Photoluminescent properties of Eu3＋ and Tb3＋ codoped Gd2O3 nanowires and bulk materials

In this paper, the Gd2O3：Eu3＋,Tb3＋phosphors with different doping concentrations of Eu3＋and Tb3＋ions were prepared by a hydrothermal method for nanocrystals and the solid-phase method for microcrystals. The interaction of the doped ions with different concentrations and the luminescent properties of the nanocrystals and microcrystals were studied systematically. Their structure and morphology of Gd2O3：Eu3＋,Tb3＋phosphors were analyzed by means of X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron mi-croscopy （TEM） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The photoluminescence （PL） properties of Gd2O3：Eu3＋,Tb3＋phosphors were also systematically investigated. The results indicated that when the concentration of doped Eu3＋was fixed at 1 mol.%, the emis-sion intensity of Eu3＋ions was degenerating with Tb3＋content increasing, while when the Tb3＋content was fixed at 1 mol.%, the emission intensity of Tb3＋ions reached a maximum when the concentration of Eu3＋was 2 mol.%, implying that the energy transfer from Eu3＋to Tb3＋took place. In addition, Tb3＋could inspire blue-green light and the Eu3＋could inspire red light. Therefore co-doping systems by controlling the doping concentration and the hosts are the potential white emission materials.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Tb3+/Eu3+ co-doped GdAlO3 phosphors with enhanced red emission

The(Gd_(0.97-x)Eu_xTb_(0.03))AIO_3(x= 0.005-0.07) phosphors were synthesized by the co-precipitation method,using ammonium bicarbonate as a precipitant.The combined technologies of FT-IR,XRD,FESEM,PLE/PL and photo luminescence decay analysis were used to study the phase evolution,morphologies and luminescent properties.The phosphors with good dispersion exhibit strong vivid red emission located at 617 nm(~5 D_0-~7 F_2 transition of Eu~(3+)) under the optimal excitation wavelength of 275 nm(~4 f~8-4 f~75 d~1 transition of Tb~(3+),~8 S_(7/2)→6~I_J transition of Gd~(3+)).The presence of Gd~(3+) and Tb~(3+) excitation bands on the PLE spectra monitoring the Eu~(3+) emission directly gives an evidence of Tb~(3+) → Eu~(3+) and Gd~(3+) → Eu~(~(3+)) energy transfer,The emission intensity varies with the Eu~(3+) amount,and the quenching concentration is ～5 at% which is close to the calculated value.The quenching mechanism is determined to be the exchange reaction between Eu~(3+).The temperature-dependent PL analysis indicates that the best(Gd_(0.92)Eu_(0.05)Tb_(0.03))AlO_3 sample possesses good thermally stable properties.All the(Gd_(0.97-x)Eu_xTb_(0.03))AIO_3 phosphors in this work have similar CIE chromaticity coordinates and color temperatures,which are(0.65 ± 0.02,0.35 ± 0.02) and ～2558 K,respectively.Fluorescence decay analysis shows that the lifetime for～617 nm emission decreases with the content of Eu~(3+) and temperature increasing.Owing to the Tb~(3+)→ Eu~(3+) energy transfer,the luminescent properties of the(Gd_(0.92)Eu_(0.05)Tb_(0.03))AlO_3 phosphors are superior to the single Eu~(~(3+)) doped sample(Gd_(0.95)Eu_(0.05))AlO_3.As a result,the prepared phosphors may be widely used in solid-state display and light emitting devices.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of BaGd2O4:Eu3+ phosphors with highly efficient red-emitting

The BaGd_(2-2 x)Eu_(2 x)O_4(BG, x = 0.01-0.09) phosphors were successfully synthesized via the sol-gel method,and BaY_(2-2 y)Eu_(2 y)O_4(BY, y = 0.005-0.07) phosphors were included for comparison. The pure phase BG phosphors with the ordered CaFe_2 O_4-type structure are obtained by annealing at 1300℃ for5 h. The phosphors with uniform particle size of 120 nm and good dispersion display typical Eu~(3+)emission with the strongest peak at 613 nm(~5 D_0→~7 F_2 transition of Eu3+) under optimal excitation band at 262 nm(CTB band). The presence of Gd~(3+) excitation bands on the PLE spectra monitoring the Eu3+emission directly proves an evidence of Gd~(3+)-Eu~(3+) energy transfer. Owing to the concentration quenching, the optimum content of Eu3+ addition is 5 at%(x = 0.05), and the quenching mechanism is determined to be the exchange reaction between Eu3+. All the BG samples have similar color coordinates and temperature of(0.64 ± 0.02, 0.36 ± 0.01) and 2000 ± 100 K,respectively. The lifetime value of BaGd_(1.9)Eu_(0.1)O_4 for 613 nm is fitted to be 2.19 ± 0.01 ms, and the Eu~(3+) concentration does not change the lifetime significantly. Owing to the Gd~(3+)-Eu~(3+) energy transfer, the luminescent intensity of the BaGd_(1.9)Eu_(0.1)O_4 phosphor is better than BY system. The BG system served as a new type of phosphor is expected to be widely used in lighting and display areas.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of Ba3Y3.88Gd0.12O9:Eu3+ phosphors with enhanced red emission

In this work, the Gd³⁺/Eu³⁺ activated Ba₃Y₄O₉ (BYO) phosphors were successfully synthesized via coprecipitation method at 1400 °C. The precursor composition, crystal structure stability, microscopic morphology, photoluminescence (PL)/photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra and fluorescence attenuation analysis of the phosphors are discussed in detail. The chemical composition of the precursor was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetry (TG) analysis; According to field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis, it is found that the particle size of phosphor is uniform and the agglomeration is few. According to PL/PLE spectra analysis, Ba₃Y_3.28Eu_0.6Gd_0.12O₉ phosphors has the strongest excitation band at 260 nm and the strongest emission band at 614 nm, and the fluorescence intensity of Ba₃Y_3.28Eu_0.6Gd_0.12O₉ is higher than that of Ba₃Y_3.4Eu_0.6O₉. The quenching concentration of Eu³⁺ in Ba₃Y_3.88–4xEu_4xGd_0.12O₉ phosphors is x = 0.15 and the mechanism of quenching concentration of Eu³⁺ is electric dipole-quadrupole type interactions. The lifetime value of Ba₃Y_3.88–4xEu_4xGd_0.12O₉ (x = 0.15) phosphors is 0.686 ms and decreases with the increase of Eu³⁺ content. In addition, the CIE chromaticity diagram of Ba₃Y_3.28Eu_0.6Gd_0.12O₉ phosphors is (0.66, 0.34). Finally, the lamp beads assembled with Ba₃Y_3.28Eu_0.6Gd_0.12O₉ phosphors have an ideal luminous effect. Therefore, the Ba₃Y_3.88–4xEu_4xGd_0.12O₉ phosphors designed in this work may hopefully meet the requirements of various lighting and optical display applications.     

Study on spectroscopic properties of GdOBr:RE (RE=Eu, Tb, Ce)

Rare earth ions doped gadolinium oxybromide phosphors GdOBr:RE³⁺ (RE=Eu, Tb, Ce) were synthesized by the method of solid-state reaction at high temperature, and the VUV-VIS spectroscopic properties of the phosphors were systematically investigated. Under the excitation of VUV or UV source, the phosphors doped with Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ show a bright and sharp emission at around 620 nm corresponding to the forced electric dipole ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ transition of Eu³⁺, and at around 544 nm corresponding to the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F₅ transition of Tb³⁺, respectively. For GdOBr:Ce³⁺, a broader and intense emission spanned 370–500 nm corresponding to the d-f transition of Ce³⁺ was observed. The excitation spectra were also analyzed.     

Synthesis and optical characterization of Eu2+,Tb3+-codoped Sr3Y(PO4)3 green phosphors

A series of Eu~(2+),Tb~(3+)-codoped Sr_3 Y(PO_4)_3(SYP) green phosphors were synthesized by hightemperature solid-state reaction. Several techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectrum,and photoluminescence spectrum, were used to investigate the obtained phosphors. The present study investigates in detail photoluminescence excitation and emission properties, energy transfer between the two dopants, and effects of doping ions on optical band gap. SYP:0.05 Eu2+ phosphor shows an intense and broad excitation band ranging from 220 to 400 nm and exhibits a bright green emission band with CIE chromaticity coordinates(0.189, 0.359) under 350 nm excitation. Green emission of SYP:0.03 Tb3+ is intensified by codoping with Eu~(2+), and energy transfer mechanism between them is demonstrated to be a dipole-dipole interaction. Upon 350 nm excitation, SYP:Eu~(2+),Tb~(3+) phosphors exhibits two dominating bands peaking at 466 and 545 nm, which are assigned to 4 f~65 d~1→4 f~7 transition of Eu~(2+) ions and ~5 D_4→~7 F_5 transition of Tb~(3+) ions, respectively. Optimal doping concentrations of Eu~(2+) and Tb~(3+) in the SYP host are 5 mol% and 15 mol%, respectively. Results indicate that SYP:Eu~(2+),Tb~(3+) phosphors are potentially used as green-emitting phosphors for white light-emitting diodes.     

Upconversion multicolor tuning of NaY(WO4)2:Tb3+ with Eu3+ doping

A series of Tb~(3+) and Eu~(3+) co-doped NaY(WO_4)_2 phosphors were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions.The crystal structure,morphology,upconversion luminescent properties,the energy transfer from Tb~(3+) to Eu~(3+)ions and the ~5 D_4→ ~7 F_5 transition of the Tb~(3+) ion in NaY(WO_4)_2:Tb~(3+),Eu~(3+) phosphors were investigated in details.The results indicate that all the synthesized samples are of pure tetragonal phase NaY(WO_4)2.Furthermore,the micrometer-sized needle spheres and excellent dispersion of the particles are obtained by adding polyethylene glycol(PEG-2000) as the surfactant.Phosphors of NaY(WO_4)_2:Tb~(3+),Eu~(3+) exhibit the492 nm blue emission peak,546 nm green emission peak,595 nm orange emission peak and 616 nm red emission peak under 790 nm excitation.The energy transfer from Tb~(3+) to Eu~(3+) is a resonant transfer,in which electric dipole-dipole interaction plays a leading role.By adjusting the doping concentration of Eu~(3+) in NaY(WO_4)_2: 1.0 mol%Tb~(3+),xmol%Eu~(3+) phosphors,the emitting color of UC phosphors can be tuned from green to red.     

Spectral properties and Judd–Ofelt analysis of novel red phosphors Gd2InSbO7:Eu3+ with high color purity for white LEDs

Gd₂InSbO₇:Eu³⁺ red phosphors were successfully synthesized via high-temperature solid–state reaction. The phase purity, particle size, and luminescence properties of obtained phosphors were measured and analyzed in detail. The Gd₂InSbO₇ lattice possesses cubic structure with F_d-3m (227) space group. The phosphors emit bright red emission at 628 nm under 393 nm excitation, and this phenomenon is attributed to the ⁵D₀–⁷F₂ transition. The Judd–Ofelt parameters (Ω₂, Ω₄), transition ratio, and branching ratios (β) of Eu³⁺-doped Gd₂InSbO₇ phosphor were calculated on the basis of the emission spectra and decay lifetimes. The optimal content in Gd₂InSbO₇:xEu³⁺ is identified to be 15 mol%. The thermal quenching of Gd₂InSbO₇:Eu³⁺ is found to be over 500 K, and its activation energy is 0.26 eV. The Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of Gd₂InSbO₇:15%Eu³⁺ are (0.629, 0.371), which are close to ideal red chromaticity coordinates (0.670, 0.330). The fabricated w-LED exhibits good color rendering index (R_a) (86), correlated color temperature (CCT) (6997 K), and CIE chromaticity coordinates (0.302, 0.330). The obtained results demonstrate that Gd₂InSbO₇:Eu³⁺ phosphors have potential applications in white LEDs.     

White light emission of Eu^3＋/Ag co-doped Y2Si2O7

The Eu3+/Ag co-doped rare earth disilicate Y2Si2O7 microcrystal was synthesized by sol-gel method. Through controlling the thermal treatment process of Y2Si2O7:Eu3+/Ag precursor, various phases(amorphous, α, β, γ, δ) were prepared. White light emission was observed under UV light excitation in the samples heavily doped with Ag. The white light was realized by combining the intense red emission of Eu3+, the green emission attributed to the very small molecule-like, non-plasmonic Ag particles(ML-Ag-particles), and the blue emission due to Ag ions. Results demonstrated that Eu3+/Ag co-doped Y2Si2O7 microcrystal could be potentially applied as white light emission phosphors for UV LED chips.     

Enhanced afterglow performance of CaAl_2O_4:Eu~(2+),Nd~(3+) phosphors by co-doping Gd~(3+)

In order to effectively improve the afterglow properties of CaAl_2 O_4:Eu~(2+),Nd~(3+) phosphors,a series of Ca_(0.982-x)Al_2 O_4:0.012 Eu~(2+),0.006 Nd~(3+),xGd~(3+)(x=0,0.012,0.024,0.036,0.048,0.060 mol) phosphors were prepared by a high-temperature solid-phase approach.Crystalline composition and microstructure were characterized by XRD,TEM,HRTEM,and XPS,luminescence properties were systematically analyzed by fluorescence spectra,afterglow decay curves and TL glow curve.Results show that all of Ca_(0.982-x)Al_2 O_4:0.012 Eu~(2+),0.006 Nd~(3+),xGd~(3+)phosphors belong to monoclinic CaAl_2 O_4,without other cystalline phase.The blue emission at 442 nm is observed,which is assigned to the 4 f~65 d→4 f~7 transition of Eu~(2+) ions.Doping with appropriate amount of Gd~(3+) ions(x=0.036 mol) significantly improves the afterglow properties of phosphors,but the excessive doping of Gd~(3+) induces the fluorescent quenching.The doping of moderate Gd3+changes the traps states,the trap depth varies from 0.598 to 0.644 eV and the trap concentration is also greatly improved,thus significantly improving afterglow performance.     

Zirconium metal organic framework for design of tetragonal rare earth-doped zirconia nanoparticles

Zirconium metal–organic frameworks ZrOBDC (where BDC = C₆H₄(COOH)₂, terephthalic acid) doped and co-doped with rare earth ions Ln (ZrOBDC:Ln³⁺, where Ln³⁺ = Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ as well as Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺) were used as precursors for the design of tetragonal rare earth doped zirconia nanoparticles (t-ZrO₂:Ln³⁺ NPs) through annealing process. Preparation, characterization and luminescence properties of ZrOBDC:Ln³⁺ and ZrO₂:Ln³⁺ NPs were investigated. The as-obtained t-ZrO₂:Ln³⁺ NPs have high purity with an average size of 20–30 nm. The luminescence spectra of ZrOBDC:Tb³⁺ and ZrOBDC:Eu³⁺ display strong green and red emission at around 544 and 611 nm which correspond to ⁵D₄ → ⁷F₅ and ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ transitions of Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions, respectively. The green and red up-conversion emissions of ZrO₂:Er³⁺,Yb³⁺ NPs due to ²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transitions of the Er³⁺ ions are observed under 976 nm laser excitation.

A novel long lasting phosphor Sr5 （PO4）3FxCll_x：Eu2＋,Gd3＋ prepared in air condition

A series of blue long afterglow mixed halide-phosphate phosphors Sr5 （PO4）3 FxCll-x：Eu2＋,Gd3＋ were synthesized in air by traditional solid-state reaction routte. The crystal structures, photoluminescence, thermolurninescenee properties and afterglow proper- ties of the phosphors were characterized systematically using X-ray diffraction （XRD）, luminescence spectrophotometer, microcom- puter thermoluminescence dosimeter and single photon counter, respectively. Under 280 nm excitation, the broadband emissions of Eu2＋ ions were observed at 445 nm （blue） due to the 4f7→4f65d transition. It was demonstrated that there existed the self-reduction of the Eu3＋ to Eu2＋ ions in this special halide-phosphate matrix in air condition. The addition of Gd3＋ ions obviously enhanced the after- glow properties of the single doped Eu2＋ ions in the halide-phosphate phosphors. And the content of the fluoride anions also had sig- nificant influence on the afterglow properties. All results indicated that Srs （PO4）3 FxCI1-x：Eu2＋,Gd3＋ might be potential phosphors for long lasting phosphorescence （LLP） materials.     

Specific features of Eu^3＋ and Tb^3＋ magnetooptics in gadolinium-gallium garnet （Gd3Ga5O12）

We reported magnetooptical properties of Eu3+(4f(6)) and Tb3+(4f(8)) in single crystals of Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG), Y3Ga5O12 (YGG), and Eu3+(4f(6)) in Eu3Ga5O12 (EuGG) for both ions occupying sites of D2 symmetry in the garnet structure. Absorption, luminescence, and magnetic circular polarization of luminescence (MCPL) spectra of Tb3+ in GGG and YGG and absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of Eu3+ in EuGG were studied. The data were obtained at 85 K and room temperature (RT). Magnetic susceptibility of Eu3+ in EuGG was also measured between 85 K and RT. The magnetooptical and magnetic susceptibility data were modeled using the wavefunctions of the crystal-field split energy (Stark) levels of Eu3+ and Tb3+ occupying D2 sites in the same garnets. The results reported gave a precise determination of these Stark level assignments and confirmed the symmetry labels (irreducible representations) of the closely-spaced Stark levels (quasi-doublets) found in the 5D1 (Eu3+) and 5D4 (Tb3+) multiplets. Ultraviolet (UV) excitation (<300 nm) of the 6PJ and 6IJ states of Gd3+ in the doped GGG crystals led to emission from 5D4 (Tb3+) and 5D1 and 5D0 (Eu3+) through radiationless energy transfer to the 4f(n-1)5d band of Tb3+ and to UV quintet states of Eu3+. The temperature-dependent emission line shapes and line shifts of the magnetooptical transitions excited by UV radiation suggested a novel way to explore energy transfer mechanisms in this rare-earth doped garnet system.     

Luminescent properties of Eu~（3＋） doped Gd_2WO_6 and Gd_2（WO_4）_3 nanophosphors prepared via co-precipitation method

Eu3+ doped Gd2WO6 and Gd2(WO4)3 nanophosphors with different concentrations were prepared via a co-precipitation method. The structure and morphology of the nanocrystal samples were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. The emission spectra and excitation spectra of samples were measured. J-O parameters and quantum efficiencies of Eu3+ 5D0 energy level were calculated, and the concentration quenching of Eu3+ luminescence in different matrixes were studied. The results indicated that effective Eu3+:5D0-7F2 red luminescence could be achieved while excited by 395 nm near-UV light and 465 nm blue light in Gd2WO6 host, which was similar to the familiar Gd2(WO4)3:Eu. Therefore, the Gd2WO6:Eu red phosphors might have a potential application for white LED.     

Investigation on luminescence properties of Ln^3＋ doped Sr3EuMgSi2O8 （Ln=Dy, Er, Ho）

The luminescent properties of Sr2.97MgSi2O8:Eu2+0.01 phosphors were investigated with different Ln3+0.02(Ln3+:Dy3+,Er3+,Ho3+) co-dopants. The co-dopants had no influence on both the structure of the lattice and the position of the emission peak. However, the afterglow properties of samples were enhanced with different co-dopants. The afterglow duration of the Dy3+ co-doped sample was longer than that of the others. Furthermore, the co-doping samples had stronger thermoluminescence (TL) intensity and therefore longer afterglow duration. At last, the self-reduction of Eu3+→Eu2+ was observed in an silicate compound of Sr3-xMgSi2O8:xEu phosphor in air condition. This is the first time to show a blue long afterglow phosphor synthesized avoiding reducing atmosphere.     

Luminescent properties of amorphous phosphor 1.4YeO3·2.5Al2O3·0.1Tb2O3 prepared by sol-gel method

Amorphous phosphor 1.4YeO3·2.5Al2O3·0.1Tb2O3 （the same composition as Y2.8Tb0.2Al5O12） was prepared via a sol-gel method at relatively low temperature （i.e., below 650℃）, which is much lower than that for the preparation of polycrystalline Y3Al5O12：Tb^3＋ （above 1400℃）. The amorphous phosphor prepared in the optimized conditions showed a bright green-yellowish luminescence, the intensity of which was comparable with that of polycrystalline sample and the emissions of which were assigned to 5D4 → 7Fj transitions of Tb^3＋. Besides the emissions of Tb^3＋, the amorphous samples prepared at temperatures below 500 ℃ presented a weak blue emission band around 420 nm.     

Green and red phosphor for LED backlight in wide color gamut LCD

Wide color gamut(WCG) backlight for liquid crystal display(LCD) utilizing white light-emitting diodes(LED) has attracted considerable attention for their high efficiency and color reduction.In this review,recent developments in crystal structure,luminescence and applications of phosphors for wide color gamut LED backlight are introduced.As novel red phosphors,Mn~(4+)activate fluoride and aluminate phosphors are advanced in quantum efficiency,thermal quenching and color saturation for their characteristic spectrum with broad excitation band and linear emission.The crystal structure and fluorescence properties of Mn~(4+)doped fluosilicate,fluorogermanate,fluotitanate,as well as Sr_4 Al_(14)O_(25),CaAl_(12)O_(19) and BaMgAl_(10)O_(17) phosphors are discussed in detail.A serial of narrow-band red-emitting Eu~(2+),Eu~(3+)and Pr~(3+)-doped nitride silicates and molybdate phosphors are also introduced.Rare-earth-doped oxynitride and silicate green-emitting phosphors have attracted more and more attention because of the wide excitation,narrow emission,high quenching temperature,high quantum efficiency,such as β-sialon:Eu~(2+),Ba_3Si_6O_(12)N_2:Eu~(2+),MSi_2O_2N_2:Eu~(2+)(M=Ca,Sr,Ba),y-AlON:Mn~(2+)and Ca_3Sc_2Si_3O_(12):Ce~(3+).All above phosphors demonstrate their adaptability in wide color gamut LCD display.Especially for Mn~(4+)doped fluosilicate red phosphor and β-sialon:Eu~(2+)green phosphor.To achieve an ultra-high color gamut in white LED backlight and against the OLED,innovative narrow-band-emission red and green phosphor materials with independent intellectual property rights are continuously pursed.     

A new oxyapatite red phosphor Eu3+-doped Ca3Y7(BO4)(SiO4)5O: Synthesis,structure and luminescence properties

A series of new oxyapatite red phosphors Ca₃Y₇(BO₄)(SiO₄)₅O doped with different concentrations of Eu³⁺ were successfully synthesized by high temperature solid state method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) Rietveld refinement results show that the structure of the phosphor belongs to space group P6₃/m and Eu³⁺ ion replaces Y³⁺ ion. The emission spectrum consists of the characteristic emission peaks corresponding to Eu³⁺ under the excitation of 274 nm and the dominant emission peak is at 614 nm (⁵D₀→⁷F₂ of Eu³⁺). The concentration quenching effect occurs and the optimized Eu³⁺ concentration is 4.0 mol%. The energy level diagram for luminous mechanism is also given and the non-radiative energy transfer mechanism between Eu³⁺ is mainly exchange interaction. The CIE coordinate is close to the ideal red light and the color purity is higher than 99.79%. Moreover, the phosphor exhibits moderate thermal stability because the photoluminescence intensity at 423 K is still maintained at higher than 78.97% of that at room temperature. The internal quantum efficiency of Ca₃Y₇(BO₄)(SiO₄)₅O:4.0 mol%Eu³⁺ phosphor is 58.2%. A red light emitting diode (LED) device based on it can emit bright red light. The CCT values of the device are basically unchanged when driven by various bias current. The results show that Ca₃Y₇(BO₄)(SiO₄)₅O:Eu³⁺ is a new type of oxyapatite red fluorescent material with good comprehensive performances.
