Luminescence properties of phosphate phosphors Ba3Gd1−x(PO4)3:xSm3+

A series of reddish orange phosphors Ba_3Gd_(1-x)(PO_4)_3:xSm~(3+)(x = 0.02.0.04,...,0.12) were prepared by the high-temperature solid-state reaction. X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) and diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectra were utilized to characterize the structure and spectral properties of the phosphors. The phosphors have strong absorption in the near-UV region. CIE chromaticity coordinates of the phosphors are located in the reddish orange region since the strongest emission band is around 598 nm and related to the ~4 G_(5/2)→~6 H_(7/2) transition of Sm~(3+). Optimal concentration of Sm~(3+) in the phosphors is about 6.0 at%. The quantum yield of the Ba_3Gd_(0.94)(PO_4)_3:0,06 Sm~(3+) under excitation at 403 nm is about 52.07%. Temperature dependent photoluminescence spectra of the Ba_3Gd_(0.94)(PO_4)_3:0.06 Sm~(3+) were measured and the phosphor exhibits high thermal stability of emission. All the results show that the Ba_3Gd(PO_4)_3:Sm~(3+) phosphor may be a potential red phosphor for near-UV based white LEDs.

Energy transfer,superior thermal stability and multi-color emitting properties of langbeinite-type solid-solution phosphor K_2Dy_(1.5-x)Eu_xTa_(0.5)(PO_4)_3

Langbeinite type compounds are a large kind of oxometallate with good flexibility structure.Herein,we synthesized a new langbeinite type compound K_2 Dy_(1.5)Ta_(0.5)(PO_4)_3,in which the Dy~(3+) and Ta~(5+) were blended to occupy the same crystallographic sites.Simultaneously,solid solutions of K_2 Dy_(1.5)_(-x)Eu_xTa_(0.5)(PO_4)_3(x=0-1.5) were prepared and their photoluminescence properties were investigated.Due to energy transfer from Dy~(3+) to Eu~(3+),both Dy~(3+) and Eu~(3+) characteristic emissions are observed under 393 nm light excitation.The emitting color of K_2 Dy_(1.5-x)Eu_xTa_(0.5)(PO_4)_3 turns from green through yellow to red by simply adjusting the Eu~(3+) concentration from 0 to 0.4.Moreover,K_2 Dy_(1.48)Eu_(0.02)Ta_(0.5)(PO_4)_3 phosphor possesses excellent fluorescence thermal stability and exhibits zero thermal quenching at 150 ℃.These results manifest that K_2 Dy_(1.5-x)Eu_xTa_(0.5)(PO_4)_3 solutions are promising multi-color emitting phosphors candidate for near-UV LED.

Influence of reaction parameters on the luminescence properties of monodisperse NaGd(1−x−y)(WO4)2:xEu3+,yTb3+ phosphor by molten salt synthesis

Eu~(3+) activated and Eu~(3+), Tb~(3+) co-activated monodisperse sodium double tungstates NaGd(WO4)2 phosphors were prepared by molten salt method at 750 ℃ for 10 h using NaCl as a flux. The crystal structure and morphology of the as-synthesized phosphors were measured by XRD and SEM, respectively. The photoluminescence properties were characterized by PL spectra, decay lifetime and CIE. The presence of NaCl plays an important role in the morphology and luminescence properties. In this work,NaCl and one of the raw material Na_2 CO_3 in a certain proportion will form a low eutectic salt to decrease the reaction temperature and benefit the formation of monodisperse NaGd(WO_4)_2 crystals. The color of Eu~(3+) and Tb~(3+) co-doped NaGd(WO_4)_2 phosphors can be tuned from creamy white to orange, red and green by adjusting the doping concentration of rare earth ions, since the emission contain the broad blue-green emission origin from NaGd(WO_4)_2 host and characteristic red and green emission origin from Eu~(3+) and Tb~(3+) ions. The electroluminescent spectra and CIE measurement shows that the LED device with NaGd_((1-x))(WO_4)_2:xEu~(3+)(x = 0.24) phosphor can be excited by 365 nm and 380 nm LED chip, and their CIE coordinate is(x = 0.45, y = 0.45) and(x = 0.36, y = 0.37), Ra is 80.3 and 86.3, T_c is 3196 and4556 K, respectively. As a single-component phosphor, NaGd(WO_4)_2:Eu~(3+),Tb~(3+) have potential application in UV-pumped WLEDs.

F~-掺杂对红色荧光粉NaGd(WMo)O_(8-x/2)F_x:Eu~(3+)的结构和发光特性的影响

采用高温固相法合成了NaGd(WMo)O_(8-x/2)F_x:Eu~(3+)(x=0、0.1、0.2、0.3、0.4、0.5)系列红色荧光粉。分别采用X射线衍射、荧光光谱测试手段对所得粉末的晶型及其发光性能进行了表征分析。结果表明,该系列红色荧光粉均为白钨矿四方晶系结构,空间点群结构为I41/a(88),可被近紫外光395 nm有效激发,其最强发射峰位于616 nm处,属于Eu~(3+)的~5D_0→~7F_2电偶极跃迁。F-离子掺杂量为0.2 mol时发光强度最强,与未掺杂F-相比其发光强度提高了41%,其色坐标为(0.653,0.336)。由此可见,NaGd(WMo)O_(7.9)F_(0.2):Eu~(3+)是一种具有潜在应用价值的白光LED红色荧光粉。

通过高温固相法合成了红色荧光粉系列Ba_(1-x)Al_2Si_2O_8:Eu_x~(3+),Li_(0.03)~+,并系统地研究了该系列荧光粉的晶体结构和发光性质的变化。合成的试样均为BaAl_2Si_2O_8晶体,均单斜晶系,空间群为C2/m(12)。Eu~(3+)取代Ba~(2+)格位进入基质BaAl_2Si_2O_8晶体,造成了基质晶胞参数a,b,c和晶胞体积V相应地减小,只引起了基质晶体结构轻微的畸变。试样的激发光谱位于220 nm~550 nm,由一个宽带激发谱和一组锐线峰带构成,激发光谱中的最强峰为393 nm(~7F_0→~5L_6)。通过393 nm波段对系列试样进行有效激发,收集到发射光谱均位于550 nm~750 nm,且由发射光谱中出现多条锐线峰,在614 nm(~5D_0→~7F_2)处发射峰最强,Eu~(3+)的595 nm(~5D_0→~7F_1)发射峰劈裂产生了590 nm、595 nm和599 nm处的三个分裂峰,而614 nm(~5D_0→~7F_2)发射峰劈裂为614 nm、617 nm、619 nm、622 nm和627 nm处的五个分裂峰,Eu~(3+)取代Ba~(2+)进入基质晶格BaAl_2Si_2O_8中,与其临近的氧配体形成了C2的点群对称性和Eu~(3+)主要占据非反演对称中心格位。系统研究了该系列荧光粉发光性能与掺杂离子Eu~(3+)浓度的关联。研究结果显示,当掺杂离子Eu~(3+)浓度x≤0.03时,荧光粉的发光强度随着掺杂离子Eu~(3+)浓度x的增加而增加,当x0.03时,随x的增加而减小。试样的色坐标不随掺杂离子Eu~(3+)浓度改变而改变;该系列荧光粉浓度淬灭机理为电偶极–电偶极相互作用。     

配位体修饰下Eu~(3+)掺杂CaF_2和LaF_3荧光粉发光性能的研究

采用微波法成功合成了具有特殊荧光性质的Eu~(3+)掺杂LaF_3和CaF_2荧光粉。利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、光致发光光谱(PL)等分析手段对样品的结构、形貌以及发光性能进行了表征。深入探讨了酒石酸钠、Eu~(3+)掺杂量对合成荧光粉发光性能的影响。实验结果表明,酒石酸钠添加量和Eu~(3+)的掺杂量对其荧光性能具有较大影响;摩尔比的变化使Eu~(3+)从磁偶极跃迁占主导转化为电偶极跃迁占主导,进而使主峰位置从之前的588 nm处变成613 nm处。但没有引起其他峰位置的变化,说明Eu~(3+)进入了LaF_3和CaF_2的晶格之中,而没有其他的变化。     

新型蓝色长余辉荧光粉SrAl_2O_(4-y)N_y∶Eu~(2+),Dy~(3+)发光性能研究

Synthesis and luminescence of β-SrGe(PO_4)_2:RE(RE=Eu~(2+),Eu~(3+),Tb~(3+)) phosphors for UV light-emitting diodes

A new series of β-Sr Ge(PO_4)_2:RE(RE=Eu~(2+),Eu~(3+),Tb~(3+)) phosphors were synthesized and characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction as well as excitation, and emission spectroscopy. The results exhibited that the singly doping Eu2+, Tb~(3+) and Eu~(3+) of β-Sr Ge(PO_4)_2 emit strong blue, green and red light under UV irradiation, respectively. Based on the charge transfer transitions of O~(2–)→RE~(3+), an overlapping excitation band of the as-obtained phosphors could be found in UV region, which made β-Sr Ge(PO_4)_2:RE(RE=Eu~(2+),Eu~(3+),Tb~(3+)) serve as a new series of RGB phosphors. Meanwhile, these phosphors could also be excited by 380 nm excitation simultaneously, and hence the three phosphors mixed physically could achieve the tunable hues from blue to white region by adjusting the mixed ratios.
