的光激励和热释光性能

通过高温固相法制备出Sr_{0.98-xAl2O4:0.02Eu²⁺,xTm³⁺(x=0,0.01,0.02,0.03,0.04,0.05)系列样品,并对其光激励和热释光性能进行了研究。在SrAl2O4:Eu²⁺原有陷阱能级结构的基础上,通过Tm³⁺的掺杂引入了更深的陷阱TB,并增加原有陷阱TA浓度,进而优化了材料的光存储容量及光激励特性。对比研究了系列样品的初始光激励发光强度和热释光强度随着Tm³⁺掺杂量的变化规律,证实陷阱TB为光激励发光提供了有效俘获中心。当Tm³⁺的掺杂摩尔分数x=0.03时,材料中的陷阱TB的浓度达到最高值,同时光激励发光强度最大。对比Tm³⁺共掺前后热释光图谱,通过Chen's半宽法计算出了引入陷阱TB的陷阱深度。实验结果证实材料中TB的浓度对其光激励发光性能起着决定性的作用。在980 nm激发下,由深陷阱TB释放出来的电子可以再次被浅陷阱TA俘获,这种浅陷阱TA的再俘获效应在光激励发光过程中表现为光激励余辉现象。}     

Eu2+掺杂CaSi2O2N2荧光粉发光性能

采用固相反应法合成了组成为Ca_1-xEu_xSi₂O₂N₂的Eu²⁺掺杂CaSi₂O₂N₂荧光粉.通过荧光光谱对样品的发光性能进行了研究,发现Eu²⁺掺杂CaSi₂O₂N₂荧光粉发射光谱为宽波段的单峰结构,主要包含绿光和黄光区,发射峰在556~568 nm.从发射光谱的宽带特征来看,CaSi₂O₂N₂:Eu²⁺的发射主要对应着Eu²⁺离子4f⁶5d→4f⁷跃迁.从激发光谱所覆盖的范围还可以看到,样品可以有效的被UV蓝-光激发,这意味着该类荧光粉在白光LED方面有可能得到广泛的应用.另外,样品的发光性能与激发离子的浓度有着很大关系.激发离子浓度增大时,发射光谱会发生明显红移.利用这一性质,可以通过改变Eu²⁺浓度来调节荧光粉的发光范围,从而满足不同场合的需要.同时,Eu²⁺浓度提高,样品发射光谱的强度也会随之增强,在x=0.06时发射强度达到最大值,之后继续增加Eu²⁺浓度,强度不仅没有增加反而降低,即出现浓度猝灭现象.     

Luminescence spectroscopy of Eu3+ and Mn2+ ions in MgGa2O4 spinel

Photoluminescence and excitation spectra of the spinel-type MgGa₂O₄ with 0.5 mol. % Mn²⁺ ions and Eu³⁺ content from 0 to 8 mol. % have been investigated in this work at room temperature. Polycrystalline samples were synthesized via high-temperature solid-state reaction method. Photoluminescence spectra of all samples exhibit host emission presented by a broad “blue” band peaking ∼430 nm, which consists of at least three elementary bands that correspond to different host defects. Excitation of the host luminescence showed the broad band with a maximum at 360 nm. Characteristic bands of d–d transitions of Mn²⁺ ions and f–f transitions of Eu³⁺ ions together with charge-transfer bands (CTB) of these ions were also found on the excitation spectra. Mn²⁺ and Eu³⁺ co-doped samples emit in green and red spectral regions. Mn²⁺ ions are responsible for the green emission band at 505 nm (⁴Т₁→⁶А₁ transition). The studies of photoluminescence spectra of activated samples with different Eu³⁺ ions content show characteristic f–f luminesecence of Eu³⁺ ions. The maximum of Eu³⁺ emission was found at 618 nm (⁵D₀→⁷F₂) and optimal concentration of activator ions was around 4 mol. %.     

White upconversion emission and color tunability of Y2O3:R(R=Yb3+, Er3+, Tm3+) nanophosphors

The Y₂O₃:R(R = Yb³⁺, Er³⁺, Tm³⁺) nanophosphors were synthesized by a solvothermal method and the temperature dependence of the white upconversion emission was studied using a 975 nm LD. The upconversion emission spectra in 1 mol% Er³⁺/5 mol% Yb³⁺/xTm³⁺ tri-doped Y₂O₃ nanophosphors were sintered at 1000 ^°C with x from 0 to 0.5 mol%. The blue emission intensity increases increasing Tm³⁺ concentration from 0 to 0.5 mol%, because the Tm³⁺ state can be easily reached due to the ²F_7/2 → ²F_5/2 transition of Yb³⁺ near 10,000 cm⁻¹. The Y₂O₃: Er³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ nanophosphors exhibit upconversion emission from white to green with increasing sintering temperature. The calculated CIE coordinates are located in the white region at a pump power of 700 mW at 1000 °C, and the color coordinates were very similar to the standard white light emission. Their upconversion process was described through energy level diagrams and results of upconversion emission spectra and pump power dependence.     

Er3+,Yb3+共掺杂SrTiO3超细粉末的可见上转换发光

钛酸锶(SrTiO₃)具有高介电常数、良好的绝缘性质、优良的物理化学稳定性和在可见光范围内的优异的透明度等优点,是一种重要的无机功能材料。近年来,Al³⁺,Ga³⁺等离子共掺杂的SrTiO₃:Pr³⁺做为一种优异的红色场发射显示(FED)荧光粉引起了人们的兴趣。另外,SrTiO₃具有相对较小的声子频率,因而它可以作为一种有利于上转换发光的基质材料。以NaCl为助熔剂制备了Er³⁺,Yb³⁺共掺杂的SrTiO₃超细粉末。在980nm激发下,样品发出很强的来自于Er³⁺离子的²H_11/2→⁴I_15/2,⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2(绿光)和⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2(红光)跃迁的上转换发光。Yb³⁺离子的共掺杂对Er³⁺离子的上转换发光起明显的增强作用。研究了上转换发光强度与稀土离子浓度以及激发光强度之间的依赖关系,表明在Er³⁺单掺杂和Er³⁺,Yb³⁺共掺杂的样品中,绿光和红光都是被双光子激发过程激发的。还对上转换发光的机理做了初步分析。

High brightness and precise adjustment of multicolor-tunable luminescence of Lu2GeO5:Tb3+, Eu3+ phosphors for white LEDs

High brightness and precise adjustment of luminescence colour of phosphors are two main targets in the research of phosphor-converted white LEDs. However, few feasible strategy can be employed to achieve the multicolor-tunable luminescence under the premise of maintaining high quantum efficiency. Here, we demonstrate a high-efficiency energy-transfer process from Tb³⁺ to Eu³⁺ ions with a higher luminescent quantum efficiency (64.5% and 53.4%, respectively), and green-red multicolor emission in Lu₂GeO₅ host via varying the doping content of Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions. Besides, Lu₂GeO₅:Tb³⁺, Lu₂GeO₅: Eu³⁺ and Lu₂GeO₅: Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺ all exhibit weak thermal quenching which ensures the stable use of white LED device in the high temperature environment. This paper provides a novel multicolor-tunable phosphor with high brightness, efficient energy transfer and weak thermal quenching, which presents a potential application for UV-converted white LEDs.     

纳米二氧化钛的制备及Eu3＋掺杂发光研究

以钛酸四丁酯为前驱物,采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了四种不同配方Eu3+掺杂的TiO2纳米晶.利用扫描电镜（SEM)、EDS能谱、光致发光光谱对样品的形貌、成份及性能进行了表征.研究了退火温度、稀土Eu3+离子掺杂摩尔分数、溶剂乙醇量等对发光性能的影响,并对其发光机理进行了探讨.结果表明:稀土Eu3+掺杂TiO2纳米晶样品,掺杂均匀、颗粒大约在30~80 nm|从EDS能谱分析可得Ti:O原子个数比并不是按化学计量TiO2满足1:2,这是因为在TiO2中形成的是Ti-O-Ti键,Eu3+离子很可能取代了Ti4+离子,同时又形成了氧空位,表明稀土Eu3+离子进入TiO2晶格中|样品的主发射峰在614 nm(5D0→7F2)处发光最强,且在593 nm(5D0→7F1)处出现了属于磁偶极跃迁的发射峰,制备Eu3+∶TiO2纳米晶的组分、退火温度、溶剂乙醇的量不同,发射光谱的强度也不同.     

Improving monochromaticity of upconversion luminescence by codoping Eu ions in Y2O3:Ho, Yb nanocrystals

Upconversion (UC) luminescence of Y₂O₃:Ho³⁺, Yb³⁺ nanocrystals codoped with different concentrations of Eu³⁺ ions were investigated to improve the monochromaticity of the UC emission. The results show that the monochromaticity, quantified by a parameter SR, increases as the concentration of Eu³⁺ ions becomes higher, which is due to the energy transfer between ⁵I₇ (Ho³⁺) and ⁷F₆ (Eu³⁺). The energy transfer accelerates the relaxation of Ho³⁺ ions from the ⁵I₇ to ⁵I₈ state and then quenches the red emission. The influence of the Eu³⁺ concentration on the pump power dependence of the red UC fluorescence in Y₂O₃:Ho³⁺, Yb³⁺, Eu³⁺ nanocrystals is verified using the steady-state rate equation theory.     

Probing of surface Eu ions present in ZnO:Eu nanoparticles by covering ZnO:Eu core with Y2O3 shell: Luminescence study

Eu³⁺ doped ZnO nanoparticles are known to have significance extent of surface Eu³⁺ ions due to a large difference in ionic radii. Effect of such Eu³⁺ ions on the luminescence properties of ZnO:Eu nanoparticles has been understood from the luminescence studies of ZnO:Eu nanoparticles covered with Y₂O₃ shell. Based on the asymmetric ratio of luminescence and extent of energy transfer, it is established that when ZnO:Eu nanoparticles are covered with Y₂O₃ shell, a part of Eu³⁺ ions present with ZnO:Eu core migrate to Y₂O₃ shell and occupy Y³⁺ lattice positions.
