Solid-solution red phosphors for white LEDs

Solid solutions of Eu³⁺-doped metal tungstate and molybdate phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reactions. The crystal structure of the solid-solution phosphors was determined to be tetragonal with a space group of I4₁/c. The red-emitting solid-solution phosphors exhibited a broad absorption band in the range 220-340 nm and sharp excitation peaks in the near UV to green region. The emission intensities of the solid-solution phosphors were enhanced due to the stiff lattices, as a result of the ordered distribution of cations and anions according to differences in ionic size. The increase in the energy transfer is discussed in terms of metal-ligand distances, ionization potential of Mo and the relatively large overlap between the excitation and emission spectra. Such solid-solution phosphors with a bright red emission intensity, relatively short decay time and appropriate color chromaticity have potential for use as red-emitting materials for white LEDs.     

Investigation of 515 nm green-light emission for full color emission LaAlO3 phosphor with varied valence Eu

Photoluminescence and lifetime decay properties of varied valence Eu were employed to investigate the luminescence mechanism of green-light emission positioned at ∼515 nm for full color emission LaAlO₃ phosphor co-doped with Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺. The enhanced ⁵D₂→⁷F₃ transition emission of Eu³⁺ was assigned for this green emission. Energy transfer between Eu²⁺ and ⁵D₂ level of Eu³⁺ was proposed, which results in the enhancement of ⁵D₂→⁷F₃ transition emission. In addition, energy transfer relations between host-Eu and charge transfer state (CTS)-Eu were also discussed associated with the PLE spectra and band schemes.     

An analysis of Y2O3:Eu thin films for thermographic phosphor applications

A comparative study of the luminescent properties of Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ phosphor powders and thin films sputtered from targets prepared from combustion synthesized powders is reported. Thin films of (Y_0.96Eu_0.04)₂O₃ were deposited on silicon substrates. Films deposited at 600 °C had both monoclinic and cubic phases of Y₂O₃, which developed to an oriented cubic phase after annealing. Films and powders showed a linear dependence of the intensity of the ⁵D₇→⁷F₂ (611 nm) transition with temperature in the range 26-660 °C with an average rate of change of 1.8×10⁻⁴ °C⁻¹. The rate of change appears to be dependent on the Eu³⁺ concentration. This work shows that these thin films can be used as thermographic phosphors for remote temperature measurements.     

Luminescence efficiencies of self- and Tm activated CaWO4 under vacuum ultraviolet radiation excitation

Luminescence efficiency of self-activated CaWO₄ under 147 nm vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation excitation is about 90% of that of BaMgAl₁₀O₁₇:Eu²⁺ (BAM), the commercial blue plasma display panel (PDP) phosphor. However, the color purity and the particle size of the former needs substantial modification before it can be considered for application in PDP. CaWO₄:Tm exhibits Tm³⁺ emission peaks in the blue region due to energy transfer from WO₄ to Tm³⁺ ions but the overall emission intensity under 147 nm excitation is reduced when compared to that of CaWO₄.     

A new synthetic pathway of Sr2CeO4 phosphor and its characterization

A blue-white emitting Sr₂CeO₄ phosphor was synthesized via a simple sol-gel poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)-complexing process using strontium nitrate and cerium nitrate as raw materials. The samples were characterized by TG/DTA, XRD, FTIR, SEM and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction study confirms the structure of the system to be orthorhombic. The emission spectra when excited at 267 nm peaks at ∼470 nm. The emission band is assigned to the energy transfer between the molecular orbital of the ligand and charge transfer state of the Ce⁴⁺ ion. The Commission International de l'Eclairage (CIE) co-ordinates for the Sr₂CeO₄ sample were also calculated.     

Preparation and luminescence properties of SrTiO3:Pr,Al phosphor from the glycolate method

Spherical SrTiO₃:Pr³⁺,Al³⁺ phosphor with high crystallinity and uniform particle size distribution was formed from the glycolate precursor. The glycolate precursor was obtained by heating the mixed solution of metallic nitrates and titanium oxychloride in ethylene glycol up to 200 °C. The thermal decomposition of the glycolate precursor proceeded through three major stages, i.e., (i) evolution of glycols (∼200 °C), (ii) decomposition of glycolate precursor, and (iii) decomposition of strontium carbonate and crystallization of SrTiO₃:Pr³⁺,Al³⁺ phosphor.SrTiO₃:Pr³⁺,Al³⁺ phosphor exhibited a strong red emission, peaking at about 617 nm. SrTiO₃:Pr³⁺,Al³⁺ phosphor obtained from the glycolate complex has higher luminescent properties than the conventional solid state reaction and the Pechini method in terms of photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL). High crystallinity, low residual carbon content and small grain size with uniform shape would enhance the luminescence intensity of phosphor by the glycolate method due to high surface area per unit volume and low organic content compared with the Pechini method. Also, Al³⁺ ion is more effective than Ga³⁺ ion to enhance PL intensity of SrTiO₃:Pr³⁺,Al³⁺ phosphor because of smaller Al³⁺ ion radius. Therefore, the glycolate method has been demonstrated to be a convenient and unique process for the production of muticomponent oxide with smaller grain size and higher crystallinity compared with the conventional mixed oxide reaction and the polymer precursor method.

An optical fiber sensor based on cladding photoluminescence for high power microwave plasma ultraviolet lamps used in water treatment

Low-pressure mercury lamps are commonly used for germicidal applications such as water and wastewater sterilisation. The germicidal effect is due to the emission of light at 254 nm, which leads to the destruction of most waterborne bacteria. The Microwave plasma ultraviolet lamp (MPUVL) is a new technology for generating a high intensity ultraviolet (UV) light. A Fluorescent optical fiber based sensor is presented which is used for monitoring the output of a high power microwave UV light source and its control. This sensor is a fiber which has had its cladding removed and been coated with a phosphor doped polymer. This paper was originally presented at the 2001 International Conference (2nd Joint OSJ-SPIE Conference) on Optical Engineering for Sensing and Nanotechnology, ICOSN 2001 which was held June 6–8, 2001 at the Pacifico-Yokohama Conference Center, Yokohama, Japan.
