在Er³⁺/Yb³⁺共掺TeO₂-WO₃-ZnO玻璃中引入Ce³⁺，研究了Ce³⁺对Er³⁺1.5μm发射性能及其上转换发光性能的影响。结果表明，随Ce³⁺浓度的增加Er³⁺1.5μm波段的荧光强度先增强后降低，优化的Ce³⁺掺杂浓度在2.07×10²⁰/cm³左右；1.5μm波段的荧光寿命则随Ce³⁺浓度的增加有轻微降低，从3.4ms降到3.0ms，但Ce³⁺浓度的增加对1.5μm波段的荧光半高宽基本无影响；Er³⁺/Ce³⁺间的交叉弛豫Er³⁺(⁴I_11/2)+Ce³⁺(²F_5/2)→Er³⁺(⁴I_13/2)+Ce³⁺(²F_7/2)使玻璃的上转换发光强度大大降低，但在过高的Ce³⁺浓度下，Er³⁺/Ce³⁺间的另一交叉弛豫Er³⁺(⁴I_13/2)+Ce³⁺(²F_5/2)→Er³⁺(⁴I_15/2)+Ce³⁺(²F_7/2)则使Er³⁺⁴I_13/2能级粒子数减少，导致1.5μm波段荧光强度和荧光寿命降低. 关键词： 碲钨酸盐玻璃 发光性能 3+离子')" href="#">Er³⁺离子 3+离子')" href="#">Ce³⁺离子 交叉弛豫     

Cerium and terbium luminescence in LaMgAl11O19

Under 254 nm excitation LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉ : Ce³⁺ shows emission peaking between 340 and 360 nm with a quantum efficiency up to 65%, which is almost independent of the Ce³⁺ concentration. Energy transfer between the Ce³⁺ ions is not efficient. In CeMgAl₁₁O₁₉ : Tb³⁺ efficient energy transfer occurs from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺, resulting in a green emission with a quantum efficiency up to 65%. The Ce³⁺ - Tb³⁺ energy transfer is ascribed to electric dipole-quadrupole interaction.     

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.     

Low-temperature high-resolution VUV spectroscopy of Ce doped LiYF4, LiLuF4 and LuF3 crystals

For LiYF₄:Ce³⁺, LiLuF₄:Ce³⁺ and LuF₃:Ce³⁺ crystals UV/visible emission and time-resolved VUV/UV excitation spectra were recorded at liquid helium temperature with spectral resolution of 0.1 nm for excitation spectra and better than 0.3 nm for emission spectra. Well resolved fine structures due to zero-phonon lines were clearly observed in both excitation and emission spectra for LiYF₄:Ce³⁺ and LiLuF₄:Ce³⁺. For LuF₃:Ce³⁺ crystal no fine structure was detected in the spectra even at the highest spectral resolution. Under the host excitation, the fine structure for high-energy emission band of Ce³⁺ (5d-²F_5/2) in LiLuF₄:Ce³⁺ becomes well pronounced because of weaker reabsorption effect, as compared to Ce³⁺ 4f-5d absorption, due to small penetration depth for exciting radiation. As a result the crystal-field splitting for ²F_7/2 and ²F_5/2 levels of Ce³⁺ in LiLuF₄ crystal was measured. First observation of zero-phonon lines at ∼81,550 and ∼82,900 cm⁻¹ as well as vibronic side bands due to interconfigurational 4f¹⁴-4f¹³5d transitions in Lu³⁺ is reported for excitation spectrum of LiLuF₄:Ce³⁺.     

Luminescence enhancement by energy transfer from Ce ions in Ba1.6Ca0.4P2O7:Ce:Tb phosphor

The optical properties of Ba_1.6Ca_0.4P₂O₇ doped with Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ are investigated. Under excitation at 280 nm the emission spectrum of Ba_1.6Ca_0.4P₂O₇:Ce³⁺ consists of a peak at 370 nm and a shoulder at the longer wavelength side. The emission spectra of Ba_1.6Ca_0.4P₂O₇:Tb³⁺ shows the well-known emission lines due to ⁵D₄-⁷F_J transitions of Tb³⁺. The green emissions of Tb³⁺ ions are enhanced upon UV excitation through energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ ions. The efficiency of such an energy transfer is estimated based on spectroscopic data. The dependence of photoluminescence (PL) intensities of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ emissions on Ce³⁺ or Tb³⁺ concentrations in the systems (Ba_1.6Ca_0.4P₂O₇:0.04Ce³⁺,xTb³⁺ and Ba_1.6Ca_0.4P₂O₇:xCe³⁺,0.04Tb³⁺) and the temperature dependence of PL emission spectra of Ba_1.6Ca_0.4P₂O₇:0.06Ce³⁺,0.04Tb³⁺ is also investigated.     

Double emitting phosphor NaSr4(BO3)3:Ce, Tb for near-UV light-emitting diodes

Blue and green double emitting phosphor, Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-doped NaSr₄(BO₃)₃, was synthesized in a weak reducing atmosphere by a conventional high temperature solid-state reaction technique. For comparison, Ce³⁺ or Tb³⁺ singly doped NaSr₄(BO₃)₃ was also prepared. The emission and excitation spectra of all samples have been investigated. NaSr₄(BO₃)₃:Tb³⁺ excitation includes a strong absorption at about 240 nm and some weak sharp lines in near-ultraviolet (n-UV) spectral region. The excitation of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-doped NaSr₄(BO₃)₃ shows a strong broad band absorption in the n-UV region from the contribution of Ce³⁺, which makes it suitable for excitation by a n-UV LED chip. The emission of NaSr₄(BO₃)₃:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ consists of a blue emission band from Ce³⁺ and a green emission from Tb³⁺ under the excitation of n-UV light. Energy transfer between Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ is also discussed, and the relative intensity of blue emission and green emission could be tuned by adjusting the concentration of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺. The phosphor NaSr₄(BO₃)₃:Ce³⁺,Tb³⁺ could be considered as a double emission phosphor for n-UV excited white light-emitting diodes.

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.     

Luminescent properties of SrAl2B2O7: Ce, Tb

By using metal nitrates as starting materials, SrAl₂B₂O₇: Tb³⁺ and SrAl₂B₂O₇: Ce³⁺, Tb³⁺ powder phosphors were prepared by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence excitation and emission, as well as kinetic decays were employed to characterize the resulting samples. The results show that energy transfers from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺ ions. The emission intensity of Tb³⁺ ions in SrAl₂B₂O₇ could be greatly intensified when Ce³⁺ ions are doped into SrAl₂B₂O₇: Tb³⁺. The decay times of SrAl₂B₂O₇: Tb³⁺ were prolonged when Ce³⁺ ions were doped. The doping of Ce³⁺ ions not only improved the luminescent intensity, but also made the materials gets stable luminescent properties.     

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties of (Y, Lu)3Al5O12:Ce phosphors for white LEDs applications

The effects of the excitation wavelength, Ce³⁺ concentration and chemical substitution on the thermal quenching of Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (YAG:Ce³⁺) phosphors were investigated over a temperature range from 30 to 250 °C. The quenching behavior exhibits a complex dependence on the excitation wavelength and Ce³⁺ concentration, which can be attributed to temperature-dependent absorption strength of the different f-d absorption bands and thermally activated concentration quenching with or without energy migrations between Ce³⁺ ions, respectively. With increasing Lu³⁺content the luminescence of (Y, Lu)₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ phosphors shows a pronounced blueshift, and simultaneously the temperature quenching is obviously improved due to a decrease in Stokes shift.     

Energy transfer in Y3Al5O12:Ce, Pr and CaMoO4:Sm, Eu phosphors

Non-radiative energy transfers (ET) from Ce³⁺ to Pr³⁺ in Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺, Pr³⁺ and from Sm³⁺ to Eu³⁺ in CaMoO₄:Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺ are studied based on photoluminescence spectroscopy and fluorescence decay patterns. The result indicates an electric dipole-dipole interaction that governs ET in the LED phosphors. For Ce³⁺ concentration of 0.01 in YAG:Ce³⁺, Pr³⁺, the rate constant and critical distance are evaluated to be 4.5×10⁻³⁶ cm⁶ s⁻¹ and 0.81 nm, respectively. An increase in the red emission line of Pr³⁺ relative to the yellow emission band of Ce³⁺, on increasing Ce³⁺ concentration is observed. This behavior is attributed to the increase of spectral overlap integrals between Ce³⁺ emission and Pr³⁺ excitation due to the fact that the yellow band shifts to the red spectral side with increasing Ce³⁺ concentration. In CaMoO₄:Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, Sm³⁺-Eu³⁺ transfer occurs from ⁴G_5/2 of Sm³⁺ to ⁵D₀ of Eu³⁺. The rate constant of 8.5×10⁻⁴⁰ cm⁶ s⁻¹ and the critical transfer distance of 0.89 nm are evaluated.     

Decay of the Ce3+ luminescence of LaMgAl11O19 : Ce3+ and of CeMgAl11O19 activated with Tb3+ or Eu3+

Decay measurements have been performed on the Ce³⁺ luminescence of LaMgAl₁₁O₁₉ : Ce³⁺ and of CeMgAl₁₁O₁₉ activated with Tb³⁺. For all samples, the decay was found to be nearly exponential over at least two decades, and the decay time constant was practically the same, being ≈20 ns. From these results and from quantum efficiency data of the Ce³⁺ luminescence, conclusions are drawn about the various energy transfers and quenching interactions occurring in these compounds.     

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.     

Luminescence properties of LiPrxCe1−xP4O12

LiPr_1−xCe_xP₄O₁₂ (x=0, 0.002, 0.02; 0.1) powder samples were prepared using the melt solution technique. Luminescent parameters of LiPr_1−xCe_xP₄O₁₂ phosphors have been investigated under ultraviolet-vacuum ultraviolet (3-12 eV) synchrotron radiation and X-rays excitation at room and near liquid He temperatures. Excitation luminescence spectra of Ce³⁺ emission, luminescent spectra and decay curves from the lower excited state levels of the 4f¹5d¹ and 5d¹ electronic configuration of the Pr³⁺ and Ce³⁺, respectively, clearly indicate energy transfer from Pr³⁺ to Ce³⁺. Energy migration proceeds via the Pr-sublattice followed by nonradiation transfer from Pr³⁺ to Ce³⁺ ions.     

Synthesis and characterization of monodisperse spherical core-shell structured SiO2@Y3Al5O12:Ce3+/Tb3+ phosphors for field emission displays

Nanocrystalline Y₃Al₅O₁₂: Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ (average crystalline size 30 nm) phosphor layers were coated on non-aggregated, monodisperse and spherical SiO₂ particles by the sol-gel method, resulting in the formation of core-shell structured SiO₂@Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ particles. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence spectra, as well as lifetimes were utilized to characterize the core-shell structured SiO₂@Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ phosphor particles. The obtained core-shell structured phosphors consist of well-dispersed submicron spherical particles with a narrow size distribution. The thickness of the Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ shells on the SiO₂ cores (average size about 500 nm, crystalline size about 30 nm) could be easily tailored by varying the number of deposition cycles (100 nm for four deposition cycles). Under the excitation of ultraviolet and low-voltage electron beams (1–3 kV), the core-shell SiO₂@Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ particles show strong yellow-green and green emission corresponding to the 5d–4f emission of Ce³⁺ and ⁵D₄–⁷F _J (J = 6, 5, 4, 3) emission of Tb³⁺, respectively. These phosphors may have potential application in field emission displays.

Energy transfer from Ce3+toNd3+ in pentaphosphate crystals

An excitation band at 300 nm corresponding to Ce³⁺absorption is observed in pentaphosphate crystals containing Ce³⁺ and Nd³⁺ when the Nd³⁺ luminescence is monitored. The decay of excitation of Ce³⁺ in crystals of pure cerium pentaphosphate, CeP₅O₁₄, follows single exponential kinetics with a 22 ± 2 nsec lifetime. In Ce_0.5Nd_0.5P₅O₁₄ crystals, the Ce³⁺ lifetime is shortened to 3.8 ± 0.4 nsec as a result of efficient nonradiative energy transfer to the Nd³⁺ ions.

The spectroscopic properties of wide-band fluoride Na_0.4Lu_0.6F_2.2 crystals activated by Ce³⁺ were investigated. The absorption edge for the matrix was found to be at about 9.5 eV. In the 4- to 8-eV region of the absorption spectrum of Na_0.4Lu_0.6F_2.2: Ce³⁺, all 4f-5d transitions of the Ce³⁺ ion are observed. In Na_0.4Lu_0.6F_2.2: Ce³⁺ crystals, ultraviolet/visible emission, reflection and time-resolved vacuum ultraviolet/ultraviolet excitation spectra were recorded at liquid helium and room temperatures.     

Dyand Mn emission in KMgSO4Cl phosphor

In the present paper, KMgSO₄Cl:Ce³⁺, KMgSO₄Cl:Ce³⁺,Dy³⁺, and KMgSO₄Cl:Ce³⁺,Mn²⁺, new halosulphate phosphors were synthesized by wet chemical method. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) characterization of phosphors have been reported in this paper. The effects of Dy³⁺ co-doping on the PL characteristics of KMgSO₄Cl:Ce phosphor were studied. Energy transfer from Ce³⁺→Dy³⁺and Ce³⁺→Mn²⁺ results in increase in PL peak intensity suggesting that Ce³⁺ plays an important role in PL emission in the present matrix. The PL emission spectra have two peaks (482 and 571 nm) and a single peak (564 nm), which could be attributed to the Ce³⁺→Dy³⁺and Ce³⁺→Mn²⁺ emissions, respectively.
