SiO2包覆上转换发光材料Na(Y0.57Yb0.39Er0.04)F4的研究

近年来上转换发光材料在荧光标记中由于其独特的优势引起人们极大的关注.但在某些应用过程中出现分散性不好和易于沉降的缺点,影响了它作为荧光探针的应用.为了改善这种状况,制备了一种由二氧化硅包覆的上转换发光材料.并用红外光谱、扫描电镜、透射电镜等手段对材料进行了表征.结果表明二氧化硅已经包覆到上转换材料上,并且在实验条件下制备的产物粒径较小,颗粒为均匀的球形,二氧化硅包覆层厚度大约为10nm.实验还对包覆条件进行了探索,得到最佳实验条件为:试验选用正丁醇作溶剂,体积为100mL;用氨水作分散剂;催化剂水和正硅酸乙酯的量的比应是1:1,反应时间为40min.     

Visible photoluminescence of co-sputtered Ge–Si duplex nanocrystals

The photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of co-sputtered Ge–Si duplex nanocrystal films were examined under excitation by a 325-nm HeCd laser, combined with Raman and Fourier-transform infrared reflection spectra analysis. A broad visible PL spectrum from the as-deposited Ge–Si nanocrystal films was observed in the wavelength range 350–700 nm. Basically, the PL spectrum can be considered to consist of two distinct parts originating from different emission mechanisms: (i) the spectrum in the range 350–520 nm, consisting of characteristic double peaks at 410 and 440 nm with PL intensities decreasing after vacuum annealing, probably due to vacancy defects in Si nanocrystals; and (ii) the spectrum in the range 520–700 nm, consisting of a characteristic peak at 550 nm with a PL intensity not affected by vacuum annealing, probably due to Ge-related interfacial defects. No size dependence of PL peak energy expected from quantum confinement effects was observed in the wavelength range investigated. However, with an increase of crystal size, the PL peak intensity in the blue zone decreased. The PL intensity is found to be strongly affected by silicon concentration. A film heated in air has a different PL mechanism from the as-deposited and vacuum-annealed films. PACS 78.67.Bf; 81.05.Cy; 81.15.Cd

Preparation and luminescent properties of phosphor MGd2(MoO4)4: Eu (M=Ca, Sr and Ba)

Intense red emitting phosphors MGd₂(MoO₄)₄: Eu³⁺ (M=Ca, Sr and Ba) have been synthesized by the simple sol-gel technique. The formation processes and the phase impurity of phosphors are characterized by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and power X-ray diffraction (XRD). The narrower size distribution and the regular shape of the phosphor particles are also measured by Field emission scanning electronic microscopy (FE-SEM). Photo-luminescent properties of the phosphors are performed at room temperature. Their excitation spectra present strong absorption at 395 nm near-UV light and 465 nm blue light, which match well with commercial LED chips. The phosphors exhibit satisfactory and excellent red light dominated by 616 nm and their photoluminescence intensity is about 3-4 times stronger than that of phosphor YAG under the 465 nm excitation. In addition, the optimal concentrations of Eu³⁺ for phosphors MGd₂(MoO₄)₄ (M=Ca, Sr and Ba) have also been determined.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Tb:NaGd(WO4)2 novel green phosphors

Tb³⁺:NaGd(WO₄)₂ (Tb:NGW) phosphors with different Tb³⁺ concentrations have been synthesized by a mild hydrothermal process directly without further sintering treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra and decay curve were used to characterize the Tb:NGW phosphors. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of NGW with scheelite structure. SEM study showed that the obtained Tb:NGW phosphors appeared to be nearly spherical and their sizes ranged from 1 to 1.5 μm. The excitation spectra of these systems showed an intense broad band with maximum at 270 nm related to the O→W ligand-to-metal charge-transfer state. Photoluminescence spectra indicated the phosphors emitted strong green light centered at 545 nm under UV light excitation. Analysis of the photoluminescence spectra with different Tb³⁺ concentrations revealed that the optimum dopant concentration for Tb³⁺ is about 15 at% of Tb³⁺ ions in Tb:NGW phosphors.     

Strong violet luminescence from ZnO nanocrystals grown by the low-temperature chemical solution deposition

The luminescence properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystals grown from solution are reported. The ZnO nanocrystals were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, cathodo- and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The ZnO nanocrystals have the same regular cone form with the average sizes of 100-500 nm. Apart from the near-band-edge emission around 381 nm and a weak yellow-orange band around 560-580 nm at 300 K, the PL spectra of the as-prepared ZnO nanocrystals under high-power laser excitation also showed a strong defect-induced violet emission peak in the range of 400 nm. The violet band intensity exhibits superlinear excitation power dependence while the UV emission intensity is saturated at high excitation laser power. With temperature raising the violet peak redshifts and its intensity increases displaying unconventional negative thermal quenching behavior, whereas intensity of the UV and yellow-orange bands decreases. The origin of the observed emission bands is discussed.     

Synthesis and photoluminescence study of rare earth activated phosphor Na2La2B2O7

The photoluminescence properties in UV and N-UV excitable range for the phosphors of Na₂La₂B₂O₇: RE (RE=Eu, Tb, Ce, Sm, Gd) are investigated. The solution combustion synthesis technique was employed for the synthesis of the phosphors Na₂La₂B₂O₇: RE. The photoluminescence measurements of the phosphors were carried out on a HITACHI F7000 Fluorescence Spectrophotometer. The PL and PL excitation (PLE) spectra indicate that the main emission wavelength of Na₂La₂B₂O₇: Eu are 591 and 615 nm, Na₂La₂B₂O₇: Ce shows dominating emission peak at 387 nm and Na₂La₂B₂O₇: Tb displays green emission at 493, 544, 593 and 620 nm at 254 nm excitation, while Na₂La₂B₂O₇: Sm shows the main emission peak wavelengths 566 and 604 nm at 405 nm excitation and Na₂La₂B₂O₇: Gd shows dominating emission peak at 312 nm at 274 nm excitation. These phosphors may provide a new kind of luminescent materials under ultraviolet and near ultraviolet excitation for various applications.     

Photoluminescence properties of color-tunable SrMgAl10O17:Eu2+,Mn2+ phosphors for UV LEDs

Aluminate phosphors SrMgAl₁₀O₁₇ codoped with Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ ions were prepared by solid-state reaction. The phase structure and photoluminescence properties of the as-prepared phosphors were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra. Upon excitation of UV light, two broad emission bands centered at 470 and 515 nm were observed, and they were assigned to Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺ emissions, respectively. The emission color of the phosphors can be tuned from blue to cyan and finally to green by adjusting the concentration ratios of Eu²⁺ and Mn²⁺. Effective energy transfer occurs from Eu²⁺ to Mn²⁺ in the host due to the spectral overlap between the emission band of Eu²⁺ and the excitation bands of Mn²⁺. The energy transfer mechanism was demonstrated to be electric dipole–quadrupole interaction. The energy transfer efficiency and critical distance were also calculated. The phosphors exhibit strong absorption in near UV spectral region and therefore they are potentially useful as UV-convertible phosphors for white LEDs.

Blue emission in Ti-sapphire laser crystals

The time resolved emission spectrum of the blue band of Ti:sapphire laser crystal has been investigated as a function of temperature (range 10–290 K) and UV (266 nm) laser excitation intensity. Two blue emission bands, centred at 420 nm and 460 nm, have been detected. The 420 nm band is attributed to Ti⁴⁺ centres whereas the 460 nm one is proposed to be due to Ti³⁺ ions. The evolution of the emission spectrum vs the UV excitation intensity has shown that the concentration of Ti⁴⁺ centres is increased under UV irradiation at the cost of the centres responsible for the 460 nm band.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of nanoparticles LaSrAl3O7:Eu, Tb

Phosphors of nanoparticles LaSrAl₃O₇:RE³⁺(REEu, Tb) have been prepared by a sol–gel method. The structure and luminescent properties of LaSrAl₃O₇:Eu³⁺ and LaSrAl₃O₇:Tb³⁺ phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM), photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra were utilized. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, it is indicated that the phosphor LaSrAl₃O₇ forms without impurity phase at 900 °C. From atomic force microscopy (AFM) images, it is shown that the crystal size of the phosphores are about 60–80 nm. Upon excitation with UV irradiation, it is shown that there is a strong emission at around 617 nm corresponding to the forced electric dipole ⁵D₀–⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺, and at around 545 nm corresponding to the ⁵D₄–⁷F₅ transition of Tb³⁺. The dependence of photoluminescence intensity on Eu³⁺(or Tb³⁺) concentration and annealing temperature were also studied in detail.

Intensive green emission of ZnAl2O4:Mn2+ under vacuum ultraviolet and low-voltage cathode ray excitation

A series of Zn(1-x)Mn(x)Al(2)O(4) (x=0.001～0.08) phosphors were synthesized by a traditional solid-state reaction route. Their photoluminescence under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, energy E>50000 cm(-1), wavelength λ<200 nm) and cathodoluminescence under low-voltage electron beam excitation were evaluated. The luminescence decays were also measured. The intense green emission was observed with a peak at about 510 nm upon 172/147 nm excitation. The luminescence of optimum phosphor Zn(0.99)Mn(0.01)Al(2)O(4) (ZAM) was compared with that of commercial green phosphor Zn(2)SiO(4):Mn(2+) (ZSM). The maximum emission intensity of ZAM is larger than that of ZSM under 172/147 nm and low-voltage electron beam excitation. The values of chromaticity coordinates reveal the phosphors can evidently enlarge the tricolor gamut. The results show that the ZnAl(2)O(4):Mn(2+) phosphors may be considered as candidates for Hg-free lamps, plasma flat backlights, and field emission backlights for liquid crystal displays.
