Research on fabricating technique of Ba-Al-S:Eu sputtering target

Ba-Al-S-Eu sputtering target for blue emitting phosphors was prepared by powder sintering method.

Synthesis of Long Afterglow Phosphors MAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+(M=Ca, Sr, Ba) by Microemulsion Method and Their Luminescent Properties

Long afterglow phosphors MAl2O4:Eu2 , Dy3 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) were synthesized by microemulsion method, and their crystal structure and luminescent properties were compared and investigated. XRD patterns of samples indicate that phosphors CaAl2O4:Eu2 , Dy3 and SrAl2O4:Eu2 , Dy3 are with monoclinic crystal structure and phosphor BaAl2O4:Eu2 , Dy3 is with hexagonal crystal structure. The wide range of excitation spectrum of phosphors MAl2O4:Eu2 , Dy3 (M=Ca,Sr,Ba) indicates that the luminescent materials can be excited by light from ultraviolet ray to visible light and the maximum emission wavelength of phosphors MAl2O4:Eu2 , Dy3 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) is found mainly at λem of 440 nm (M=Ca), 520 nm (M=Sr) and 496 nm (M=Ba) respectively, the corresponding colors of emission light are blue, green and cyna-green respectively. The afterglow decay tendency of phosphors can be summarized as three processes: initial rapid decay, intermediate transitional decay and very long slow decay. Afterglow decay curves coincide with formula I=At-n, and the sequence of afterglow intensity and time is Sr＞Ca＞Ba.

Luminescent characteristics of Ba3Y2（BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor for white LED

The Ba3Y2（BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor was synthesized using a high temperature solid-state reaction method and the luminescent characteristics were investigated. The emission spectrum exhibited one strong red emission at 613 nm, corresponding to the electric dipole 5D0-TF2 transition of Eu^3＋, under 365 nm excitation. The excitation spectrum of 613 nm indicated that the Ba3Y2（BO3）n：Eu^3＋ phosphor was effectively excited by ultraviolet （UV） （254, 365 and 400 nm） and blue （470 nm） light. The effect of Eu^3＋ concentration on the 613 nm emission of the Ba3Y2（BO3）n：Eu^3＋ phosphor was measured. The results showed that the emission intensity increased with increasing Eu^3＋ concentration, and then decreased. The CIE color coordinates of Ba3Y2（BO3）4：Eu^3＋ phosphor were x=0.641 and y=0.359 at 15 mol.% Eu^3＋.     

Interpretation of the 4f-5d Excitation Spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ Doped in Crystals

The structure of the low-temperature 4f^N→4f^N-15d excitation spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ doped in crystals LiYF4, YPO4 and CaF2 measured by van Pieterson et al. in 2002 was analyzed and assigned based on the simple model proposed by Duan and co-workers in the last few years. Some complemental discussion on effects of J-mixing on the f-d transition intensities for Eu^3＋ due to the f-electron crystal-field interaction Hcf（f）, which was ignored in the simple mod- el, was presented. Some previously unexplained peaks for Tb^3 ＋ were interpreted to be spin-forbidden transitions to higher 5d crystal-field levels, or assigned to be f→d excitations with the core 4f7 excited from ^8S to ^6P, ^6I and ^6D, respectively. It is shown that the main structure of 4f-Sd excitation spectra of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ can be well interpreted with the simple model.     

Luminescent Properties of Ca2 Y8 ( SiO4 ) 6O2:Eu3 + Phosphors Prepared by Spray Pyrolysis Process

Using CaCO3, metal oxides (all dissolved by nitric acid) and tetraethoxysilane Si (OC2H5 )4 (TEOS) as the main starting materials, Ca2Y8 (SiO4 )6O2: Eu3 phosphors were synthesized by spray pyrolysis.X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra as well as lifetimes were used to characterize the resulting phosphors.The results of XRD indicated that the 1000 ℃ annealed powders crystallize with the silicate oxyapatite structure.SEM study revealed that the phosphors consist of spherical particles with an average size of about 1 ～ 3 μm.In the crystalline Ca2 Y8 (SiO4)6O2: Eu3 phosphor, the Eu3 shows its characteristic emission corresponding to 5 D0 - 7 FJ ( J = 0, 1,2, 3, 4) transitions, with 5D0 - 7 F2 red emission (613 nm) as the most prominent group, agreeing well with the structure of the host material.

Effect of gadolinium incorporation on optical characteristics of YNbO_4：Eu~（3＋） phosphors for lamp applications

Eu3+-doped (Y,Gd)NbO4 phosphor was synthesized by solid-state reaction for possible application in cold cathode fluorescent lamps. A broad absorption band with peak maximum at 272 nm was observed which was due to the charge transfer between Eu3+ ions and neighboring oxygen anions. A deep red emission at the peak wavelength of 612 nm was observed which could be attributed to the 5D0→7F2 transition in Eu3+ ions. The highest luminance for Y1-x-yGdyNbO4:Eux3+ under 254 nm excitation was achieved at Eu3+ concentration of 18 mol.% (x=0.18) and Gd3+ concentration of 8.2 mol.% (y=0.082). The luminance of Y0.738Gd0.082NbO4:Eu3+0.18 was higher than that of a typical commercial phosphor Y2O3:Eu3+ and the CIE chromaticity coordinate was (0.6490, 0.3506), which was deeper than that of Y2O3:Eu3+. The particle size of the synthesized phosphors was controlled by the NaCl flux and particle size as high as 8 μm with uniform size distribution of particles was obtained.     

Preparation and Fluorescent Property of Eu-Doped High Silica Glasses

A method to fabricate europium ions doped-high silica glass for transparent fluorescence materials based on the fabrication and sintering technique of nano-porous silica glass was reported. Glasses impregnated with Eu ions and sintered at above 1150 ℃ in a reduction atmosphere show a very strong blue light from an emission band at about 430 nm due to the 4f65d→4f7(8S7/2) transition of the Eu2 ions. On the other hand, the Eu-doped glass obtained by co-impregnated with Y3 and V5 ions and sintering in oxidation atmosphere behaves a very strong red emission band at about 615 nm with a UV excitation. An appearance of vanadate band in the excitation spectrum of Eu3 , Y3 and V5 ions co-doped high silica glass implies an effective energy transferring from VO43- to Eu3 and effective excitation of Eu3 by about 500 nm strong broad emission of VO43-.     

Luminescent properties of Ca2SiO4:Eu3+ red phosphor for trichromatic white light emitting diodes

The luminescent properties of Eu3 doped Ca2SiO4 red phosphors synthesized by the flux fusion reaction method were investigated. It was found that the excitation spectrum included two regions: the weak excitation band below 325 nm and strong narrow peaks above 325 nm. The main peak of the excitation band was located at 400 nm. The peaks located at 290 nm were assigned to the combination of the charge transfer transition of O-Eu, peaks above 325 nm (325, 385, 400, 470, 511, and 539 nm) were assigned to the f–f transitions of Eu3 . The emission spectrum was dominated by the red peak located at 612 nm due to the electric dipole transition of 5D0–7F2. In addition, the ef- fects of the Eu3 content and charge compensators of Li , Na , K , and Cl– ions on the emission intensity were investigated. The experiment results suggested that the strongest emission was obtained when the concentration of the Eu3 ions was 0.3 mol–1, and Li ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4:Eu3 , Li was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes (WLED) based on UV InGaN chip.     

Combustion synthesis and luminescence properties of blue NaBaPO4:Eu2+ phosphor

The blue-emitting phosphor NaBaPO4:Eu2+ was prepared by the combustion method. The phase structure and microstructure of the as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Under the excita-tion wavelength of 360 nm, the emission spectrum exhibited only one blue band centering at 435 nm, which was ascribed to the 4f65d1→4f7 transition on Eu2+ ions. Compared with the phosphor obtained by solid-state reaction method, the relative emission intensity of sample ob-tained by combustion method increased slightly. The decay times and the temperature dependence luminescence intensities (25-300 oC) were discussed in order to further investigate the potential applications. Furthermore, Eu2+-doped NaBaPO4 phosphor showed higher thermally sta-ble luminescence comparable to commercially available Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce3+) phosphor. All the investigated suggestions that Na-BaPO4:Eu2+ is a good phosphor candidate applied in white light emitting diode.     

Synthesis of nanocomposite thin films based on the Mo-Si-C ternary system and compositional tailoring through controlled ion bombardment

A major advantage of sputtering processes compared to evaporation processes is the possibility of synthesizing films that replicate the composition of the source (target) material,particularly in the case of alloy targets. This is related to the unique feature of sputtering, viz, formation of an “altered layer” which facilitates reproduction of the target composition in the thin film. An exciting and novel area of research deals with the synthesis of nanocomposite thin films by sputtering composite targets. In this article, the feasibility of depositing a composite thin film based on the Mo-Si-C temary system through RF magnetron sputtering of a MoSi₂+XSiC target, and the possibility of modifying the film composition by controlled ion bombardment (i.e., “ion plating” or “bias sputtering”), will be discussed. In this context, the role of the sputter yields for Mo, Si, and C will be examined with respect to the ability to vary the composition of as-deposited films. In addition, the modifications which were required to sputter a 58.4-mm-diameter composite target (produced inhouse, by different synthesis reactions) using a 127×381-mm Vac Tec cathode will be discussed. Details of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of the as-deposited films will be presented.
