EU:Y2O3纳米晶的光谱特性与微结构

采用均相共沉淀法制备了不同粒径的Y2O3Eu3+和Y2O3粉体材料,根据红外光谱和荧光光谱,探讨了纳米Y2O3Eu3+粉体的微观结构与同质体微米材料相对变化.发现纳米粉体的Y(Eu)-O键吸收峰校正高度和面积随着颗粒的减小而减小,而对于同质微米材料却相反.分析认为Y(Eu)-O键红外吸收峰校正高度和面积由Y(Eu)-O键的平均键长和Y(Eu)-O键振动态的数目两个因素决定,对于微米粉Y(Eu)-O键长起主要作用.由于纳米粉体的比表面积随粒径的减少呈指数的增加,不饱和键和悬空键的数目随粒径减小而指数增加,Y(Eu)-O键振动态的数目起主要作用.计算了纳米粉体相对微米粉的跃迁强度参量Ωt/Ωt'值,发现Ω2和Ω4均增加,说明粉粒内部跃迁几率增加.纳米荧光粉比微米粉荧光强度减少的实验事实应是纳米粉粒表面效应引起的,与红外光谱实验的结果相符.

Electro-deposition of Y2O3:Eu thin film phosphor and its luminescent properties

Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ red-emitting thin film phosphor was prepared by a two-step process: the cathodical deposition of thin film of yttrium hydroxide and europium hydroxide followed by an annealing process to achieve Eu³⁺ doped Y₂O₃ film. It is found that the atomic content of Eu³⁺ can be well controlled by simply adjusting the volume ratio of Y(NO₃)₃ to Eu(NO₃)₃ solutions. Dependence of the photoluminescence intensity on the atomic content of Eu³⁺ in Y₂O₃ was also studied. The best photoluminescence performance of Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ thin film phosphor was achieved as atomic content of Eu³⁺ equal to 1.85 at.%.     

Uniform lanthanide-doped Y2O3 hollow microspheres: Controlled synthesis and luminescence properties

Lanthanide-doped uniform pure cubic phase Y₂O₃ hollow microspheres have been successfully synthesized via a facile, high yield urea-based coprecipitation route with assistant of carbon spheres templates. The diameter and shell thickness of the microspheres can be manipulated by adjusting carbon sphere templates. Under a 980 nm excitation, Yb³⁺/Er³⁺, Er³⁺, Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺-doped Y₂O₃ hollow microspheres emit bright upconversion red, green, blue light with high purity, respectively, while Eu³⁺, Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺-doped Y₂O₃ hollow microspheres exhibit intense downconversion red light under the excitation of 254 nm ultraviolet light. Especially, the 610 nm emission intensity of Eu³⁺ in the Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺-codoped Y₂O₃ hollow microspheres is almost 5 times of that in the Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ hollow microspheres indicating the occurring of the energy transfer from Tb³⁺ to Eu³⁺ ions.     

Improved luminescence from Y2Sn2O7:Tb nanoparticles co-doped with Sb ions

Very small nanoparticles (size 3-5 nm) of Y₂Sn₂O₇, Y₂Sn₂O₇:Tb³⁺ and Sb³⁺ co-doped Y₂Sn₂O₇:Tb³⁺ were prepared at a relatively low temperature of 700 °C. Y₂Sn₂O₇ host is characterised by an emission around 436 nm, which is arising from the oxygen vacancies present in the lattice. Tb³⁺ emission improves significantly when Sb³⁺ ions are co-doped with Y₂Sn₂O₇:Tb³⁺ nanoparticles. Incorporation of Sb³⁺ ions at the Y³⁺ site of Y₂Sn₂O₇ lattice and associated lattice distortion around Tb³⁺/Y³⁺ ions brought about by the difference in the stable coordination number of Sb³⁺ and Y³⁺ ions are responsible for the improved Tb³⁺ emission from the co-doped samples.     

Effects of post-deposition annealing on the structure and optical properties of Y2O3 thin films

Y₂O₃ thin film waveguides were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering. The effects of post-deposition annealing on the structure and optical properties have been investigated. The structural evolution of Y₂O₃ films with annealing temperature was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Spectroscopic ellipsometry was employed to determine the optical properties of Y₂O₃ films annealed at various temperatures. It was found that with increasing annealing temperature, the refractive index (n) of Y₂O₃ films increases. The optical band gap of Y₂O₃ films shifts to higher energy after higher temperature annealing, which is likely due to the reduction of defects and the change of crystalline structure in Y₂O₃ films.     

Photoluminescence properties of Y2O3:Tb and YBO3:Tb green phosphors synthesized by hydrothermal method

In this work, two Tb³⁺ activated green phosphors: Y₂O₃:Tb³⁺ and YBO₃:Tb³⁺ were prepared by hydrothermal method. Photoluminescence properties of both phosphors were studied in details. Both phosphors exhibit similar luminescent characteristics symbolized by the dominant green emission at 545 nm. Concentration quenching occurs at the Tb³⁺ concentration of 1.60 atomic% and 2.57 atomic% for Y₂O₃:Tb³⁺ and YBO₃:Tb³⁺, respectively. Luminescence decay properties were characterized to better understand the mechanism of concentration quenching. Based on the calculation, the concentration quenching in both phosphors was caused by the dipole–dipole interaction between Tb³⁺ ions.     

Y2O3添加量对Al2O3/ZrO2共晶陶瓷显微组织及力学性能的影响

为探索第三组元Y₂O₃添加对Al₂O₃/ZrO₂共晶陶瓷显微组织与机械性能的影响,本文利用低温度梯度的高温熔凝法制备了直径为20 mm的Al₂O₃/ZrO₂(Y₂O₃)共晶陶瓷块体,采用SEM、EDS及XRD技术对共晶陶瓷进行微结构分析,并利用维氏压痕法对其硬度和断裂韧性进行测试。SEM结果表明,凝固组织由群集的共晶团结构组成,随着Y₂O₃添加量的增加,共晶团形态由胞状转变为枝晶状,内部相间距在1~2 μm范围内变化。力学测试表明,Y₂O₃摩尔分数小于1.1%时,由于组织内部存在低硬度m-ZrO₂及微裂纹缺陷,故陶瓷硬度较低,约为(9.53±0.22 )GPa;当Y₂O₃摩尔分数为1.1%时,陶瓷硬度最大,约为(18.05±0.27)GPa;当Y₂O₃的摩尔分数大于1.1%时,由于共晶团边界区内气孔缺陷及粗大组织增多,引起陶瓷硬度值略有下降。低Y₂O₃摩尔分数添加时,陶瓷断裂韧性相对较高,约为(6.30±0.16)MPa·m^1/2,这与其内部存在大量微裂纹缺陷有关;随着Y₂O₃添加量的增加,陶瓷的微裂纹数量减少、边界区内缺陷增多,断裂韧性降低。     

Low-temperature synthesis of Y2SiO5:Eu powders using mesoporous silica and their luminescence properties

This paper reports the synthesis of Eu³⁺ ions-doped Y₂SiO₅ (Y₂SiO₅:Eu³⁺) powders by mesoporous template route. Using mesoporous silica SBA-15 as silica source, Y₂SiO₅:Eu³⁺ powders were prepared by solid-state reaction at a calcination temperature of 1300 °C without fluxes. The prepared Y₂SiO₅:Eu³⁺ powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The results show that the crystalline Y₂SiO₅:Eu³⁺ particles are dense and have a morphology similar to SBA-15. The low calcination temperature is attributed to the high reactive activity of SBA-15 with large surface area and non-crystalline structure. The Y₂SiO₅:Eu³⁺ powders prepared at a low calcination temperature show luminescence properties similar to the reported results of Eu³⁺ doped-Y₂SiO₅ samples prepared at high temperatures.     

Comparative analysis of crystal field effects and optical spectroscopy of six-coordinated Mn ion in the Y2Ti2O7 and Y2Sn2O7 pyrochlores

The electronic energy levels of the six-coordinated Mn⁴⁺ ion in the pyrochlores Y₂B₂O₇ (B = Sn⁴⁺, Ti⁴⁺) have been computed using the exchange charge model of crystal field theory. The calculated Mn⁴⁺ energy levels and their trigonal splitting are in good agreement with the experimental spectra. The calculated crystal field parameters show that the higher crystal field strength in Y₂Sn₂O₇ arises from an increased orbital overlap effect between the Mn⁴⁺ ion and the nearest oxygen ions, which are located at the 48f crystallographic position of the pyrochlore lattice. This increased overlap in Y₂Sn₂O₇ occurs despite the fact that the Mn⁴⁺-O²⁻ bond distance in Y₂Sn₂O₇ is longer than in Y₂Ti₂O₇ and is attributed to a lack of hybridization (covalent bonding) between the filled 2p orbital of oxygen ion occupying the 48f site of the pyrochlore lattice and the filled Sn⁴⁺ 4d¹⁰ orbital. The low temperature emission spectrum of Mn⁴⁺ activated Y₂Sn₂O₇ is analyzed in terms of a weak zero phonon line (R-line) with accompanying vibrational side bands.

采用水热法制备了CaMoO₄:Eu³⁺纳米荧光粉.研究了反应温度、反应时间和Eu³⁺掺杂浓度对CaMoO₄:Eu³⁺纳米晶的颗粒尺寸以及光学性能的影响.利用XRD、SEM、FT-IR、UV-Vis和PL对所得样品的相结构、形貌、光学吸收以及发光性能进行了表征.研究结果表明：所合成样品均为四方晶系白钨矿结构的CaMoO₄纳米晶;一方面,随着水热反应温度的降低或者反应时间的缩短,CaMoO₄:Eu³⁺纳米晶都表现出尺寸减小的趋势,荧光强度逐渐减弱,样品的紫外可见光吸收带边发生蓝移;另一方面,随着Eu³⁺掺杂浓度的增加,CaMoO₄:Eu³⁺纳米晶的颗粒尺寸逐渐减小,样品的紫外可见光吸收带边出现红移.同时,在275 nm的光激发下,CaMoO₄:Eu³⁺荧光粉在614 nm处的⁵D₀→⁷F₂跃迁具有最高的荧光强度,观察到红光发射,且发现其荧光猝灭摩尔浓度为6%.     

Greatly improved photoluminescence properties of the electrodeposited Y2O3:Eu thin film phosphors by the addition of Na and K ions

In this work, Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ thin film phosphors were prepared by electro-deposition method. The effect of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions on the photoluminescence properties of Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ thin film phosphor was studied in details. It was found that the addition of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions could improve the photoluminescence intensity by 3 to 4 times. The highly improved photoluminescence intensity may be caused by different factors. The improved crystallinity and the increased optical volume caused by the flux effect of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions could be the major reasons for the enhanced photoluminescence intensity. It was also found that the average lifetime of Y₂O₃:Eu³⁺ thin film phosphors could be adjusted by the molar amount of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions.
