Enhancement of photoluminescence of Ba2SiO4：Eu^2＋ by co-doping of La^3＋ or Y^3＋

Green light-emitting Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphors co-doped with La or Y were synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction technique in reductive atmosphere (a mixture of 5% H2 and 95% N2). The results showed that the co-doping of La and Y could greatly enhance the fluorescence intensity of Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ phosphors. The optimum doping concentration expressed by the x value in (Ba0.985-1.5xREx)2SiO4: 0.03Eu2+ (RE=La or Y) was determined to be of 0.05. The excitation and emission peaks of all as-synthesized phosphors were wide bands. The excitation bands ranged from 250 to 400 nm, which matched well with the wavelength of near ultraviolet white light-emitting diodes (LED) chip and could be used as a potential candidate for the fabrication of white LED. The emission bands from 450 to 550 nm were typical 5d-4f transition emission of Eu2+ and displayed un-symmetry profiles because of the two substitution sites of Ba2+ with Eu2+.

Luminescent properties of Ca2SiO4:Eu3+ red phosphor for trichromatic white light emitting diodes

The luminescent properties of Eu3 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 Eu3 . 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 ef- fects of the Eu3 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 Eu3 ions was 0.3 mol–1, and Li ions gave the best improvement to enhance the emission intensity. Ca2SiO4:Eu3 , Li was thus suitable for low-cost trichromatic white light emitting diodes (WLED) based on UV InGaN chip.

The europium-doped LaF3 nanoparticles were prepared by refluxing method in glycerol/water mixture and characterized with X-ray diffraction(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, and photoluminescence spectra. The results of XRD indicated that the obtained LaF3: Eu3+ nanoparticles were well crystallized with a hexagonal structure.

In addition, the emissions from the 5D1 level could be clearly observed due to the low phonon energies (-350 cm-1) of LaF3 matrix. The optimum doping concentration for LaF3: Eu3+ nanoparticles was determined to be 20mol.%.     

Properties of red-emitting phosphors Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3+ prepared by gel-combustion method assisted by microwave

Novel red-emitting phosphors Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3+ were prepared by gel-combustion method assisted by microwave. The phase struc-ture and luminescent properties of as-synthesized phosphors were investigated by XRD and fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. The results showed that the as-synthesized sample was Sr2MgSi2O7 with tetragonal crystal structure. The excitation spectrum of Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu3+ was composed of two major parts: one was the broad band between 200 and 350 nm, which belonged to the charge transfer of Eu3+-O2-; the other consisted of a series of sharp lines between 350 and 450 nm, ascribed to the f-f transition of Eu3+. The emission spec-trum consisted of two emission peaks at 593 and 616 nm, which was attributed to 5D0→7F1 and 5D0→7F2 of Eu3+, respectively. The concen-tration of Eu3+ (x) had great effect on the emission intensity of Sr2-xMgSi2O7:Eu3+x. When x varied in the range of 0.04-0.18, the intensity of emission peaks at 593 and 616 nm increased gradually with the concentration of Eu3+ increasing. It was interesting that no concentration quenching occurred. Moreover, the luminescent intensity could be greatly enhanced with incorporation of charge compensator Li+ ions.

Eu3+ -activated Gd2(MoO4)3 pseudo-pompon-like red-emitting phosphors were prepared by solid-state method.The structure,morphology,and luminescent properties of these powder samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and fluorescent spectrophotometry,respectively.The as-obtained phosphors were single crystalline phase with orthorhombic unit cell.The particles of the powder samples had the length of 5-12 μm and width of 3-7 μm with flake shape and large surface area,which is suitable for manufacture of white LEDs.The phosphor could be efficiently excited by the incident light of 348-425 nm,well matched with the output wavelength of near-UV (In,Ga)N chip,and re-emitted an intense red light peaking at 615 nm.By combing this phosphor with a～395 nmemitting (In,Ga)N chip,a red LED was fabricated,so that the applicability of this novel phosphor to white LEDs was confirmed.It is considered to be an efficient red-emitting conversion phosphor for solid-state lighting based on (In,Ga)N LEDs.     

Combustion synthesis and luminescence properties of blue NaBaPO4:Eu2+ phosphor

The blue-emitting phosphor NaBaPO4:Eu2+ was prepared by the combustion method. The phase structure and microstructure of the as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Under the excita-tion wavelength of 360 nm, the emission spectrum exhibited only one blue band centering at 435 nm, which was ascribed to the 4f65d1→4f7 transition on Eu2+ ions. Compared with the phosphor obtained by solid-state reaction method, the relative emission intensity of sample ob-tained by combustion method increased slightly. The decay times and the temperature dependence luminescence intensities (25-300 oC) were discussed in order to further investigate the potential applications. Furthermore, Eu2+-doped NaBaPO4 phosphor showed higher thermally sta-ble luminescence comparable to commercially available Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce3+) phosphor. All the investigated suggestions that Na-BaPO4:Eu2+ is a good phosphor candidate applied in white light emitting diode.
