VUV Spectroscopy of GdPO4： Eu^3＋ and GdBO3： Eu^3＋

The emission and the excitation spectra of GdPO4 ： Eu^3＋ and GdBO3： Eu^3 ＋ prepared by solid state reaction method were investigated using the synchrotron radiation source of SUPERLUMI station of HASYLAB. The energy transfer between Gd^3＋ and Eu^3＋ was discussed with the probability of quantum cutting process. In the excitation spectra monitoring the red emission from Eu^3＋ , the distinct lines corresponding to the intraconfigurational 4f-4f transitions from Gd^3＋ were observed for both samples, indicating an efficient energy transfer from host Gd^3＋ ions to the doped Eu^3＋ ions. The efficient energy transfer is necessary for the quantum cutting process based on the two-step energy transfer from Gd^3＋ to Eu^3＋ . However, the overlapping of the lines corresponding to Gd^3＋ ：^8S7/2→^6GJ and the broad excitation band （180 - 270 nm） due to Eu^3＋- O^2- charge transfer states （CTS） around 200 nm cause excitation energy on ^6GJ levels to dissipate into CTS by direct energy transfer, unfavorable to the cross relaxation energy transfer between Gd^3＋ and Eu^3＋, thus unfavorable to the quantum cutting process. With the help of the general rules governing the energy positions of Eu^3＋-O^2- ：CTS, the suggestions concerning searching suitable oxide hosts for Gd^3＋-Eu^3＋ quantum cutting were made.     

Synthesis of ZnO：Dy Nanopowder and Photoluminescence of Dy^3＋ in ZnO

A type of dysprosium-doped ZnO （ZnO：Dy） nanopowder was synthesized by high temperature calcinations. XRD was used to analyze the structure. Photoluminescence spectra were used to study the optical characteristic. PL of ZnO：Dy shows two different spectra which are broad band resulted from the defect of Dy in ZnO and sharp lines from the 4f→4f transition of isolated Dy^3 ＋ luminescence center. The emission and excitation spectra depend on the excitation wavelength and the concentration of Dy^3＋ . The broad bands with peaks at 600 and 760 nm are attributed to the recombination from an electron of the defect Dy in ZnO to a hole in VB.     

A blue luminescence glass-ceramics of Eu^2＋ ions activated Li2O-BaO-B2O3

New blue luminescence glass-ceramic samples were prepared in air by annealing of the Eu^3＋-doped Li2O-BaO-B2O3 glass. The as-made glass samples only showed the sharp emission peaks assigned to the transitions of 5^D0-7^Fj （J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4） of Eu^3＋ ions. The glass-ceramic samples gave a strong and broad emission band peaking at about 382 nm ascribed to the 5d-4f transition of Eu^2＋ ions. The optical properties such as excitation and emission spectra, and the decay time of the Eu^2＋ ions were investigated in the glasses or the glass-ceramics samples. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that LiBan9O15 might be demonstrated to be the crystallites in the glass-ceramic, which contributed to the blue luminescence. SEM micrograph was investigated on the glass-ceramic samples obtained by crystallization of the glass matrix resulting in a mixture of poly-crystals.     

Luminescent properties of Ca2SiO4：Eu^3＋ red phosphor for trichromatic white light emitting diodes

The luminescent properties of Eu^3＋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 Eu^3＋. 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 effects of the Eu^3＋ 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 Eu^3＋ ions was 0.3 mol^-1, and Li^＋ ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4：Eu^3＋, Li^＋ was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes （WLED） based on UV InGaN chip.     

Effects of Doping Trace Sm^3＋ and Gd^3＋ on Luminescent Character of Y2O2S：Eu^3＋

After trace Sm^3＋ ions and Gd^3＋ ions doping, the emission intensity of red phosphors Y2O2S： Eu^3 ＋ was enhanced and the voltage character （relation between emission intensity and excitation voltage） was improved while the other properties of physics and chemistry were not changed. The origins of enhancement and improvement are discussed. Probably the distortion and the defect of crystals are decreased by the substitution of Gd^3＋ for Y^3＋ instead of Eu^3＋ for Y^3＋ , and thus the Eu^3＋ crystal field is improved, and radiationless process and energy loss resulted from crystal defect are weakened, which leads to increased luminescence intensity and voltage character improvement. The overlapping fluorescent spectra of Y2O2S： Sm^3＋ emission and Y2O2S：Eu^3＋ excitation as well as Eu^3 ＋ excitation spectra transitions spectra lead to energy transfer from Sm^3 ＋ sensitization of Sm^3＋ ions fectively. containing Sm^3＋ excitation the possibility of resonance ions to Eu^3＋ ions, and the to Eu^3＋ ions is achieved effectively.

Y2O2S：Sm^3＋, Mg^2＋, Ti^4＋ phosphor was synthesized by co-precipitation method. The crystalline structure of all synthesized phosphors was investigated by XRD. The result showed that all synthesized phosphors had a hexagonal crystal structure, which was the same as Y2O2S. The emission spectrum and excitation spectrum were measured, and the effect of Sm^3 ＋ molar ratio on the spectra was discussed. The emission spectra of the phosphors showed three emission peaks due to typical transitions of Sm^3 ＋ （4G5/2→6HJ ,J = 5/2, 7/2, 9/2）, and the emission peaks at 606 nm was stronger than others. With the increase of Sm^3 ＋ molar ratio, the emission intensity was strengthened. The excitation peaks were ascribed to the representative energy transition 4f→4f of Ti^4＋ phosphor prepared by co-precipitation method was Sm^3＋ ions. The results indicated that the Y2O2S ： Sm^3＋ , Mg^2＋ , an efficient long afterglow phosphor.     

Luminescent Properties of Green Phosphor Ca8Mg（SiO4 ）4 Cl2：EU^2＋ , DY^3＋ for LED Applications

The new phosphor calcium magnesium chlorosilicate, codoped with Eu^2＋ and Dy^3＋, was synthesized with the help of the high temperature solid state reaction in reducing atmosphere. The excitation and emission spectra were very similar to that of Ca8Mg（SiO4）4Cl2 ：Eu^2＋, and the Dy^3＋ concentration influenced the emission intensity of this phosphor. The intensity of Eu^2＋ and Dy^3＋ codoped CMSC was stronger than that of Eu^2＋ singly doped CMSC. The emission spectrum of the Dy^3＋ ion overlapped the absorption band of the Eu^2＋ ion, indicating that an energy transfer from Dy^3＋ to Eu^2＋ took place in CMSC：Eu^2＋, Dy^3＋ phosphor. The mechanism of the energy transfer from Dy^3＋ tO Eu^2＋, in this phosphor, might be resonant energy transfer.

XRD analysis shows that all these compounds are of a single phase of Bi2ZnB2O7, indicating that the Bi^3＋ in Bi2ZnB2O7 can be partly replaced by the Sm^3＋ without the change of crystal structure. The excitation and emission spectra at room temperature show the typical 4f-4f transitions of Sm^3＋ . The dominant excitation line is around 404 nm due to ^6H5/2→^4K11/2 and the emission spectrum consists of a series of lines at 563, 599, 646, and 704 nm due to ^4G5/2→^6H5/2, ^6H7/2, ^6H9/2, and ^6H11/2, respectively. The optimal concentration of Sm^3＋ in Bi2ZnB2O7 is about 3mol% （relative to lmol Bi^3＋ ） and the critical distance Rc was calculated as 2.1 nm. The temperature dependence of the emission intensity of Bi1.94Sm0.06ZnB2O7 was examined in the temperature range between 100 and 450 K. The quenching temperature where the intensity has dropped to half of the initial intensity is 280 K. The lifetime for Sm^3＋ in Bi1.94Sm0.06ZnB2O7 is fitted as a value of 0.29 and 1.03 ms.

Energy transfer in Tb~（3＋）,Yb~（3＋） codoped Lu_2O_3 near-infrared downconversion nanophosphors

Tb3+ and Yb3+ codoped Lu2O3 nanophosphors were synthesized by the reverse-strike co-precipitation method. The obtained Lu2O3:Tb3+,Yb3+ nanophosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The XRD results showed that all the prepared nanophosphors could be readily indexed to pure cubic phase of Lu2O3 and indicated good crystallinity. The Tb3+→Yb3+ energy transfer mechanisms in the UV-blue region in Lu2O3 nanophosphors were investigated. The experimental results showed that the strong visible emission around 543 nm from Tb3+ (5D4→7F5) and near-infrared (NIR) emission around 973 nm from Yb3+ (2F5/2→2F7/2) of Lu2O3:Tb3+,Yb3+ nanophosphors were observed under ultraviolet light excitation, respectively. Tb3+ could be effectively excited up to its 4f75d1 state and relaxed down to the 5D4 level, from which the energy was transferred cooperatively to two neighboring Yb3+. The Yb3+ concentration dependent luminescent properties and lifetimes of both the visible and NIR emissions were also studied. The lifetime of the visible emission decreased with the increase of Yb3+ concentration, verifying the efficient energy transfer from the Tb3+ to the Yb3+. Cooperative energy transfer (CET) from Tb3+ to Yb3+ was discussed as a possible mechanism for the near-infrared emission. When doped concentrations were 1 mol.% Tb3+ and 2 mol.% Yb3+, the intensity of NIR emission was the strongest.

Hydrothermal synthesis,structure study and luminescent properties of YbPO₄:Tb³⁺ nanoparticles

YbPO4:Tb3+ were synthesized by mild hydrothermal method.The luminescent properties,morphologies and structure of the obtained powders were characterized by photoluminescence(PL) spectra,FESEM,X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and FTIR.The results showed that the prepared YbPO4:Tb3+ nanoparticles were pure tetragonal phase and the average grain size varied with increasing of Tb3+ concentration.Hydrothermal temperature was revealed to be the key factor to enhance the emission intensity of YbPO4:Tb3+ phosphors.The spherical nanoparticles could be effectively excited by near UV(369 nm) light and exhibited green performance at 543 nm(5D4→7F5),489 nm(5D4→7F6) and 586 nm(5D4→7F4).The CIE chromaticity was calculated to be x=0.298,y=0.560.The YbPO4:Tb3+ nanoparticles exhibited potential to act as UV absorber for solar cells to enhance the conversion efficiency.     

红色Sr1-2xNaxWO4∶Eux3+荧光体的制备与发光性能

采用传统高温固相法,以钨酸锶为基质材料,掺杂稀土Eu3+制备了可被紫色光有效激发的红色荧光粉Sr1-2xNaxWO4∶Eu3x+。通过测定与分析样品Sr1-2xNaxWO4∶Eu3x+的激发和发射光谱,发现激发光谱在395nm处吸收值最大,发射光谱的发射主峰位于613nm处,属于Eu3+的5D0→7F2特征跃迁。不同的Eu3+掺杂浓度下样品发光强度不同,当x=0.07时发光强度最佳。电荷补偿剂Na+对样品发光强度的影响很大,主要原因是Na+的加入会影响基质的晶体结构,当Na+的含量与Eu3+含量相同时样品发光强度最好,Na+含量增加到一定程度后基质结晶不完善,荧光体的发光强度急剧下降。
