Study on luminescent properties of Eu3+ doped Gd2WO6, Gd2W2O9 and Gd2(WO4)3 nanophosphors prepared by co-precipitation

Eu3+ doped Gd2WO6, Gd2W2O9 and Gd2(WO4)3 nanophosphors with different concentrations have been prepared by co-precipitation. XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) were used to investigate the structure and morphology. The emission spectra, excitation spectra and fluorescence decay curves were measured, and partial J-O parameters and quantum efficiencies of Eu3+ 5D0 energy level were calculated. Furthermore, concentration quenching curves of Eu3+ in different hosts were drawn. The photoluminescent properties of Eu3+ doped Gd2WO6, Gd2W2O9 and Gd2(WO4)3 nanophosphors have been studied. The results indicate that Eu3+ 5D0-7F2 red luminescence can be effectively excited by 395 nm and 465 nm in Gd2WO6 and Gd2W2O9 hosts, similar to the familiar Gd2(WO4)3:Eu. Especially Gd2W2O9:Eu has strong red emission and high quenching concentration, so it has potential applications for trichromatic white LED as red fluorescent materials.

Preparation and the luminescent properties of Tb3+-doped Gd2O3 fluorescent nanofibers via electrospinning

Tb(3+)-doped Gd(2)O(3) (Gd(2)O(3):Tb(3+)) nanofibers were prepared via a simple electrospinning technique using poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and rare-earth acetate tetrahydrates (Ln(CH(3)COO)(3)·4H(2)O (Ln = Gd, Tb)) as precursors. The obtained nanofibers have an average diameter of about 80 nm and are composed of pure cubic Gd(2)O(3) phase. A possible formation mechanism for the nanofibers is proposed on the basis of the experimental results, which reveals that PEO acts as the structure directing template during the whole electrospinning and subsequent calcination process. The luminescent properties of the nanofibers were investigated in detail. The nanofibers exhibit a favorable fluorescent property symbolized by the characteristic green emission (545 nm) resulting from the 5D4-->7F5 transition of Tb(3+). Concentration quenching occurs when the Tb(3+) concentration is 3 at.%, indicating that the Gd(2)O(3):Tb(3+) nanofibers have an optimum luminescent intensity under such a doping concentration.
