ZnAl2O4：Mn薄膜的阴极射线发光特性的研究

采用喷雾热解法在铝矽酸盐陶瓷基底上合成了过渡族金属离子锰(Mn2 )掺杂的铝酸锌(ZnAl2O4)发光膜,研究了ZnAl2O4∶Mn膜在中至低电子束电压(<5 kV)激发下的阴极射线发光特性。生成的ZnAl2O4∶Mn膜在退火温度高于550℃时发出峰值位于525 nm的绿光,是由Mn2 的4T1→6A1跃迁引起的。测量了ZnAl2O4∶Mn膜阴极射线发光的色坐标和色纯度,其色坐标为x=0.150,y=0.734,色纯度为82%。ZnAl2O4∶Mn膜的阴极射线发光亮度和效率依赖于激发电压和电流密度。随着电流密度的增加,观察到了亮度饱和现象。在激发电压为4 kV、电流密度为38μA.cm-2的条件下,ZnAl2O4∶Mn薄膜的亮度可达540 cd.m-2,效率为4.5 lm.W-1。

Cathodoluminescent Characteristics of Green-Emitting ZnAl2O4:Mn Thin Film Phosphors

Green electroluminescence was obtained from thin films of ZnAl2O4: Mn prepared by rf magnetron sputtering onto thick insulating ceramic sheets. Photoluminescence and stress-stimulated luminescence was obtained for Mn-doped ZnAl2O4 powder synthesized by the solid phase reaction. Since it is extremely stable chemically and thermally, ZnAl2O4 may emerge as an alternative choice to sulphide-based phosphors. In the present paper, thin films of ZnAl2O4: Mn were grown on aluminosilicate ceramic plates using spray pyrolysis of aqueous solutions. The cathodoluminescence (CL) properties of the films under low to medium excitation voltage (<5 kV) were investigated. The films exhibited green CL after being annealed at temperatures above 550 degrees C, which corresponds to the transition between 4 T1 and (6)A1 of Mn2+ ions located in the tetra coordination of the Zn2+ site in the spinel structure. The chromaticity coordinates were x = 0.150 and y = 0.734 with a dominant wavelength of 525 nm and an 82% color purity. The CL luminance and efficiency depended on the excitation voltage and current density. Saturation effects were observed as the current density increased. A luminance of 540 cd x m(-2) and an efficiency of 4.5 lm x W(-1) were obtained at an excitation voltage of 4 kV with a current density of 38 microA x cm(-2).
